How important are panel lines to you?
89AKurt replied to edward smith's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've been involved with two other groups, first one is Yavapai Scale Modelers, then the very formal IPMS Lt. Ernest A. Love chapter, and currently another casual group called Where Eagles Dare. All I will say here is, personalities. I look forward to your review! I was going to spring for it anyway, so maybe I can argue with you about the merits. Just looking at the tips, can't see why they won't work. -

Model Factory Hiro discontinuing 1/24?
89AKurt replied to aurfalien's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I asked customer service at Spot Model about this topic. Their response: On your thread, here's our two cents It's true that MFH is now quite focused on 1/12 and 1/43, not releasing almost anything in 1/20-1/24, but it's not related to any problems with Ferrari Thing is that Mr. Hiro has and always will do whatever he is in the mood (a true scale modeling free soul :), whenever he wants, whatever he wants, and just the way he wants, and during this period he's just not in the mood of Ferraris or 1/20-24th That simple -
How important are panel lines to you?

Bumping this old thread, because I searched before posting about something I was turned on to at a recent club meeting. I've done the X-acto blade thing before. I've done the thinned black in the lines, and afterwards thought it looked overdone on a pearl white paint job. It also depends on the kit, how much needs to be done on panel lines. Has anyone tried the Tamiya engraving tool? Not what most hobby shops carry, but the tungsten variety, price no object. There are other brands too, Saki-Gake and GSI Creos. They are also called line chisels. I've dealt with the pushing out of the plastic, these supposedly don't. Looks like a nice tool for straighter lines, not circles and tight curves. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XTamiya+engraving+tool.TRS0&_nkw=Tamiya+engraving+tool&_sacat=220 -

Gor for it! Cutting out the doors is half the challenge, doing hinges that work is still a bugger for me. I have never tried flocking, looks like another bugger. I was recently turned onto Zero Designs self-adhesive carpet, worked great so far. https://www.hiroboy.com/Red_Self_Adhesive_Flocking_Sheet--product--5152.html

That's a lame excuse for not owning the real thing. The reason I don't own a Countach, is because I'm too tall. Hope posting my photo doesn't top my quota, so steal while you can. When I attended the IPMS Nationals in 2013, they had a tour to a Shelby museum. It's not blue, but still cool! -

Thank you everyone. Yes, inaccurate kits are great for this theme. I have an AMT Mercedes Gullwing that I want to use for a diorama.

I got that Renault R5 rally car a long time ago, it's average quality, but has the engine. I might consider the Jaguar XKE.

Red Frog Hobbies, are they out of business? I ordered a Historic Miniatures Porsche 917 engine, I got an email from PayPal on Jan. 11, and then on Jan. 21 for payment withdrawal. But I have not received it, nor have they sent any emails, and I have contacted them twice via their website, and called three times but voicemailbox is full. I've had better service from Russians (yes I ordered a Porsche 959 Paris Dakar transkit, he responded with numerous emails, and I received it). Was hoping somebody lived close by, and/or knew them.
