ratdoggy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 What do you use to outline the door and truck lines. The Donn Yost video mentioned a calligraphy pen but I can't make out which one specifically it is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Some of the best looking panel lines out there, in my humble opinion. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80880 Edited May 12, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Another method.... Tamiya acrylic flat black in the little jar. Do scribe your lines so that they are deep enough to accept paint. Paint your model as you normally would. Then take the flat black acrylic paint and whittle a toothpick down a bit to fit in the line. Dip the toothpick in the acrylic paint and drag in the line like you are writing with a quill ink pen. If a little paint gets outside the line onto the body edges, that's okay because it's acrylic. Once you have the line, just wipe the body area with a clean damp Q-TIp. Just don't let the paint dry on the body, even then you can polish a little bit or any haze off. This one was painted with Tamiya spray paint. Most of the time I work with Duplicolor automotive lacquers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyD340 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I know everyone has their own method but I personally use Marcos Cruz's method myself and I have to agree with Bill but you have to find whatever works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluebomb Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I bought a panel scriber from Micro-Mark and use black Pigma liner pens. Works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
