Well done Wayne, good work.

Thanks Wayne ,This will be a big help

Do you think I could still use this "Method" on 1/72 models?

Sure Why not?

I used it on my 1/144 Zero!!

 

[109ROAMING]

Awesome

I just thought maybe the panel lines would be to small

Pleasing to know you could do it that small!

 

[Wayne Little]

You just need to make sure the lead is at a sharp point and do it carefully, a little bit at a time.....

Thanks for the clarification Mate

 

[Wayne Little]

You're Welcome Daniel...Merry Christmas mate!!

Absolutely bl**dy f*cking brilliant Wayne....! I was going to ask you what you use for the panellines as I like the way yours look on you models...fantastic! 8)

I agree, you should do a book!

I like the idea of using the lead pencil on panel lines... I did it on my first model once my return, but did not chisel the tip which game the parallel train track look to them on my Bf 109F-4....

That being said, I was planning on using an acrylic umber/black grey wash for bringing up my panel lines on my JV44 Dora-9...

Is this a bad idea??? Do both???

Nothing wrong with your idea Dan! Go with what you are comfortable with...

 

[Lucky13]

I'll try this one on the Mossie, me think....

 

[lesofprimus]

I dont know what Im comfortable with Wayne... Ive never done the wash before, so I dont know the results I should expect compared with the pencil work....

Obviously the pencil work would be easier and neater in the grand scheme of things, but what about the differing results...

Well you need to decide my friend? Try one method on this model and the other on the next.....or grab an 'el cheapo' to practice on...maybe?

Times like this that I wish that I had a printer...

Argos, just under 30 quid, Hewlett Packard Deskjet D1360. Had mine over two years, it's fast, economical, flexible, and comes with H.P. software for photo-editing etc. And, you can get refill inks at less than half the H.P. price through Cartridge World!
Looking forward to seeing it in the 'Recent Purchases' thread!

That might cut into my Guinness, Whisky and Gin consumption though... ...hmmmm! Can I handle that old sausage?
