I am doing a scale paint scheme on my Eurofighter, panel lines are already molded into the fuse. I am wondering what the process is to make them look scale.
Terry,
When you say are you spraying towards the cardboard or away from it? The chalk sounds like a good way to simulate but if you rub it with your finger dosent it leave a line the width of the finger?
This will be my first time attempting this, just thought it would be fun to learn how....
Thanks
Todd
Hold the cardboard at an angle with the edge "In" the panel line, spray over the cardboard from 6" or more with half the spray pattern hitting the edge of the cardboard and half hitting the plane. Practice on another surface to get the method down. I use model railroad waterbased "Grimy black" thinned a bunch. and it can be wiped off if you get too much on, then do it 'til you get it right.
As for the chalk, keep wiping with the finger or " Paper towel" 'til it looks good. I f you wipr off too much, dust some more on.
Practice, Young Jedi, and the Force will be with you!
