aboard! If ya have questions just ask away! (in the propper forum ofcourse.)

Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference. Gundams don't have that problem.

Thanxx for the warm welcome!

Yes I do have a question :)

I'm build 1/72 and 1/48 aircrafts and need to know how to engrave the panel lines to make the aircraft look more realistic. Any hints?

As for your question try the aircraft section or the techniques section.

Thanx for the warm welcome Boba!

I build armor, figures, and create dioramas in 1/35 scale. It is easy to make friends here but I don't think that you can add one as a friend :( unlike facebook!

What do you build?

For engraving panel lines, I use a needle in a pin vise and a piece of Dymo tape as a guide, or a scribing tool I got from Squadron, or a serrated Xacto blade for short, straight cuts across say- fuselage halves or wing leading edges.
