I'm an old dog....
please teach me a new trick, correctly. For the life of me, I cannot do panel lines. Case in point, 1:48 Dauntless. Painted in enamels, tricolr scheme, very nice I might add. Sprayed 2 coats of future, let it dry 24hrs.
Mixed 1 part acrylic flat black and 2 parts water, nie and thinn, three drops of detergent. Total volume, about 5 mls.
Fine brush in the panel lines over the cowel and on the bottom side of the horizontal rudder. Black flowed nicely into the lines. Black smudged the enamel paint. Tried to start wiping it up, forget it, it is dry and in the paint. Used a damp rag, used a cue tip, no luck, panel lines and surreunding area is smudged black. What in the world am I doing wrong? For one thing, I should work this out on something else, my mistake. But, I thought I had read enough posts to tell me how to do it. I am wrong, I can't do it for some inexplicable reason. Other than that, the Dauntless is gorgeous.
