                        I have had some success with a razor saw on convex curves and other trouble spots. Once the line had been started the saw helped deepen the scribe and was easier to keep in the line.

                        I like to use an x-acto knife to make the initial scribe then follow up with a scriber. There is a neat hook/curved blade for the x-acto knife which is great for doing lines on missiles, bombs, etc.

                        ans: slowly ad with what ever tool you feel comfortable with.
                        I use a steel scribe, a plastic scribe, a pin chuck in a pin vise, and a triangular file
                        plus the assortment of tapes and rules.

                        with one of those scribbing saws that have the various sized teeth, or just using a sewing needle in a pin vise?

                        THis would be for 1/48 scale.
