UN_MARINE Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I finally decided to do some panel lining & got carried away. the Hasegawa kit was great reference material, especially for the sticker placement. it was all done with this: *not recommended for the v2.0 1/60, there are reports of the plastic reacting unpleasantly w/ the marker ink. (can anybody confirm/debunk this?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leading edge Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Thanks How did you get the rivets so evenly spaced? Did you use a precalculated temlate? I like to use a .005 drill bit by hand very small so I have to be careful or the bit will snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to use a .005 drill bit by hand very small so I have to be careful or the bit will snap. Would you believe it's all done freehand? i started with one side, while counting the rivets i draw, then try to match the other side. Other times, i drew the rivets from opposite sides of a particular panel one at a time until i reached the middle. If i worked fast enough, i could erase the rivets & start over. other times, i ran out of time/space & the rivet would be ridiculously close to the edge of the panel. The straight lines though, were drawn in w/ the help of an erasing shield. i thought about using drilling the rivets in too, but it would've gotten tedious real fast & can't be undone. The marker approach on the other hand, was quick & painless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
