Learning to scribe!

Post by CJSomerset »

Accidentally bought a raised panel line "classic" 1970's kit :wall:

So now I'm learning to re scribe - sand - re scribe :bash: I'm getting the hang of it but the there's one bit I can't figure out.

What's the best way to clean all the crap out of the line?
Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints!

Hi CJ,

I can't remember where I saw this method first but it was a YouTube build.

After scribing your line run over it with Tamiya Extra Thin (lightly loaded brush) and it melts and smooths the raised lips and melts any little bits of debris left in the groove.

I've recently tried this on a build and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Hope this helps.

:cheers2:
