StuartMont Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Good morning. I was hoping someone might provide some advice on how to paint these very thin lines on the Mk. 20 Rockeyes. I practiced with a short liner brush and made a real mess of it. Masking the lines is difficult due to space and obstructions. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Ron Bell Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Microscale makes decal stripes in all sorts of colors and widths. MUCH easier than painting. https://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=STRIPES&Check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bell Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 And I see one of your areas of interest is ancient Egypt. I went on a tour up the Nile this spring. Giza, Luxor, Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel and more. Amazing trip to an amazing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartMont Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 Wonderful trip full of incredible sites you’ll never forget I’m sure. I’ve been studying ancient Egypt since 1977 when I took a class during my freshman year and immediately became addicted. My plan is to visit sometime in the next 5 years 🤞 BTW - already ordered the stripes, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 EF Go Head tours are great. Small groups. Certified Egyptologist guides. Been on several and all were very good. This was my tour and was great. https://www.goaheadtours.com/guided-tours/egypt-the-nile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Oh, and as to the stripes, be careful on compound curves or tapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
