StuartMont Posted May 26, 2023 Report Posted May 26, 2023 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, 2023 Report Posted May 26, 2023 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
StuartMont Posted May 26, 2023 Author Report Posted May 26, 2023 Awesome! Thanks so much for the reply.
Ron Bell Posted May 26, 2023 Report Posted May 26, 2023 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.
StuartMont Posted May 26, 2023 Author Report Posted May 26, 2023 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.
Ron Bell Posted May 27, 2023 Report Posted May 27, 2023 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
Ron Bell Posted May 27, 2023 Report Posted May 27, 2023 Oh, and as to the stripes, be careful on compound curves or tapers.
StuartMont Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Posted May 27, 2023 Thanks for the link! Here’s my workspace, plastic airplane models and Ancient Egypt.
