The whole panel line process is done with guides and patterns but sosme areas are particularly difficult. The tape itself becomes the guide. This is another type pen which can be used. Questions?

Fantastic! Thanks for going through that process. Now I need to build another model to use it on! I have several WW1 models in the queue right now, but I see a WWII model in the near future too. Or perhaps I can build that F104 that I have scratch build plans for! :)

Very informative. Presentation is top notch. Is there ever a problem with the ink bleeding under the guides? Capillary? Especially using the thinner guides. I haven't used these particular pens so maybe they don't lay down too much ink.

It does happen. It's important to keep the guide as close to the surface as possible. That means holding it with the fingers of one hand while inking with the other. Guides do get ink on them and it's best to chunk them when they do. After all, they're cheap. If ink does bleed it can be removed usually with a wet Q tip. It doesn't always work, though.

I agree with pfinn. The process of defining panels is VERY WELL PRESENTED. I think I just might attempt a line or two. Thank you for the presentation.
