| Yeah! But they come at night, when I'm asleep. I would have to stay up every night, all night. I've been reading about human hair and bath soap hung in bags to repel them. Makes sense. I'm going to try it. There's a beauty shop next door, the only neighbor for about 2 blocks. |

| Just to give you guys, "in the snow" a taste of warmth. The weather in South Texas is about 85 F and sunny. A beautiful day.:-) |

| I've tried a large sharpie, but since some of the lines are not raised as much as others, it was messy. And the sharpie is too harsh. I want it more subdued.Since I've already decaled it, spraying it with a light coat of grey, will subdue the decals, also. I think I made a mistake in decaling it too soon. |

| Off the top of my head, if you wanted to high light something raised, try a material that would be a hard stiff paint roller. Maybe a large marker. If it is hard enough it should only mark the crown. I know nothing about plastic...gave them up 50 yrs ago. |

| I bet Poppy could make a few suggestions, but he's often only around on the weekends. It's just that here you are drawing from a much smaller pool of knowledge on the topic so your odds of a quality reply are low. But you never know, there are some smart cookies around here. :-) |

| Thanks, Steve, I realize that most of the guys model in balsa but I thought that I would try it. I know Poppy dabbles in plastic occasionally. I've tried Swanny's and I don't have the supplies to do it his way, and I'm waiting for my approval at the Google site you recommended. Thanks. |

| You might be barking up the wrong tree as most of us here are not plastics experts. You're not thw only person with this problem, check out what google turned up. |

| Does anyone have any good tips to highlight raised panel lines? |
| sweetwillie, Comment for image # 7245 | 21 Mar 08 11:54 |
| Be Careful! While putting on panel lines, I accidentally broke off the horizintal stab, and, so far, I've broken off both main gear struts. I'm very clumsy. |

| Unfortunately, the panel lines are raised. I was going to do a wash, but with raised panel lines, I couldn't. |

| Sweetwillie, if the panel lines are recessed, you may like to try using a very diluted oil paint mix. Touch the corners with a very fine paint brush and let the paint run into the grooves. Any excess can be wiped off with a dry cloth. Another method I have used in the past is to apply a very dry coat of designers gouache (a water based paint available from any art suppliers) to the panel line areas and let it dry. When dry wipe the gouache off with a lightly dampened cloth or tissue. This will leave the paint in the panel areas only, however be warned both approaches should only be undertaken if the model has been sprayed with a gloss lacquer before hand. |

| I think the panel lines are too harsh. I did the left wing with a lead pencil, and it's too light. I did the other with a sharpie, and I think they are too harsh. How do you guys do it? |
