edtherenderman | 28-Feb-21 20:16 | Bottom is painted a gray primer. Started drawing in panel lines. Pretty close to do, but need a few details, like access panels. There are almost no reference pictures of the underside of this aircraft. Challenge with building a prototype aircraft where only two examples were built! So, a lot of guesswork here. |

bobgood | 01-Mar-21 15:58 | This is really amazing work...... |
biplane guy | 01-Mar-21 16:26 | How do you get straight panel lines on curved surfaces? That's really good. |
edtherenderman | 01-Mar-21 16:28 | I use pens. For the lighter panel lines, I use COPIC Multi-Liner in Cool Gray, 0.3 and 0.5. The darker lines around the doors are COPIC Multi-Liner SP Black 0.3 and 0.5. The COPIC pens are nice because they are waterproof and dry very quickly. Once they are dry, you don't have to worry about smudging. |
edtherenderman | 01-Mar-21 16:39 | for drawing lines, I think I'm using Dave Duckett's technique, 0.01" polystyrene. Very flexible. For panels I need to repeat, I cut a template from the styrene and use calipers measuring from the center line to try to get as accurate placement as possible. |
