Hi all, I was wondering how you all tackle the defining lines, for windows, doors, etc? These are straight, but many of the models feature curved lines. What tools do you use to carve out the lines? John
I have the luxury of a "cutting laser" to cut routing templates, however, they could probably made with a scrollsaw/jigsaw (carefully). My Hummer build should detail how I do it... though Master Yoda Dutchy could provide better insight... though he now has a laser as well (sorry for the reveal Dutchman).
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
For something like that I'd instantly turn to the laser for etching. If not, you could use an ink marker. I've used rapidograph pens (drafting tools) before, india ink and precise lines/widths. With the pens though you'd need to pre-seal the wood so it doesn't suck up the ink and bleed, then top coat to preserve it. Another option is decals.
