Hello folks !!
I have some time in modelling, but I just started my first steps in the scribing techniques, and even having almost all the tools (I think), I’m having a very hard time, specially in the round parts of aircraft fuselage…B)
Does anybody have some personal experience or solution for those parts, and tips, so I can improve the final results of my scribing ?
I anticipate my thanks !
Eddie
Here you go, see if this fills the bill.

Edilson,
Swanney’s post was the most complete description i’ve read on scribing. One thing i’ve learned and will add…the very moment you believe you can free hand a scribe line is the very moment you need to take a break…have smaller less complex projects on the side to maintane your interest in model building.

Thank you very much, guys !!.. that will help a lot… !
I know it’s hard, but I won’t give up…[:D]…
Thanks for the advice, too !
Good modelling !
That’s a great wepsite. I always had problems with scribing. I’m going try some of those technique. [:)]
i do most of my scribing with a sewing needle chucked into a pin vise. i normally use a erasing template for a straight edge and it is capable of going around some fairly mean curves. if the erasing template doesn’t do it, i use labeling tape as swanny has shown. later.
Edilson, this was a question that has popped into my head a few times. Thanks for asking it, and a special thanks to swanny for having such an informative, and illustrative writeup on it. semper fi, mike
