Thanks guys!
Adam, no prob at all. Even though I miss the 'ole guy, I like telling the stories. But I realize that some may not wanna hear all that kinda stuff, hence the ‘apology’.
In case ya’ll didn’t notice, I really like to write and I usually prefer to express myself that way because I sometimes sound like a blithering idiot when I talk. Writing is one of my ‘things’…
Tony, thanks for the tip but my scribing technique is totally different from what most have come to know as the ‘accepted’ methods of scribing.
I don’t use any specialty scribing tool, but rather a three-sided jewelers file which grinds the plastic away instead of merely pushing it aside. It’s vastly superior to any scribing tool I’ve tried and, even though I’d only recommend it to the very ‘skilled’, brave or loony, you can actually cut lines freehand with it.
Matter of fact, I was over at a friends place the other night and was scribing that fuselage half using a different kind of tape than what I usually use for my guide and it wasn’t working too well. So I just went and did about ¾ of the scribing on that piece freehand.
That’s one major advantage to using the file; it’s a linear action along a length of one of the sharp edges of the file which does the ‘scribing’, and that makes this tool much more stable than a specialty scribing tool.
Hulk, thanks guy. I kinda like the sound of that ‘Kuroi Ohkami Monogatari’ or whatever you said… [;)]
