Hey Klowns!! I came up with a neat idea for pinstriping 1/24 scale models!! I was building a 1932 ford dash when the hobby knife slipped and scratched the dash!! The more I looked at it the more it looked like pinstriping!! Paint your dash first , after it is totally dry use your hobby knife tip and start scratching away carefully the designs you want!! Start from the top down!! Experiment on scrap pieces first until you get used to it!! You can seal it with clear!! Check out this tip with illustrations on the Scale Auto Magazine tips page!! Thanks!!
