I am trying a new method of resurrecting raised panel lines by painting over a strand of hair, canopy now on with Future, wings on soon, will try some paint over those lines first.

She's looking fine so far, look forward to the finish.
Hmm...that's an interesting idea with the hair! I wonder how well it will stay on the model after being painted on, then gloss/dull coated a time or two. I would be concerned that when I went to add my usual pastel chalk panel line enhancement, or other weathering with pigments, I might knock it loose. Let me know how well it fares for you when done.
Allan, the show at Patuxent was in 1967, just before I went into the Army. The woman who fainted recovered, the biggest difficulty was the medics threading their way thru the crowd to get to her. Driving over the beer cans!
Thanks Robert.---------thanks Greg, the hair doesn't stick but seems to leave a good line, will see how it looks with a coat of paint soon.---------thanks Bernard.
