1/700 helicopter windows painting

Post by J Cheng »

Hi, all:

I have been painting the 1/700 helicopter windows, but I still have trouble stabilizing my hand when I do so. Any suggestions?

Also, what is the best way to make the window frames as detailed as possible for the 1/700 helicopters? Any suggestions?

Thanks....

I use a very thin tipped permanent marker, does the job very well :D

You know them Sharpie things you get at Staples? Yeah, those ones with the non-felt tip called Ultra Fine Point. Bad thing is, the tip is not sharp, but rather a circle with the diameter of perhaps two/thirds of an mm, so you have to be careful around the corners...
