Black around windows

How do I do black trim on the body around the model

what I do is take a black marker and lay it down where I want it, then I carfully go over it with black acrylic paint. Once the paint dries, I go back and straighten everything out with the marker again. I do it all freehand as every time I try to mask off windshields, I snap the plastic, paint leaks under the tape, or i accidently get paint on the frontside of the windshield. Good luck! (you'll need it)

I'm a retard :bloated:

Do you mean like, black in between door jams, around windshields and in body lines? For the big ones: permanent marker, far tiny details, I've got a small gundammarker. Keep a toothpick handy and a bottle of thinner. If you accidently stray off line, dip the toothpick in thinner and you can easily scratch out the mistake

edit: the "toothpick trick" i use is also good when you screw up the windshield.

YOu have nice article about that made by Pman on my site.
Address is below. On page you will find link to Tamiya pages which have that tips, too.

I think this is what you want ??

Testors/model master has a acrylic pen that works great on window/windshield trim. the tip is foam so it contours to edges, and leaves straight lines.
