Panel line question

[MaukaRunner]

Are panel lines on the door handles OK?? I notice some don't but to me it looks incomplete.

Here are some pics of my Altezza which I did the door handles and the front grill



Here is the front grill with a panel line



Let me know what you think.

I think it looks best when you are consistant and do all the major lines.

i think it looks great how it is. which kit is that by the way?

[MaukaRunner]

Sorry it's not a kit, its my Mini Z Altezza body. I haven't done a panel line in a long time and was testing my pen.

If the door handle detail is good i will do it, but a lot of kits its not the best so most times i leave it out

On flush-mounted handles, I always draw in a line under the handle, where one's fingers curl underneath; there's always a shadow there anyways.

Hey MaukaRunner,

The car looks great. Now how did u get the panel lines so perfect and what did u use? I'm working on a pennzoil skyline and still deciding whether to put on the panel lines or not.

[bah humbug]

It's beautiful.

This is what I use it is a Koh-I-Noor Technical Pen

The size is 0000

cost about $20



I am supprised that no one mentions this technique. It is much simpler than the capilary method.

I learned this technique from a friend 10 years ago so it shouldn't be something new.

Hope this helps!

Oh Calsonic GT Practice on a old or junk model before doing it on your current project since the ink is somewhat permenant.
