Serenity - March 13 2007 |
Painted the windshields of the third set of shuttles |
So for the solar panels I wanted the frames to be a bit distinct from the rest of the solar panels. So I decided to sand them slightly and hope that the black undercoat might show through. However this did not work so I then decided to see if using a sharpie would produce decent results. I know the trying it freehand would not be neat enough looking so I started to mask it off with Tamiya masking tape cut into thin strips. Here they are applied horizontally |
Here is the solar panel and the sharpie |
And after writing on the solar panel |
With the masking tapre removed |
Next is the vertical frame parts |
Finally it is the outside frame. Now that I can do freehand as I can rest the sharpie against the edge to keep it steady ad to draw a straight line. The results look pretty good. Unfortunately it is a bit time consuming and there are a lot of solar panels |
