Pannel lines are done with Ripdeiograph pens. The lines are black. As are these too.

Robert,

What do you use in the pens...will India ink work.  I have a set left over from "in the day".

[RC Storick]

You must use inda ink for film.

[Richard Grogan]

Is it fuel proof on film, or do you have to treat it with clearcote?

[RC Storick]

You must use clear over all panel lines if you want them to last any length of time. and with film ink if you want it to last more than a minute.

[Richard Grogan]

Did you use dope or automotive paints on these birds?

[RC Storick]

Urethane but dope will work OK.

[Richard Grogan]

Thanks for your patience and info! I ordered a pen set and I'm going to try my hand at it with the vector after I paint it. Probably need to practice on something before I give it a go, though...RG

Make sure you use a cork back ruler. That elevates the metal off the surface you are inking.

[Richard Grogan]

Thanks. I have a 12 and 24" ss ruler thats cork-backed. Is there a cure time for the ink before you clear cote? How long do you wait before you lay the ruler on fresh ink for the next intersection line without getting a smear? Or is it pretty much instant dry...

[RC Storick]

Drys pretty quic. I wait a day to clear.
