I'm closing in on getting a scale project done for the NW Regionals (usual disclaimer -- I may actually get it to this upcoming Regionals, but then, maybe 2023...
The original is white with big blocks of red, set off with matching-color pinstripes. They're probably 1/4" to 1/2" wide on the original, but that means they're going to be teeny on the model.
I could just cheat and make the pinstripes with red Sharpie, and if anyone points out that they don't match retreat behind claims of colorblindness (which I can, because I am, partly). But I'm much rather they actually match.
I'm painting with dope.
Is there a way to make such fine lines with dope? At the moment I'm leaning toward thinning dope with pure retarder, and using those drafting pens that usually see more use as Things to Puzzle Millennials, when they see any use at all. Is that a stupid idea? Is there a better way? Should I just use red Sharpie and pretend that all reds are the same red?
