Hey Curtis, May I suggest using a pencil, or an artist black pencil from Hobby Lobby or else where, to highlight your doors, hood and other areas. it really can make your vehicles more defined. your doing a decent job, just trying to help.

Not a problem. If have a question on something you would like to improve on please feel free to PM me. I.ve wired them, polished them, know where to get almost any extras. P.s Tamaya makes a panel line paint with a small brush under the cap if you'd like to try that too.

From The Mediocre Modelers group, a Public Group on Facebook:
Chris Dunlap They would stand out more. Maybe with a pin wash you could achieve the same result
Dave Cabrera I like it. Nice job.
Guy Vinnels It does help to define the panel lines but its up to you , I think that looks first class already .
Ray Smith Cool model.
Nova James As primarily a car builder I sometimes do and sometimes don't. Yes it makes them more pronounced but in my opinion on most cars it over emphasis them. Most jamb gaps are gonna be 3/16 to 5/16 on classic American cars and the jambs are the same color as the exterior so in my opinion they wouldn't be bold when scaled down. I will use a wash on some but never the solid black lines I've seen many use, just my opinion
Russ Trotter I just did the slightest dab of panel liner on a car build I'm finishing up and it just followed the molded grove almost around the whole door naturally thinning it out as it got longer. Got a nice subtle appeal
