Easy Pinstriping

[Keith_1]

Hi All,

Thought I would add something on pinstriping.

I build model locomotives and the last on was an 1890 Stirling Single. It had lots of pinstiping on it.

Played around with masking tape etc but result was shocking.:C

Went to an Art Supply shop to see what they had.

They had varying size tipped paint pens. They were only $5 each

Bought an Engineering compass that the pens will fit in. Compass was a bit dear $35 but will last a long time. Great for pinstriping curved sections and around wheel hubs

Pinstriped the boiler circumference using black and white pinstriping paint pens.

Here is a photo of the loco pinstriped.

Thoroughly recommend these pens as they are easy to use and do a pretty good job.

Regards

Keith

Well worth thinking about I have used sharpie's for pin stripping in the past also on a loco that I built
