Auvergne Posted May 31, 2014 Share #31 Posted May 31, 2014 Scale on the Xebec is 1:60....I have read all comments and feel your suggestions are very worthy. I really like the broom idea as well and happen to have black bristles. One more question though for simulated caulking...Pyrography System at a low temperature??? Just an idea but I will probaly do the sharp pencil as it seems a bit easier, less messy,and maintains a realistic result from what I have seen.....thanks a bunch friends... Creativity Heart & Soul!

maggsl_01 Posted May 31, 2014 Share #32 Posted May 31, 2014 Hi, I used a smooth (?) pencil on the edges of the Planks. I think it works quite good. It is not too thick but thick enough to give the Imagination of caulking...

NMBROOK Posted June 2, 2014 Share #35 Posted June 2, 2014 That looks interesting Ulises,some of the sample pics look really good.It is very much a case of actually buying some to be able to see whether it is as good as it looks in the pics.I have never seen this product before. Kind Regards Nigel Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
