I only have the RO version of Forum Runner and it is ok. The free version doesn't automatically log me in like Tapa does. How is the log on for Forum Runner work out on logging in.

Logging in was simple. Now it does so automatically each time I start it. It's so much faster than browsing the web page. It does have a toggle to go to the web page view though in case you need to see it. I'm not sure how posting pics will work just yet.

I scrapped the roll part of the roll scene. Just ended up looking like some sad raiders totally out of control.

So, I decided to just do the same scene before the roll (and still in control - LOL).

Anyway, this is what I ended up with.

Are your details on the ship, i am referring to the scribe lines. Convex or concave. I got the revell 30 th Ann. Raider off eBay and they are convex. I was thinking in my head how could that of been done then. Most often they are concave from the back of an xacto with a broken tip. I guess it could be brass wire in s scale. Just curious!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I really appreciate it. I need to get to finishing the damaged wing now. I think I got kind of burnt out on this one. and haven't really touched that wing at all yet since first painting it. Maybe this week I'll get to it.

The panel lines are cut into the body so they're concave. I think in general all panel lines are meant to be scribed into the body of whatever the subject is. A lot of injection molded kits have raised panel lines, especially the cheaper ones, because it's a cheaper process for the manufacturers (I'm told). I could be wrong but I think they scribe the molds to create the raised panel lines. I really like the look of scribed in panel lines and actually re-scribed all of the panel lines on Revell Raider I did. It was very tedious but really looks a lot better. Once the primer goes on you see a huge difference in how the model looks overall. http://www.hanshortes.com/dbhsmodeler/D ... osd-16.JPG.

It is amazing how much those lines stand out with just a drag of an exacto blade on the plastic can show up. Looks awesome.
