Scratchbuilt K'tinga and Ent D using paper templates for scribing

rel · 03-15-2008, 01:41 AM

Hello,

Here's a 1/350 scale K'tinga I made with the traditional methods, but it has a very elaborate panel and scribing pattern. What I did was print out the scribe patterns, attach them to the hull with tape, then use a xacto to "cut" the lines into the hull.

After all the lines are in place, I went back with a scribing tool and scribed them in deeper.

The finished fiberglass casting.

And the finished ship using that same paper method all over the hull.

I used this same technique on other projects that required scribing. Like this scratchbuilt Enterprise D below.

To do this over a complex curve, it may be necessary to take a rubbing of the surface, then scan, and import it into a graphics program like Corel to make the scribe details.

How did you create such straight lines?

They look perfect.
