    Using capillary action you pick up the paint. After dipping you wipe excess off, then apply it. How is it not creating a blob as you apply it. This method of course requires much practice just like air brushing.
    And that, boys and girls, is how you eventually get to Carnegie Hall.

        Oh, the line end is scraped away to give it a finished edge. Part two after laying down the line in the previous post. Got it.

        Still requires practice and a steady hand.

          David, mid-picture, are you whiping clear coat over?

          Is the white paint acrylic?

            After all the markings went down I mixed up some white, water soluble smear pencil with water and vertically streaked that around the upper works of the ALFA model. That was followed by a well flattened clear coat. Once that cured I removed the masking.

            Next operation is to apply the narrow, white boot-topping, and after that start in on weathering the below waterline portions of the model.

            Almost three weeks before the Submarine base, SubEx 2025 event. Gotta get on my horse with this project.

                  Can I say this is your best work, without you being offended?
                  Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.
