You would not steal a wallet so don't steal people's livelihood.
Think of that before your buy "cheap" pirated goods or download others work protected by copyright. Theft is theft.

A question for David. Why do you scribe through the corners of a square/rectangle? Is it easier that way? Ops, that's two questions.

Hey, Roger
(your photo of that SSBN in dry-dock provided the dope I needed for Moebius to get the SKIPJACK MSW gratings right -- thanks for that)
The over-strikes (engraved lines extending past the engraved items corners) is a consequence of dragging the scratch-awl with an even pressure into and slightly past the items corner -- if I endeavored to stop the engraving process at the corner I would slightly vary the speed, pressure and angle on the tool, producing a non-uniform depth and width of cut. Better to drag on past the corner, and fill the over-strikes with putter later than to wind up with and engraved item of varied width and depth.
Anyway, since almost all engraved items featured a tight radius at the corners -- not a tight right-angle intersection -- I had to come back with a radius scribe and engrave each corner again anyway.
Unless you use a dedicated scribing stencil, like these:
This is why God gave us Bondo and air-dry touch-up putty, pal.

LOVE THOSE TEMPLATES!! You have the neatest gadgets. What is that? A molded piece of GRP?IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

Yes. First, after getting the model into primer gray, I give it a few coats of PVA, then wax it, then lay up the stencil blanks out of GRP. Remove them, soak the model in water to melt off the PVA, punch holes into the blanks, and scribe away.

David, your scribing technique is another one of your neat tricks I'll copy shamelessly. Thanks for the tip.
