nheather Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 After some recommendations for a scriber. Just a basic one, but a good quality one. For when you have joined two parts, smoothed out the seam but you now need to complete the panel line that got rubbed out in the process.

dromia Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 IPMS do an excellent couple of sets for modellers at a friendly price, however I suspect that one would need to be a member to acquire. Cabinet makers scrapers and edging burrs are available from various internet woodworking sources, I prefer the kidney or goose necked one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dromia Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sorry misread your post. My favourite scriber is the RB productions one followed by the Bare Metal one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nheather Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Is the Tamiya scriber any good? Would have gone with the Scribe-R but realistically I’m not going to find one easily. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I have the Tamiya scriber and the Bare Metal Foil one. I prefer the Tamiya. I think it cuts easier and cleaner. You can get replacement blades for the Tamiya and I find it difficult to keep the BMF one sharp At Hannants, the Tamiya one is cheaper as well https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TA74091?result-token=kkAYT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I always thought the Tamiya one was an Olfa P cutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The Bare Metals scriber is easily sharpened, but it's best for straight lines and gentle curves. A JLC saw does an excellent job with straight lines on convex surfaces. I use a hardened divider point in a needle vice whenever I use a scribing template.

dromia Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I find the "P" cutter fine if you want to scribe a WW1 trench system, the Tamiya looks suspiciously like the Olfa, however if it uses thinner blades it should be fine. As has been said razor saws for the convex curves again I find the RB ones to me excellent and prefer them over the JLC for use, range flexibility and price.

bmwh548 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Been using the Trumpeter one. Pretty good, I like that it can go right up against the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
