Ola People
Somebody in the dutch forum asked something and in answer I made a small drawing for him and I thought it would just be usefull for you guys that don`t know the trick. It`s a trick to use the Xacto for Seams and woodstructure. I learned it from Shep Paine and I made a newer diagram of it and it will be part of the Illustrated Beginners Encyclopedia (IBE)
Here it is I hope it is of some use to some of you:

That's the method I used to get this:
The kit's ammo crate was terrible, and scribing with an x-acto blade to add or to improve the existing wood grain was a
must! ...'cept for me and my monkey.

Ola guys
Thanks for the feedback.
Mastertyno.
At the moment there is not really a place online besides my gallery where the IBE is located. At this moment there are only 2 IBE sheets and more are in progress I soon get Help and then there will be more sheets made. It will also be divided in sections like: Stuff to do with the Xacto, Glue, Scratching with aluminum foil etc.
The first two sheets can be found herein my gallery:
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/photos/showgallery.php/cat/12297/ppuser/777 I hope you guys like it and more will be posted in the future
