Paul, I originally looked at this link at work and could not see the pic. Now that I see what you are doing I would go for a wider flat brush. I have a 550 in 24th in my hands and a rough guess would be 6.5mm for the centre and 4mm width for the fenders for that scale. You could calculate down for 32nd or just measure the car. I think a 10/0 brush would take you a long time and leave you with a lot of brush marks (though I've never tried the linseed
oil approach).
I've also been told by a friend who was a Pinhead (pinstripers union or something) that a quick stroke is best as you don't wriggle the brush from side to side as your muscles try to adjust and stay steady.
I would love to see pics when you get it done!
Hey Jamo,
How about a Cobra model and collectibles forum?
