Any one know how to put the black around the warning lights on the Siku Thomas FS-65? NO SHARPIE! If you do, like Jeff, can you tell me where to tape it off at, and what PAINT to use?
Thanks |

Because, eventually Sharpie will smudge really bad and wear off, then your bus will look like crap. Plus it looks really bad. |

I am going to be brief on this. I have a few people that have e-mailed me about this topic. First DO NOT use Sharpie's on these models.
You will need some simple,basic supplies to customize these buses.
A ruler, exacto knife, or small box cutter with small blades, and Vinyl. Colored Vinyl can be purchased at any hobby store, but sign shops carry the best adhesive backed vinyls.
All of my black striping is made with glossy black vinyl, white roofs are glossy white vinyl. This is very simple to do. If you insist on using markers to out-line or touch up black, DO NOT use Sharpie's. I can not remember the brand name of the markers I use, but they are about 5 dollars per pen and they have a very, very, strong odor. Those are the best to use.
Most Hobby places like Michael's or Hobby Lobby have these. I have some one who has agreed to help me post a video on "youtube" on how I do some of these bus details. However this will not happen over the next 2 and half weeks. I am on vacation and I will NOT be doing this until mid January at the earliest. So please do not bombarde me with e-mails asking me when. I will post a message on here with the link and what the title is!
Hope Everyone has a Great and Safe Holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
