Hi Guys,

Would like to know if any of you folks here have any helpful tips on creating good yellow lines (passing lines) for 1/64 scale? I have about 40" of straight road that need a good straight yellow line (passing lines). Thanks for your help....

Hey Russ.
I use body pinstripe for cars, and it can be cut to the length you like to use. I find it inexpensive and it comes in all sorts of colours.

Thanks for the tips guys. I like both ideas, but leaning towards the pinstripping one, as it leaves for less error. Only problem is I cannot seem to find any 1/8" yellow pinstriping. Tried AutoZone, Checkers, ebay, and a yahoo search. ;-(

Finished up my project last week, just have had no new products to get a post in. ;-( The lines worked perfect! I am glad I went with the pinstriping, so much easier, and it looks nice.

See some photos of my other stuff on the site now, and soon you will see the big 40" x 20" display that i finished up, thanks to you guys.
