Get That Professional Finish With Edging

Edging is a simple technique that only takes a couple of extra minutes but turns your models from "so so" to WOW! Its all about that annoying white line that shows up when you score and fold your models. The models look great but if you could only get rid of that white line they would look so much better...and they do!

How to "EDGE"
  • Edging is very simple. Get yourself set up with three primary felt colors:
    • A Black Felt (A black felt is an absolute must as it seems to work well for almost any model youre working on but can be too dark in some cases)
    • A Grey Felt ( Great for stone, metalic and washed out colors)
    • A Brown Felt ( Perfect for most wood and earth tones)
  • Once you've completed a model look at its overall colorscheme and select a felt that is the closest match.
  • On each white crease that is visible lightly drag your felt across the length of the seam. This may require more than one pass depending on how deep the cut /fold is.

You might be shaky at first but after a few models you'll be an edging pro! Your friends will think you blew hundreds on some solid models. Just try edging one model and you'll never look back ;)
