Title: EZ line sizes
Post by: smperry on September 29, 2020, 09:01:09 AM

I have decided to give EZ Line a try on card models. A google search shows it comes in Fine and Heavy and in more than one color.
Never used it, never even seen it. Can anyone tell me the best size and color for 1:32 scale?
TIA

You want the fine and colour ...black . Don't use the heavy line . It is much wider and if not pull straight , it will have a very noticable twist .

There is also Uschi line which comes in standard (32 scale ) fine (48 scale ) and super fine (72 scale )

This line is round not flat like the ez-line . This is what I used for 32 scale and 48 scale depending on the build .

Thanks Stewart, I have it filed now. That will come in most handy now and on future builds.
