Reproducing Varnished Teak in 4mm scale
During lockdown I have been building a crossbreed Gresley Coach based on Comet sides, MJT and custom 3D printed parts.
It seemed an ideal opportunity for me to try and do some videos showing my "teaking" method which I have recently uploaded to YouTube. Having gone that far it also seemed an ideal opportunity to do some on how I do lining with a ruling pen.

I imagine I shall enjoy watching those, over several cups of tea and a slice of home made cake.

Thanks for this Mike. Its always interesting to see someone else's approach. The lining in particular as I'm still a novice with a bow pen - I must hone the tips more I think.

I have added a couple of additional videos. In hindsite there are some aspects that could have been improved, one of which is to try and zoom in on what I am doing and try and stay in frame. With that in mind I have attempted to supplement the first four videos with closer images and almost got away with it:

Re: Reproducing Varnished Teak in 4mm scale
Thanks Mike. It was very nice to see how you actually go about the teaking and lining process, and I managed to watch all of the videos without the aid of tea and cake.
Had you noticed in the fifth video the unfortunate increasing tendency for the subject matter to be out of focus (too close to the camera?) from the "half-time" point onwards?

That's funny, I bought some at Morrison's this afternoon. Trouble is, when you open the packet, you have to eat all of them.Atlantic 3279 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:05 am

Information on this process anywhere seems difficult to find so I hope this will fill some gaps.

Re: Reproducing Varnished Teak in 4mm scale
Thanks Mike a really good video, I now know what to do.
A lot easier than I thought the written descriptions always seem complicated.

Thanks. I should have included before and after images:

... but only on Ealing Broadway?

Other Sainsbury's branches are available.
Re: Reproducing Varnished Teak in 4mm scale
Why don't you use a Rotring pen for lining? They come with various sized nibs and are much easier to use than a lining pen. Just put the appropraite colour ink in the cartridge and you're ready. For curves, use a radius gauge.
