- This is one way to do small chrome pieces, emblems and badges. I just learned of this idea so I thought I would share this. Please keep in mind the end result of mine isn't the best but it don't need to be. I build weathered models. This just gives a great idea of how you could do this. For my subscribers you also get to hear my future wife lol. She is funny

Instead of an index card, I used a small piece of a Tylenol box. The paint didn't soak into the cardboard as much as the Tylenol box was coated. Seemed to make a difference.
Thanks so much for the great tip. It worked great. From Niagara Falls, Canada
hello Ed... that is an awesome idea to do raised lettering...thx 4 sharing..vinny
Absolutely brilliant! I tried this technique after watching this video, and it definitely works. Thanks for sharing 💯🔥🙌🏾
Thanks for sharing. I've never seen it done that way. I'm definitely gonna give it a try. Happy Modeling ~ Cory
I use a similar method, but I put a piece of masking tape folded over the edge of the card. The fibers of the card don’t soak up as much of your chrome. Good video, I hope you get that Lou fixed up.
That's what I was thinking of trying, the tape
Just found your channel. Very cool tip. I dont know how many times ink just flowed uncontrollably, kind of like your Lou, over my work trying to do it from the pen. Entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
I find using a Tooth Pick really easy . Just dip it in the paint that is in the lid of your paint , Lightly rub the Tooth Pick on a piece of paper and roll the Tooth Pick over what you need painted .
That is EXACTLY the method I was shown over 60 years ago for detail painting my model planes and cars ! It worked then , and it'll still work NOW !!!
I found that stamping the raised edges of the emblem like your doing works well but I found that if you use balsa wood sanded flat (1/4 inch in size to be held with tweezers), than dabbed with silver paint works well. great video u deserve the sub!!
Put a piece of scotch tape on the edge of the card so it doesn’t absorb the paint.
2:52 lol awesome vid very helpful
Awesome idea... Ed "One Team Garage" sent me over... Thanks for sharing this cool trick! I just subbed too.
Stop by and say Hay and a give a like... 😁

If you use a laminated business card and cut the correct width of the emblem to prevent pooling or runs on the edge of the card, you should get better control of your paint or chrome. Gotta keep going fast cause the chrome will just pull off first layer if you keep dabbing it for too long. And I find the chrome separates from metallics if you leave it on the card too long. Leaving more of a silver finish. Hope this helps.
Cool models 👍
I'll have to give it a try cool tip
Cool idea thanks for sharing I just subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Hey there. New subscriber here. Nice video and channel!
That looks pretty good. Great idea for making the emblems pop!
Pretty cool tip. I’ve never tried it that way before, but I might have to give it a shot in the future.
Great video! ✌🏽😎👍🏾 Hopefully Ophelia doesn’t float away. 😂
New subscriber here.......great video man
I'll have to give that a go. With the way some of the emblems are so light, you have to have a couple different methods in your toolbox. A less absorbent paper might work better?
I was gonna say scotch tape the edge of the index card. Paint won't soak in.
Glad it worked out for ya! Looks good!
Cool. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you. Excellent idea.
Hilarious back ground gal
Thats pretty clever..i like the taped edge idea,too..
Good tip. I'll have to try it.
That is an interesting technique Mr Wolowitz. I'm going to have to give this a try, You've been subbed
Seems like a cool idea. I think I'll try it on for size. I usually use BMF under the primer and paint and then carefully remove the paint from the scripts.
I just subbed ya.
Paused at :24 mind blown.. your weathering techniques are absolutely amazing… can’t wait to watch the rest of the video… I am excited… + just subscribed… where have you been all of me life.. love the work. Press pause… let’s go…
Thank you very much!
Clear tape under marker ink
Great tip
A thin piece of styrene might work better since the chrome liquid won't soak into it. Just a thought! Thanks because your video made me think.
How about trying a piece of styrene?
Use a piece of tape.. Take a piece of tape and wrap it around a toothpick and dab it on ..
Great video ha ha ha 😂
Cool idea thanks! Good luck with the toilet! 🤪
That is a great friken idea! Now go save your wife! Hahahahah
You can also use a rubber on a end of a pencil
Have you ever tried an eraser? Saw it on a video but haven't tried it yet myself
After I made this I was thinking of other ways. That's a good idea too. I might try that next time
Yes. I was thinking pencil eraser for more control.
That's look shithot bro
yikes
