Mold lines in feathers and fur

[Fuseboy]

How the heck do you get mold lines out of finely textured areas, such as chainmail, feathers, and fur?

With a brand new X-Acto blade and lots of patience... Eventually a bit of GS if there\'s a problem...

Dental pick

Dental picks from tool bins or ask your dentist if they could save you an old one. They throw them out when we can still use it. (just be sure it has been sterilized first :flame lol

New #11 x-acto blade.

Lots of cussing.
Lots of time with the magnifiers on.

I use light weight hobby drill (one you can hold like a big marker pen) with engraving bits in it. You can get diamond tipped bits with really tiny engraving balls (0.5mm) and ones that taper to a point.

Aw right, Hex, give - where do you get these things? I have the same problem with mold lines on textured bases - last time I just left them. I mean on the sides of those stone-embosed hex bases I use.

When I can paint around them I do. Otherwise I eliminate them to the best of my ability and repair whatever damage I have done with putty.
