Thanks!
Now that the dome is done, I'm finally able to start the top hull panel lines.
It was necessary to cover my white table with black paper so I could see my progress. You can see how misting white paint around objects that will later be glued in place helps in the placement of lines.
The most helpful tool I use for this is the small, 4" by 3" metal ruler. I put tape on it to keep it from sliding while scribing, which will ruin your day if it happens too many times.
There seems to be many more lines per square inch on the top hull than the bottom hull, even though there is less area to cover over all. What you see in the photo is several hours of work.
