About product

The U-STAR helper ruler as a guide template

A helper ruler is a simple but often underrated aid. It is laid on the part and the scriber or the tip of the knife is drawn closely along its edge, so the line runs straight even where the hand alone would not keep it so. Without a template the scriber only holds its track once the line is deep enough, and it is exactly the first two strokes in which most stray grooves are made. The original name is a machine translation; this is a helper ruler for modeling work.

How the ruler is used

  • The ruler is laid on the part and held with a finger or fixed with a piece of masking tape so that it does not move.
  • The scriber rests against the edge of the ruler and is drawn towards you in repeated light strokes.
  • After a few strokes the ruler is removed and the line is finished with the scriber alone.
  • The edge of the ruler also serves to mark the track with a pencil before the scribing itself.

What to watch out for

The ruler has to lie flat over its whole area, otherwise the tip slips under the edge and the line splits in two. On rounded parts, where a full contact cannot be ensured, a flexible guide tape is safer. While working, press on the scriber only lightly; sideways pressure will shift even a well held ruler. Once finished it is worth checking the line under sharp light or under a thin coat of primer, where an unevenness shows up sooner than on bare plastic.

Who it is for

  • Modelers who scribe new panel lines and want them straight.
  • Builders who restore the original panel lines over large areas after filling.
  • Anyone who has so far made do with a bent piece of sheet metal or an office ruler.

FAQ

The scriber rests against its edge and runs straight even in the first strokes, when the line is still shallow and cannot guide the tip on its own.

The safest way is to hold it with a finger and add a piece of masking tape. A ruler that has shifted is the most common cause of a split line.

Not on pronounced curves, because it will not lie flat over its whole area. There a flexible guide tape that follows the shape of the line is more practical.

The manufacturer does not give them in the product designation. Check the dimensions and the material on the packaging.
