About product

HG Height Gauge EX, a Master Tools height scriber

A precise modeling gauge from the Master Tools tool line. It is neither a kit nor an accessory to a model but a bench tool: you stand the part on a flat board, set the height you want on the gauge and trace a line around the whole part with the point, a line that is the same height above the surface along its whole run. By hand, by eye, an even line like that is practically impossible to make on a curved hull.

Use

  • Waterlines and draft marks on ship hulls, including the color division along the side.
  • The division between the upper and the lower color on aircraft and vehicles, where the transition is meant to keep a constant height.
  • Marks for the same height of openings, handles or grab rails on both sides of a model.
  • Checking whether a finished assembly sits crooked: the point traces both sides and the difference shows at once.
  • Scribing cuts on plastic profiles and accessory material before cutting.

Who the tool is for

For ship modelers, who face the waterline on every hull, and generally for anyone who masks color divisions and wants them at the same height all the way round. It pays off above all for someone who builds regularly, because it is bench equipment for years rather than a one-off accessory for a single box.

How to work with it

Work on a flat and firm surface, ideally on a glass or metal board, because a soft cutting mat will distort the result. Lead the point lightly and rather several times than once with force: an engraved line can be deepened, but a scratch beside it can only be sanded away. Once scribed, the line works excellently as a stop for masking tape. Note down the recommended height setting for repeated projects, as it will save time with the next box.

The scribing point is sharp, so protect your fingers while working and store the tool out of the reach of children. Wipe the point dry after use, so that it does not corrode.

FAQ

It is a tool for the modeling bench. Nothing is built from it and nothing is glued to a model; it serves for scribing and marking parts.

For scribing the waterline on a ship hull and for marking the division between the upper and the lower color on aircraft and vehicles. Thanks to it the line is the same height above the surface all the way round.

Check the measuring range and the material on the box of the tool.

Yes, that is exactly why the tool came about. The part is turned against a firmly set point, so the height of the line stays constant even on the curves of a hull.
