Re: [GZG] Painting tips?



I have seen it done once on a space shuttle model where they made a wire mesh shape and sprayed through it to get the look of the heat shield tiles.
GW did a similar article where they covered a tank in a mesh bag and sprayed that. the bag when removed left mesh panels of the under colour.


I tried the wire mesh idea but it didn't work because the model was too curved.

If you really want to do this you need to apply liquid masking agent to mark out the shape or cut the pieces of tape so that they stick flat to each surface.

You could use a compromise where you use flat tape panels over the easy parts of the model and then fill in the lumpy parts with liquid masking compound.

Cut shapes out on a 3x5 card and hold it over the figure and paint it template style.
