http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lIf the issue is
that the mask doesn't contact the model cleanly, so that the
paint is allowed to spread outwards and lose definition of the edge
line,
then you should use a material that conforms to the surface a little
better
- perhaps thin sheets of neoprene or other foam that can be pressed more
tightly to the model surface, but still have enough give that small
fiddly
bits don't keep the mask off the surface.

You'd need to check that the foam doesn't melt with the paints that you
are
using, but if you're using acrylics, it should be ok.

I don't know of a good source of such foam, but think that small
children's
foam shapes or thin foam used for padding floors might be appropriate.
