Hit the hammer on the nail, NOT the Thumb..... Hit the hammer on the nail, NOT the Thumb.....Hit the hammer on the nail, NOT the Thumb..... Thankfully you didn't break anything. So take two fifths every 4 hours for discomfort and Don't call me in the morning. Besides look on the bright side. At least you didn't strike your middle finger. Get better soon my Mon Ami. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Now, I need to improve my technique.... First coat with a flat brush.... On we go... If it go well, it will save a lot of masking tape..... Now, in doing so, I felt myself like an old japanese man painting kanas... So, it is relaxing... You're right..... Sincerely. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozy CC Yes of course, that is how I do mine, no masking needed at all. Although I use enamels and use them neat to do the fuzzy demarcation lines and then thin them a bit to fill between them. To do the demarcation lines, get a small amount of paint on the brush and paint just inside of where you want the demarcation line to be and once you have done a line around and inch long or 25 mm in new money, you then go back to the start and scrub the brush along the outer edge of the line and work along the line you have just laid down and you will eventually achieve a fuzzy line with practise. I don't know how acrylics behave though CC. Hope that helps Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Adrian PS gotta love a Mk2. Nice!! Thanks Adrian, that is interesting, I had always had a bad experience with acrylics and didn't realise that you could get a decent fuzzy edge. What it also reminded me of was the brush I use too, I use an old brush which is hardened with paint residue about two thirds of the way down and so when you are scrubbing along the paint for the demarcation lines it doesn't stray too far and keeps the line quite tight.

corsaircorp Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hello Gents, Well I think it's not too bad.... But I forgot the leading edge yellow bands..... Therefore, on we go for more maskings..... Have a great modelling week end.... Stay safe !! CC 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
