Nice work. I appreciate the step by step progression. Thanks for including it, since I really want to get an air brush and try it.

My pleasure.  I have more detailed photo steps of some others I'll try to post another time as well.

 

Hi,  Just beautiful work, from start to finish.  Did you some sort of masking as you layered the air brush paint?   .  And for sure, please post any steps, that would amazing to share. 

Hi JayEhl,

Yes, the masking is done with Duck brand yellow masking tape.  I lay the tape on gently and then using a modeling spoon tuck it into the tooling recesses.  Once the area that I want covered is all tucked I use an exacto knife and a super light touch to cut the tape to shape, exposing the areas to be painted.

 

Gotta show us how to "tuck" the tape

I just use a fine tipped modelling spoon (Peter Main's is the best) abd press the tape into the cut line.  That is all tucking it is.
