The central to brush painting, as in airbrushing, is to sparse your pigment. I don't mitt brush camo but a ratio of three parts pigment and one part thinner should give you practiced, streak free results. As well , you need fairly quick brush strokes as well.

What kind of mask do you use for the camo pattern?

Y'all don't use a mask. Basically, yous employ the base colour and wait for it to dry out. And then yous draw the camo pattern witha pencil and re-trace it with your paint castor using the side by side colour. Later on that you fill in between the lines.

Don't forget to start with light colors as a base of operations. Paint the darker ones subsequently.

Masking with handpainting would be a disaster. Just eyeball the camo pattern and hurting it with a fine tipped paintbrush.

QUOTE: Masking with handpainting would be a disaster.

Why? I used to do it all the time years ago. Earlier I got an airbrush and needed a expert, even demarcation between two colors, for example the modify in color on the side of a car model, I ofttimes masked areas. (Well, absolutely for something like the side of a machine I would take used rattle cans simply you get the idea)

The masking tape sold in places similar Lowes and Domicile Depot are is normally for employ when painting inside houses. Handy for masking things like window casements or low-cal fixtures when painting walls and ceilings. How many people use a spray gun when painting like that? Nearly of them utilise a brush or roller.

^I call back he meant masking the camo then paintbrushing information technology. I myself utilise Tamiya tape to split colors on my models, just I am at a loss if I tin employ the aforementioned method for camo.

For hard-edged camo, in that location's no reason why you cannot mask, particulary with Tamiya tape which I call up is overall the best as far a sealing and peeling without lifting paint is concerned. The real play tricks is to avoid flooding the record edges with paint, otherwise you run the risk of serious paint leakage and thus having Tankmaster'south disaster.

^ Question: If Ido use Tamiya tape, how do I get the curved shape? Record it on first, piece the shape into the tape using a knife? Or slice the tape first, and so tape it on?

Put the tape onto a non stick surface, such as formica or a self-healing mat and cut the record starting time with an Xacto knife. Depending on what you are doing, it may exist helpful to do some trial-and-error piece of work with a newspaper template to run into what the best bend shape is, then use the template to transfer the basic shape to the record.
