Bored Masking…
February 9, 2012 in General, Stormlord (2012)
The last week has seen a surprising amount of progress on the Stormlord. Most of the hull has had it’s hull colour airbrushed on and I’ve spent two whole evenings sticking on tiny pieces of masking tape so that I can touch up some areas that need to be black (ready for metallics) and the strips on the hull that need to be done red. I find that masking off is one of the most infuriating tasks when doing any airbrushing. Do it poorly and you’ll completely mess up your model, it takes ages to get it “just right” and ultimately you’ll just rip the tape off again! However without it you’d never achieve the crisp neat edges that people associate with a good paint job.
