i’m going to be putting the hard-edged brown blotch camo scheme on my 1942 (43 wannabe) t-34. ie…
how would you recommend painting the hard edged brown blotches? easiest thing would be to just brush-paint it on but i’m afraid it’ll look worse than the underlying brown. what i’m thinking now is that instead of painting the model green, i should’ve painted it brown and then mask off the blotches and then paint green but it’s too late for that (i really don’t want to waste all that paint).
would you use cut up masking tape? liquid mask? something else i’m missing? i’m using gunze sangyo acrylic btw. all you camo experts, help me out
The preferred method appears to be Silly Putty of all things. Apparently it works very well, and doesn’t adhere like one would think or leave a residue. Good luck.
Whenever I do a hard edge camo pattern, I use Silly Putty. I’ve had good luck with it. Just Practice putting on something old for a couple of minutes. This will show you how it “acts”.
If you painted it green already, just mask/Silly Putty enough off and spray on the brown. If you want less brown mask off more green.[2c] Hope I made sense. Good luck.
I guess Tigerman and I were typing at the same time.[:)]
I went to the dollar store and found a bunch of cheap play-dough for this purpose.
