OK guys…I started with applying the Terra Cotta paint on my Stryker MGS to the driver’s hatch. This is my first time trying it so I thought I’d start small. If I didn’t like how it turned out I could strip it off and try again.
The first picture is of the hatch fully masked. I tried using my punch set to cut circles to mask off the bolt heads. This didn’t work worth a bit so I just cut small pieces of 1/8" art tape.

The second one is after the Terra Cotta paint went on. I let it set for about 15 minutes before removing the masking.

The last one is after the masking was removed and the front grab handle re-attached!

Tomorrow I’m going to start masking the hull. Shouldn’t take more than a couple days or so. [H]
I’m going to make a PowerPoint presentation for an model club meeting after the first of the year. If anyone is interested in it shoot me a message directly and I’ll be glad to email you a copy once it’s done.
