Guys, thank you, I'm never sure how my designs are going to be received so it's cool that I'm doing different stuff and it's liked !

@Lip - I don't count how many hours really. The planning and working the masks out is the longest part, by comparison the painting is quite quick. Now I have done it once A 2nd one will be easier. That said it was a bit tricky to spray with all the different fades and trying to keep it clean as I did it all with film not liquid mask !

@LRP - I use a transparent grey mask called "Paint Mask" or it might be "Premium Paint Mask", but I buy it in 50M rolls ( about a metre and a half for this one and about four metres the for SCT for RC Lazy, so I get through it ), you should try frisk film from Everything Airbrush CLICKY However my style is quite graphical and I prefer to work this way if I can, having used both I do think the Liquid Mask that Jon sells offers a lot of advantages as it covers all those tricky to mask area's, it gets in everywhere, you don't get blow throughs so I'd still say that's the best way to go if you're doing bigger chunkier stuff, it's just easier and quicker ! I guess if I'd done this in that way I'd have spent as long cutting it out as I did trying to get the film to lay across all the surfaces, swings and roundabouts.

@badger5 - Glad you like it fella, will email you those other pictures I got of it. Bring on the next one
