I had some spray masks off ebay for the tribal sides and under tray all the rest of the masking i used 4mm fine line tape. I did try some liquid mask but it would not cut nice, so i gave up with it.

Thanks for that mike, theres a few mistakes i made but i suppose thats where you learn from. I am a spray painter by trade but one thing is painting road and rail vehicles but compared to using a small air brush to paint intricate work is a totally differnt ball game.

Looks great.. i suppose it isnt your first paintjob

i would prefer a bit simplier, like not make all your ideas on one small shell, stylish = win

10/10 tho
