First timer

I have lurking around this part of the forum for a while and secretly collecting some equipment and materials to finally start painting my shells using an airbrush and liquid mask.

So today, when the S2 shell for my Vega arrived, I started off by cleaning and prepping it, and then added 3 layers of liquid mask. I have never used that before, so i am really anxious to see how this will work out.

After 3 layers dried with a hairdryer in between coats, I started thinking about paint shemes, and at the moment the shell looks like this:


I will build up the courage over the night to bring out the scalpel, and start cutting tomorrow, and hopefully starting to lay the layers of paint tomorrow night.

I really hope I dont end up ruining a perfectly good shell, but now that I started to show the work here, I will post pictures of the progress and result, so I feel the pressure already

Most of all, I would appreciate some feedback on my work, as I plan to do quite a few shells over the winter, so hopefully my skills will improve
