Did you mask the lines off for the camouflage or just hand paint them?

Each bit is masked, bit of a performance but I can check the pattern before applying paint. I'm using Tamiya masking paper, it's sheets of masking tape stuck to paper so you can draw on it, cut it with scissors then offer it up to the hull/superstructure without it sticking to the plastic.Then it peels off the paper quite easily. It's all done more or less by eye using a picture as reference. You can chuck it away if you get it wrong and no harm is done. I'll try to remember to bring some to the next meeting.

Hi Haddock,

Me too, where did you get it?

[Haddock]

Little cars. I've got plenty if you are in dire need, you get 5 or 6 sheets in a pack. Not long to Huddersfield though.

With pleasure. Bear in mind that he may not have any with him on the day but I have plenty, the sheets are a bit smaller than A4.
