That's looks realy good  I like the effect but that's alot of work! Do you think it could be pulled off with paint pads Ie rubber foam cut into the correct shapes ? I know it will not give the subtle feathered edges nor will not work over busy parts of the model. I may give it a try as I don't have an airbrush but do like the effect! I know I need to go buy an airbrush! |

Not sure pads would work that well, would be difficult to get the edge. From a time perspective, If you were airbrushing a medium size force of tanks and walkers it is much quicker to mask and airbrush than it is to try and directly paint vehicles. The large surfaces are difficult to get a consistent paint coverage on. I think Airbrushing basically saves time and it is only my detailed masking that added more time to this job.

I had put off buying an airbrush for years because I live in an apartment with limited workspace. Now that I have one, I wish I had bought it years ago. It makes a huge difference, and painting is much more enjoyable.
Just make sure you get a compressor; the air cans are useless.

Also, that's basically the same way I did my camo on my Old Crow APCs. However, I cut the mask out of masking tape by hand instead of using a punch. I wish I had thought of using a punch.
I also can't imagine working with masks that small. I would end up stabbing myself out of frustration.

I stabbed myself anyway... But that was due to filming which gets in the way of careful blade usage.
