Since I am headed into luft46 land, why not use some silly string camo?

Sprayed on the darker topcoat, and removed the string:

Not in my most twisted dreams!!! :wub: :lol:

And to make lines of different thickness, how about using some fettucchinni or linguini, or different shapes of semi-cooked pasta? :o

Edible models!!

triple Thumbs up!!!

Sphagetti is actually a good idea, you could get it boiled and wet, then drape it over the kit, let it dry overnight, and spray. Good ideas!  (don't you just love breaking new ground? -unless this has been tried before?)

I´ve tried it before.....with meatballs and Napolitan sauce!!!!  Add grated Parmigiano, and...

Great looking bird there, Greg!!!

That brownish shadowing along the phantom lines gives it depth. Are you going to put something else, color-wise?

Is this what JHM means when he goes on about knitting needles? ;D

You never cease to amaze me Greg! As if this project wasn't incredible enough, your innovative camo paintjob totally takes it to the next level! It's always a delight to see what you've been working on!

Sir, brilliant.

I have spent some time with that kit and I went out of my mind with trying to make her work. You have done a fantastic job. Much applause.

Wasn't too sure about your silly string camouflage, but the end result is seriously impressive  -_-
