I work in my basement so it's cool all the time. It takes an hour to really flatten or start to run but that means I might have to mask part of it then paint right away, then do another area and so on. Sounds like it could be a pain.

With mine I just lay it out ..mask with it as ya do and once painted I just leave it sitting on a plastic tray.
Then this stuff can drip all it wants too.
I normally only spray once a day ..occasionally twice so it's never any real problem.
Once bone dry ..I then just remove it all ..bingo bango

I can't wait to get on with this but it's Labor Day weekend and my wife has a whole lineup of things to do. At least some of it involves our granddaughter so that's a benny.

I assume that's why it's called "Labour Day Weekend" ?

Maybe I can get something done tomorrow. Spouse will be busy all day so no excuse there. I need a plan B if this putty doesn't work out. I've noticed if I leave it on too long it's difficult to remove completely. I do have plenty of masking tape but that will be difficult over uneven surfaces. And there is lots of that.
Any suggestions for a protective clear coat when I'm done that won't change the paint color?

I've been using Ammos flat or super flat clear coats Ken ...the colours don't seem to change at all when it's dry and that don't take long at all .
One I've definitely got to get more of is Vic Hobby flat varnish..this stuff is brilliant..super flat and very easy to spray

I got the second color on today. I'm stoked! It really came out nice. I used masking tape on the armor skirts and silly putty on the vehicle. I only had a couple of spots where the paint didn't separate quite right when I pulled the silly putty off and left a little ridge or a couple of flakes behind. A touch with the hobby knife fixed that.











I have to find some light green to finish this job. I tried brush painting olive drab in place of it and it just didn't look right. Something about airbrushing makes brush work stand out like a sore thumb. I have to not rush and get it right.

Awright! Coming along well.

Damn that did turn out great 👍 👌 👏
Better and better every time I see it 😁

[Jakko]

Not too shabby

[Old Wombat]

Absolutely take your time to do it right, mate, because the finish you've got is excellent, as are the colours!

[NARSES2]

Really does look " the business", particularly like the colours

I'm anxious to install the tracks, road wheels and armor skirts. Finishing touch will be the guns, RWS and antennas. Then we will have the full effect.

Even more to like about this build

I've ordered paint from True North. They are recreating the Model Master line so this should cooperate with the first two colors. I'll pass on any more organic chemistry catastrophes.
