So the Tieren’s looking pretty much done I think, I’ve completed the camo, painted the battle damage/weathering and a few panel lines. I think it looks pretty good, but I know I can do better. I have some water slide decals I was going to put on, but I’m not sure if that would just ruin it now, and I should just move on to the MG Geara Doga. I…[Read more]
Thanks! My last kit I went a bit too hard with the weathering, so I tried to make it a little more subtle this time, only with physical battle damage too 🙂

What was going wrong with the masking tape?
Silly putty is actually a pretty good, pretty simple method for applying traditional (i.e. not digital) forms of camo, so you might try that.

Come to think of it, it might have been because I was trying to paint a light colour over the top of a dark colour. I might re-do it going light to dark, I haven’t had issues with masking tape before.
