lovely like always! too bad about your masking problems chuck!
maybe you create a mask out of thin cardboard, strengthened with some ca glue so that the edges would be smooth?

Sounds good to me, not sure why the reverse mask didn't work unless it's spraying white over black that just don't work.
If you're getting leakage seal that mask with some future or the base color before spraying the second color.

Hiya Fritzi Chuk
It looks pretty good to me, but that aint sayin much :pinch: .
I will chime in though with the rest of the Combat Wombat gang and offer my bestest oldest trick for the masking mess.
First take an old plastic type grocery bag. using a hole punch or similar device cut a small round hole in the plastic. Then place the tip of the spinner in the hole, and slowly push it through until you reach the desired depth. The plastic is very thin to start with, and gets even thinner as it stretches to take the body of the spinner. It is usually sufficiently tight that it doesn't need to be taped down or anything so long as you are ready to paint right away. If you practice a couple of times, it gets pretty easy. Then when the paint dries just slip the plastic off, and you should have a very fine demarcation. Just be careful if you are using paints that have a lacquer base, as it may make a mess of the plastic baghmy:

all those kewl tools! See what can be done with the right tools and talent.
Hanging out with this gang of tankers is affecting me- I can't stop adding more details! It's downright addictive, and hold you all to blame! Thanks, Kameraden- you're the best ground-pounders I know.
Construction moves forward- and masking begins! We make some things, and hope we're not making things up- right, Hauptmann Hannah?
