I was all set to write this post a week of so ago, when I happened to be over at the Obscureco blog and noticed this post. I won’t say that great minds think alike, but I do think posting about one’s favorite modeling tools or techniques ought to be a big part of what a modeling blog ought to be about. I’ll admit that I had never heard of Chris’ Silver Sharpie technique before and it inspired me to go out and get one to try out.
I’ve recently been using on of my favorite modeling tools, Tamiya Masking Tape.
Tamiya Masking Tape
I’ve been using this a lot as I have been masking the hard edge paint scheme on the Hunter and masking the canopy. This stuff is great. Its biggest advantage is its thinness. It is much thinner that regular masking tape or 3M blue masking tape. IF you get some, get it in the dispenser, as that keeps fuzz off the edge of the tape prior to use. (HT to Chris at CRM in St. Louis)
Give this stuff a try and check back here in the future for further posts on my favorite modeling tools.
