Progressing well, John. Great masking work on the stripes.

Top camo started
This morning the first color of the top side camouflage was applied, dark green. Vallejo 71.324.

Masking done with patafix and masking tape.
Unfortunately one of the cannons did not survive the masking process.
1. ouch
And Ocean grey is painted as well.
Also the cannon is back on its place.
1. back on
Once the paint has dryed it is time to carefully remove the masks, a nerve wracking process.

Great masking and painting! What type of this white putty did you use? PS. If I broke sth usually I have furious attack 😉
John vd Biggelaar said 3 years ago:

@fiveten, thanks my friend
@lis, thanks. Vallejo plastic putty is what I use most for smaller corrections.

Camo done
Masking has been removed and thankfully no paint came off.
Some minor touchups to be done before clearcoat will be applied.

Nice job on the camo, John (@johnb). I have never used putty to mark out the camo, but the great job you have done with it has convinced me I need to give it a try.
John vd Biggelaar said 3 years ago:

@gblair, Thanks George, the putty was not used for marking out the camo. Reading back I seem to have misunderstood the question of Lis @lis. The white stuff used for outlining the camouflage is patafix.
George R Blair Jr said 3 years ago:

Thanks, John (@johnb). I wasn't clear, either, I was using the word "putty" for "patafix". I use the term "camo putty" for anything you can roll into long strips and mark out the camo edges.

Nice paintwork, @johnb!
