paint/masking question
DocOutlands:
Ok, folks. I have a droid I am painting that has an abundance of molded-on detail. I need to mask off a recess where masking tape won't go. Will a blob of Elmer's glue suffice to mask it? What else works (better) for blocking off tiny crevices so you can hit the nearby area with a good solid run of paint?
Clonehead:
I have bought some liquid mask material that might work better than the glue but have never tried it. It came from a hobby heaven, as I recall. I will have to look and see if I can find it.
narceron:
I'm still gonna pimp silly putty here, but you might need to test it out, works for me, though.
DocOutlands:
For those of you who strip the existing detail paint - what products and methods do you use? I need to pull the brown off four Cmdr Faie figs so I can redetail them. I've never tried stripping details before, so I'm not sure what works best or worst.
Clonehead:
I haven't tried that. I just repaint them white and start from scratch. It may take three coats over the graphic area to hide those brown markings.
