Hi guys,

i bought me an airbrush last week and started to do some work as a question arose.
How do brush hard edges? As a (New) tau player my painting consists of painting edges...

How can I avoid getting paint into those little recesses which our army has lots of.

there are a lot of drones sitting on my desk waiting to be painted...

To paint them I just covered them in a black coat (grey primer first), then I applied white to the outer rim and
oversprayed the white rim with red. then I covered the middle of the disc in black again (where I messed up) with a normal brush.

Is there a more effective way to do this? Should I use masking film (but cutting it in an appropriate shape would take forever..)?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for those two threads. My mobile seems to love creating threads...

I am no expert and am just about to buy myself an airbrush but from what I know of there is a liquid mask from Vallejo you can paint on- be a lot quicker than cutting out masking tape- once you're done spraying the liquid mask simply peels off.
