Aim High 8892 Posted January 3, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2019 this is my first build and i'm trying to figure out the best way to paint the triangles on the mayflower.....I have a airbrush and i'm thinking of taping off the area and then painting it all yellow and taping it off in small triangles.....but what is the best way to tape off the triangles? Thanks. GW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted January 3, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2019 A lot of kits of such ships as the Golden Hind, Revenge, etc. have similar hull decorations. They tend to use thin printed card, which doesn't look 100% great, but its not too bad either. So perhaps you could print your own and see how that goes?

Jolley Roger Posted January 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted January 3, 2019 I used Tamiya masking tape to tape of the triangles on my Mayflower. Quote Samuel Pepys notes in his diary on 19 July 1667: "the Dutch fleets being in so many places, that Sir W. Batten at table cried, By God,says he, I think the Devil shits Dutchmen."

wefalck Posted January 3, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 3, 2019 Another option would be to first spray-paint the respective area in yellow and then spray-paint a strip of plain water slide-transfers in green, cut this into triangles and apply these over the yellow area. Depending on how the respective board fits in constructionally, it may be a good idea to do the painting, by whatever method, before the board goes on - easier to mask off and, if something goes wrong, it is easier to repair off the model. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
