Really good  I know it's what we all aim for, but it's still a surprise to me when I see a face done that actually looks like who it's meant to be. Well done! |

Thanks for your comment, i think it looks a little like her and i agree its very hard to find kits that have the look of the actor.

what do you use to mask off the areas you do not wish to paint? Your masking skills are incredible, every time i do i always manage to get some paint sneak under the damn tape

I don't use tape it sometimes pulls up the paint it self and when its not sticky enough the paint creeps under it, i use Mould Builder liquid latex rubber the same stuff that rubber gloves and moulds are made of, i paint it on with an old cheap brush, you need to use at least 2 coats to protect your work and before you apply it you should spray a coat of dull on your figure it helps protect from any overspray if you missed a spot in applying the mould builder and it helps strengthen the acrylic paint so when you pull up the mask the paint won't go with it.

I just thought of something that might work to mask areas.
The Release Compound that I use when Fiberglass bedding Rifle stocks.
I haven't tried it with paint yet but if Epoxy resin won't touch it very few things could.
Its a thin blue liquid that goes on easily like paint and peels off without damaging stock finishes.
I should still have some laying around here somewhere.
I'll test it later and let you know.

That sounds like it should work but as you said test it first.

Yep! That's my girl. Nothing like an MP5K to get a guy's attention.

The two .45's seemed boring to me, sol I holstered one and added the HK I suppose I should add the extension on the visable 1911, odd in the game she carries .45 1911'a and in the movie has H&K USP-  |
