Looking good Carlos and it's always nice to see good old Humbrol Enamels being used!

[Stikpusher]

Thanks Stuart. Now comes the fun part or masking for each color in the pattern... hello Silly Putty!

[Stikpusher]

Today’s progress update... I spent way more time masking with Silly Putty than I did airbrushing paint, stirring and thinning paint, and cleaning my airbrush... Man is that a task to use Silly Putty on such a pattern, I think that I need to buy another egg or two of the stuff...

Humbrol enamels:

First color, Matt Brown 186, which is supposed to be a good match for Earth Red FS 30117



Second Color, Matt Forest Green 150, which is supposed the match Forest Green FS 34127



I already know I’m gonna have to go back and do touch ups....

[LyleW]

Looking very good. You know you can get Silly Putty in five pound blocks?

[Stikpusher]

Thank you Lyle. I’m not that silly for Silly Putty...

Humbrol Enamels Rule! I have their Interior Green on the Ready Line for the Stang. Gotta love that realistic color depth. And roger that about needing another egg of putty. I gotta go and buy more from “Ahhs” in Westwood Village (if they are still open). Keep going; this is a great project!!

[Stikpusher]

Thanks Bruce! Yes, the pigments and coverage from the Humbrol enamels do make their use a real pleasure. But this project has definitely started me thinking on how to go about doing so when taking on some more of this type of scheme on larger subjects. It’s very mask material intensive.

Good luck on any outings for you over the next three weeks in the land of lockdowns.

Looking good Carlos don't think I ever seen a Jeep in this scheme.
