Thanks guys. I’m starting to get the hang of working with Silly Putty as a masking agent. I do like the results here.

I’ve used blue poster tack a few times. They’re great but the trouble with those they tend to leave behind bits when pulling them off. Shoulda used Silly Putty that I had on hand. :bag:

That's looking excellent Carlos, I really like the tonal variations on the undersides!

Some good results with that Silly Putty Carlos. That reminds me, I need to run to Walmart and pick some more of that stuff up. Mine has paint in it from overusing them. lol

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

5 lb. block of Silly Putty?! :shocked: But seeing that it’s sold by Crayola makes me think it’s for Marines… :giggles: Probably with a big “DO NOT EAT” on the container… :rofl:

I wonder how many kits could be masked at once with that much Silly Putty! :hmm:

Beautiful camo! TGIF! I first saw our Duke of 1/72 use Silly Putty, now I see you put it to good use.
