Digital Camo

Well my airbrush rocks.  Its a dual action internal mix, gravity feed, special right off of ebay.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do the camo...and I have figured out that I need to do a REVERSE mask.  Cut out the shapes and then use the tape with the holes in it to make the shape.

Tricks of the trade are as follows
1) GET A NICE KNIFE AND CUT NICE LINES...no need to rush it (even though I do....sigh).
2) Make sure you PUSH DOWN THE TAPE TO MAKE IT FLAT....dont want over spray getting through.
3) lower the PSI of your compressor...to much paint and it runs.

I am by no means an expert and I still have a ways to go, but the first shapes of the lighter color are applied.
Still have lots to add from this color but I thought I would show a progress shot.
