I've never seen a plastic wrap technique to do a camoflauge motif before.  Wow, that is fantastic, the final product is outstanding as always.

That looks really nice. And using the Clingfilm is a great idea, will save on a lot of masking tape.

Nice work, jezz. I never thought of using cling wrap for masking. I need to add that to my camo builds.
