Back to the Future Part II Jeep model

Wow, thank you very much. Your tips are very insightful.

I think I'll go for the putty method as you mentioned, so that I can make the shapes accurate. :)

Thanks!

if you have a good airbrush i would freehand it with low pressure.

If not, masking of almost any type wll result in a sharp edge. I use a ton of Poster Putty (white is my prefernce from hobby lobby). Knead the crud out of it and get it good and hot, thats when it sticks best and can be molded to shape best, use that for a mask too.

Cool, Thanks for your help! :)

I've not really masked this type of pattern before, so this will be a challenge. Would you recommend any masking products for this project?

the colors appear fairly bright so i would try to avoid deeper militiary paint.

Tan or Sand looks to be your base color followed with olive and red- brown. The brown almost looks like Rust.

From seeing the one photo I would lean less towards camo and more towards tiger or zebra stripes in how to apply it.

also the driver appears to be wearing an AFV crewmans helmet repainted for the purpose.

not that Steve and Uncle George would repaint military surplus..nah.....

I'm using Acrylics, Tamiya & Gunze. :)

Thanks for your recommendations though. I really appreciate it. :)

Well, if your using Model Master enamels, that looks like Field Drab and Military Brown stripes over a Tan base to me.
