Armor marking stencils

There in is another problem I had. I used tamiya tape to "try" and hold it down. The tamiya tape was backed up by good old 3m blue masking tape. I only used the tamiya tape to 'hold' the stencil in place. I taped it on four sides as close to the image as I could. I tried not to let the masking tape pull the stencil down around a bend and raise the one I was using. It slipped a bit and was off centre and turned a bit too.  The 3m blue masking tape should be strong enough though.

Hey mortar, Not the first one with this problem. What I have found is most likely the metal is not flat on the model. Make sure it is down securely. Next don't try to paint the emblem in one shot. You should try several light coats 2-4 and build the color slowly (especially white) A soft edge will almost allways be there to some extent though. A couple of washes and some weathering and any minor flaws will disapear and help it look more natural. (well it worked for me anyways).
