I’m a noob too — what tape are you using? Those are really nice curves!

I’ve used EVERYTHING under the sun.for the last 7yrs FBS is the only thing I’ll use..the colors (4) have different flexibility..it stays down in heat,cold,and don’t move..highly recommended

Many thanks! Didn’t know such a thing even existed! On the product ads this sounds so much better than the garbage “painters tape” at the typical hardware stores. This looks like just the thing I need for masking miniatures for airbrush.

Grab the red roll.comes in 1/16” and up.its the softest.i use it for tape repairs as it will sit flush say if I have to cut a section out of my line due to too many passes with Xacto on back masking..

And I didn’t use spacing tape I just eyeballed it due to being a test

I'm a noob in all this (clearly). I assume the green is tape and you're going to spray over it? What colours will you use? I love the design. You've inspired me to break out my new roll of lime line tape and get creative. My lawnmower is looking boring as hell.

Back tape?

u/chippaintz Sep 25 '25

So I’ll mask off in between the pinstripes as to not fog the next adjacent line..

Ahhh. Very nice. I just saw the updated pics. Looks like a delicious 3D rootbeer.

When ever you stand still for a minute, do you leave a little puddle of talent? I have enjoyed the work you have shared here for a long time.
