Not sure if anyone has seen this?

Looks interesting, the putty could have its uses

I seem to recall Rob was looking into paint masks.........

The problem with masks is when you use them over irregular surfaces and delicate PE structures

Need some stronger glue then fella

I understand the issues with using them and to be honest I don't think I would have the patience for them, but thought others might

Agree that they have their uses - but also their limitations. I think stuff like silly putty is a better option - or free hand?

Great Avatar Vlad

The Mxepression guidance is to NOT have a break in the camo pattern over a delicate PE item and to mask them separately with a tape tent.
Otherwise just hand paint the camo over the little delicate bits if it can't be avoided.

They do use the ""panzer putty""" but it doesn't seem to be a real pattern, but I guess it will be useful as an alternative to blue tack, but it quite expensive at £15 a tube, blue tack is usually somewhere in the £1 shop for the usual quid a pop.

I am currently investigating Air Brushing camo patterns and such like,as I am still not 100% happy with my Pz IV D olive over yellow camo pattern, there seems to be too much "splatter" for want of a better phrase.

Hi Vlad

I have this Product. Used it once. It's expensive and I'm not certain that it offers any advantage over " Silly Putty".
My SWS was masked using this. Any putty will pull off small PE parts. Need to add them after
