Brush Painting A New Model
I haven't done this since 1976, when my 'old-fleet' Estes A20 Demon was brush painted with butyrate dope.
Currently on the workbench is a newly-built clone EAC Viper. It's been sitting around in primer for quite some time awaiting a painting day when the weather isn't so crappy.
With the onset of being stuck at home indoors now, I made the decision that I would try my hand at brush painting the bird.
So far, I have completed the booster rocket white base color and the purple nose.
This week, I have moved on to masking and applying the fin paint patterns.
Surprisingly, the brushed-on finish is turning out much better than anticipated.
In the near future, I will be writing up blog posts (linked below) describing whatever insights and pitfalls I have encountered with brush painting a model rocket.
Cheers!
