Adding Color…
Making it more screen accurate…
The Tank Topper needs to get some detail paint work…
I used a small brush to paint the red.
Then, applied a second coat of red…
And, then a third coat of red. The red is nice and intense now.
Then, I used some black to clean up where the red got up on the sides of the little “trench”.
For the white disc, I’m going to try using masking tape and a paint marker. First, I drew the circle onto the tape…
Then I cut the circle out with an exacto…
Removal of the circle…
The mask was then placed into the correct position on the tank topper.
The paint marker…
I applied some white…
After a few more coats of white, I removed the mask. It’s not perfect, but I think I should be able to clean it up…
After a little bit of cleaning up. That looks like it should do.
