Nice work! What's the trick to getting such clean, sharp borders on your strips? I am always fighting paint bleeding under masking tape.

Patrick Sedney
Thanks Dennis.
I use a glass panel from a picture frame as a cutting matt for the masking tape. Cutting on such a hard surface make the edge perfectly sharp. Then, I put the tape on the surface and rub the edge with the side of a toothpick as much as possible.
When painting, first apply thin coats instead of thicker ones. After a couple of light coats, it should be safe to load a little bit more

Looking good.. I have this kit also... Will get at it eventually...

Patrick Sedney
Thank you mate.
Just be patient. The kit's a nightmare. Sanding and filling at its best 🙂
