Amusing Hobby Abrams X finished with digital camo














This is the masks for some of the optics cut on my Cameo 4 using Washi masking sheets




Mask cut and applied for just the black.

Rinse and repeat for the brown followed by the overall green.


More pictures to come after weathering.

Job well done!
That camouflage turned out real nice and tidy :+1:

If I had done it I would not have been able to resist the temptation to add two more black squares …

Yes, I know, I have a twisted sense of humour …

Nice job! Can you talk thru your sequence and colors?

Thanks.
First design the masks, this is the masks for the baz plates for both the black and brown layers. Below are the ones for the hull front and rear.

  1. Prime with Mr Surfacer 1500
  2. Spray overall coat of black.
  3. Apply black masks.
  4. Spray overall brown.
  5. Apply brown masks.
  6. Apply overall green.
    Job done. It took over 5 hours not including the designing and the turret was treated the same way.
    The longest job was the following day taking each individual mask off!
