almost finished ! collar and helmet insignia on the guy with the cigarette lighter ! Binos for Rommel and do his trouser stripes.

question: what's the best way to paint 2 red stripes 3mm wide on his pants ! Remember they're riding britches so masking tape may not be an option !

advice please !

Get a very sharp pencil and lightly draw your center line for the stripes. Then draw the outer lines the width you want. Sometimes I just do the centerline and just use brush width to judge. If you do the outer lines when you are finished painting just use an eraser and gently rub out any lines still visible! This idea also lets you make sure the initial line is right where you want it. I also use this method for setting up the camo patterns on my tanks. It lets you copy any pattern you want as close as possible.

CHEERS FOR THE TIP dg WILL TRY THAT TODAY !
