whats a good quick way of doing the dots on ambush cammo? was going to use a cotton bud, but the dots came out a little too big. am i going to have to paint them all by hand?
jeff

Paint by hand with airbrush or bristles every time. I like your idea with the cotton bud though, maybe a tool fashioned from felt would also work used as a stamp.

was thinking of that as well, but might turn out too uniform. dont really want to use the airbrush cos if i bugger it up i've ruined the whole job.

cheers eastern, i'll give that a go bud.

Hey Mate, I just used a paint brush to do mine , I 'll be interested to see how yours turn out.
Cheers Ken

going to experiment on a few things this morning then do the dots later on. hopefully have some pics up this weekend.
jeff

thats cool, do the dots caryy on on the horizontal surfaces ? or just on the vertical bits?
jeff

cheers bud, looks like its going to be a brush. my cotton buds have hollow plastic stems. wont be too bad though.
jeff

thats great, didn't realise there was a pattern to it. so the dots just stay fairly close to the margins of the paint. got it. time to get dotting. woo hoo
jeff
p.s only done mine with three colours, hope that doesnt offend anyone, didnt realise it was a four colour cammo.

bugger, made a school boy error. just gone to put the dots on and i realised i have fitted all the tools and cables first. bugger, and they are glued. oh well just have to be a bit carefull.
