themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 You did a good job on the grey but I think the black lines look a bit messy on all bar the first image. Maybe use a thinner, but longer, brush. The thin keeps the line width down and a longer bristle will hold more paint between reloads so you can get more of a stroke. 1 Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 This is all constructive and we want you to look your best so please take no offense. Chris made some good points. You do have a couple options. First is to start over if you are up for that. Second is to try to clean the OUTER edge of the black as uniform as you can. Then work onto the black with gray until you have reached the pinstripe that the tears and traps should have outlining them. If you do start over, Like Chris said, a thin, long bristled brush will help you maintain the thin outline. It will take practice so make some straight and curved lines on some scrap plastic and practice there. Once you get the feel, you will get to the results you desire. 1 Quote
