[WWI] masking problems

[Andy Bannister]

Yes, don't brush paint! Git yerself an airbrush man!! Seriously though, try removing the tape as soon as you finish painting (while the paint is still slightly soft) and it may lessen the ridge effect. I also usually lightly sand the edge with worn 600 grit paper after the paint is fully dry and it will knock off most of the ridge.

> I'm having problems with my masking technique though, I have tried tamiya masking tape, post-its, and eduard ez masks but I just can't seem to avoid a raised "ridge" between the 2 colors when I pull the tape away. Can anyone suggest a good technique for avoiding this (I brush paint by the way) and the best way to deal with it when it happens.
