MicroMark Liquid Mask and Command Squad WIP




Stream of Painting Begins:

I noticed an unattached but painted powersword abandoned in the forgotten painting region of my desk.

Which lead to:

That looks pretty good, too bad there is no body attached to it. Let's attach it to a body.

Which lead to:

The body looks like some kind of officer. Let's add a command squad. Better add a nuncio-vox operator for no apparent reason. Now there is a Nuncio Vox, I better a

Which lead to:

Oops, I used a crux on one of the random dudes. Now I need to paint hist helmet white.

Which lead to:

Now that I have to paint white, why not paint the helmets of that old veteran squad I've also had lingering in the forgotten painting wasteland.

Which Lead me to this:

Hopefully that blue goo protects those nicely airbrushed heads and shoulder guards. hopefully the goo comes off! I'll let you know tomorrow.

  1. Use a toothpick and it will. Let it dry for a bit. Oh and FYI do not use it on straight primer..well the vallejo airbrushable primer. It will just straight up pull it off.

  2. Oh God, I've used that crap before! You wouldn't believe what it took to get it all off my minis. A pencil eraser that was cut to a fine point, a tooth pick, gently rubbing with my finger & even blue/ yellow tack to lift out the very sticky bits left in the hard to reach places. Micro mask is fairly tenacious stuff, especially in the fine grooves and details. It's great for masking exactly what you want, but getting it all off was a bloody chore. Best of luck!

  3. i've used it by myself(not exactly Micro Mask, but sone other latex masking liquid), realy nice and clean work, no need to worry about paint something not meant to be painted in that colour, but i've got a problem when i pull it off: at the very edge on surface that i've just painted and the one that've been covered with such liqiud there was a gap or some times paint strokes that have been paint over latex just ramain in place even thou i've removed latex taht've been underneath.
    Hope you've figured out what i've ment, 'couse it's hard to explane and better to understand when you've seen it once or twice ))
