Nice Looking Paint Finish on Foamies

 Here's a couple of really nice foamy paint jobs over on RCG.

747pilot covered his EPP Skywalker with Krylon Shortcut.  He mentions "Dries fast. Full set up in a few hours. Just don't use any type of tape on it afterwards. Tape control surfaces or whatever prior.  You can find it mostly at Michaels crafts store."

 snoshoe62 covered this Bixler 2 with Minwax Polycrylic Gloss to get this finish.  I couldn't figure out what was underneath.

Neither posting has any mention of the weight of the paint.

Quick and Dirty Spray Booth

Friend and fellow Concord Model Engineer Warren Delane reports a clever idea for an outdoor spray booth:

Thanks to Richmond Sanitary, their paper-only recycling bin is perfect... The bin screens out breezes when I spray outdoors (you do spray out of your workshop, don't you?). There are indents that can support the wing tips of a 28" w/s model like this Sig 'Shoestring' C/L .15 class racer. Two coats of spray Gloss Lemon Rustoleum, $3.77 at Wal-Mart. Bought 'Shoestring' kit and engine at Alameda Swap Meet for only $20. Such a deal!"

Nice airbrushing

rcgroups maven hance has a nice way of airbrushing superflys.  Cut a template like this, move the two pieces apart, and you can use one piece as a mask for the other.  Check out the article, it's got two ideas for how to use this, with a bonus pic of the charming Mrs Hance!
