Re: Foamy Painting Thread

Very nice job but i have a question ... does the paint increase the weight of the foamy?

Yep. Anything added is going to add weight. It's not enough to worry about though.

Re: Foamy Painting Thread

Thanks for all the comments. Some of the one's pictured are from a couple years ago. not the best. I have gone through enough foamies to get a little better. Every plane pictured was painted with just using depron as a template or mask. I will be doing a couple more once the hobby shop gets some more depron in. My next one I will show how to do checkers.

I am also working on a video to post here. It will show how to set up the airbrush, how to adjust it and some clips from painting this plane. It will be a couple of weeks for the video though.

I am picking the plane up from Craig tonight.
It should be RTF in the next day or two.

Just setting it up like I do with all the foamies..
Lots of throw and lots of expo to keep it smooth when not 3D'ing.
