For the airbrushing I'll take you step by step on how to mark out your plane cutting your stencil and use of the stencil with stencil layering.

That would great. Im looking forward to it!

Just put it up name of thread is Airbrush start to finish

Heres my latest entry.

This was my son's.......

I am building the DW Yak and was wondering what you are using to hinge your control surfaces. It looks like you have actual hard point hinges and I would like to use something besides the tape.

For the Mid size one tape is more than enough, and DW provides it. the bigger one has a carbon rod that runs through several plywood hinges.Works very well ,but a bit heavy for a 38 inch foamy.

This scheme is borrowed from Troy Peterson.
OD F3P type model, 8mm EPP ( like painting sponge...)
Plastikote Fluro Orange / Marking pens / and a bit of Airbrush

Very cool! I LIKE IT!!!

Tony, looks great!! I am truly flattered and proud of your Tiger finish on the airframe.

wow, this is a sweet thread. I am impressed, you guys can paint! Here is a pic of my latest slofly. Hope you like it!

Nice slow fly AJ ,the flames almost have that true fire effect.

MikeC3D, your son did a good job! He should post it again after the complete build. Lets here how it flys. I have the same plane I think he'll be really happy with it.

Yeah Aj...A very True Fire /Ghost fire effect...your own masks used.....?looks real effective...

The number of foamy schemes out there never cease to amaze me. Lovin' those flames you got on there.

Here's my latest work of art. snap has already seen it

Thanks guys. Devcon, Ya, I just cut out a stencil from poster board. After seeing all these planes I was inspired to try another paint job. I was working on a slofly 22, made with black foam, so it was interesting to paint. I stole some of your idea's snap on how to make the checkers, hope you don't mind.

Not at all I flattered.
