How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)

Before you spray anything, make sure your area is clear of dust. I actually use my airbrush to blow the booth clear and then go over the bits to be painted. Next I apply any masking required, the best I have used is the Tamiya modellers tape, or the frog tape from any good DIY store. TOP TIP: if you find your tape is too tacky, stick it to your clothes (jeans are best) and then use it.
Next I mount everything I can onto some form of handle so that I don’t have to touch the model. It’s a bit of a faff but you get the benefits of not spraying too much on one area, or missing bits. The mounts are many and varied, including some very old GW paint pots (that still have paint in them).
