Nice video bro... really like that. For chipping I tend to use the hairspray method. Gives me a much more control and you get this cool little effect of the paint edges lifting up along the damage. In any event you do some awesome work! Love watching your builds!

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent tip there

 

[Hagoth]

Nice technique. Man, I have sooo much to learn.

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks guys,.....I'll maybe make some more videos.....just need to find some more cheesy music

.....heres where I am with my build.....I bought some clear nozzles from a member of Starship Modeller years ago.....so I glued them together & masked the nozzle openings & gave it a blast of black primer...then the top coat








Thanks for looking
John
