OK, looks like I may have to give it a whirl. Maybe for my next project I will purchase the colors I need in MRP and see how I like it. I'll pick something that's paint-intensive, not NMF.

I have to say, you may find what Nick said true.......they really are quite amazing. Very use friendly. Just buy, shake, pour and spray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Ok grey is all down! Just letting it harden up a bit before unmasking things. Surprisingly, even though MRP is acrylic, its drying time is very short. Ive masked over things 20 min dry, and things seem very cured after just a few hours.

turbo Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Can't wait to see how it turns out Brian! 5 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: Thanks one and all. Like Nick pointed out, MRP sprays about as nice as any modeler could hope for. Anyone know how MRP performs with hairspray chipping? 5 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: The Silouhette has been a nearly indispensable tool, and I can think that if one can afford it, it's a tool that every modeler should have in their arsenal. I've definitely got my sights on a Cameo 4, just don't need it for my current build. Anyone else got experience with the Cameo 4? Apologies for the hijack questions Brian, please feel free to DM me unless others would like to know.

Out2gtcha Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 The grey (or gray if you prefer) is down. Flowed like a dream, and after a few coats it was opaque enough for the true color to come out, but thin enough to still see some of the black (or in this case green) basing: The top also turned out well, and hopefully will reduce the amount of paint ridge between all the colors. What at this point feels like hundreds of little Christmas presents to unwrap on the top......... The rudder is just setting on at this point to see how well things lined up On to opening some presents then!

It was such fun taking them all off one by one (not joking at all) and in the end, it was quite worth it, as the end result is a bit striking if I do say so myself! Pics in a bit.....

Out2gtcha Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I must say, this turned out about well as I could have hoped. Im really pleased with this one. Very striking.....sorta like a flying giraffe. Ta-da! I'll have the rest of it unmasked and the chipping complete tomorrow sometime. Cheers!

It is a railroad modeling site and the blog started in 2013 and runs 99 pages so will take a while to go through, but has a lot of tips on using the Studio software. Also check into the Silhouette School site: https://www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/ and its related YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SilhouetteSchool/videos for tutorials on using the Cameo. If you get the Cameo, I recommend upgrading to at least the Designer Edition for the additional tools available. See https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/software-and-download-cards/silhouette-studio for a comparison of each version.

Out2gtcha Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Thanks gents! Tom, I'm not sure about a masterpiece, but it is turning out to be cool so far. I'll be using some warm water to loosen the liquid mask and get the chipping done. From there I'll probably do washes, and some Tamiya weathering pallets.
