When it comes to scale modelling, creating curves or spiral patterns on a model can add depth and visual interest. One technique used to achieve this is by utilising masking tape. Masking involves covering certain areas of the model to protect them from paint or other materials, allowing a modeller to create precise and controlled patterns. Let's have a look at the processes needed to achieve this:
By following these steps, a modeller can effectively mask their model to create curves or spiral patterns. Practice, patience and a meticulous approach will inevitably be rewarded by a visually impressive and realistic result.
