Ghent Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I got the idea to just stencil a wolf for my Space Wolves, because my armor is painted gray. I didn't want to just have massive gray vehicles rolling around, so I cut out a stencil in some poster board and tried to spray paint (krylon plastic, $3 at Lowes) it on. The first coat didn't go so hot, so I just outlined the second layer with chaos black and touched it up with a brush. Here's my first attempt: http://40kdeathorglory.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/photo.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242275-attempted-stencil-on-rhino/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Did you tape down the stencil? If you did, I think it needs to be a smidge smaller... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242275-attempted-stencil-on-rhino/#findComment-2928796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfinger Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Frisket Paper is your friend....go to the art store and pick some up, it is cheap and will get rid of that unsightly overspray. That is how I did this little stencil; Ashton Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242275-attempted-stencil-on-rhino/#findComment-2929025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'll have to pick some up for my Speeder/Land Raider idea where I don't want to over spray. That would be nice too for the runes I want to paint on the Land Raider sponsons. I don't mind the slight red overspray on the Rhino, as I wanted it to be a bit bigger than the hatch and to "look" spray painted on, like my Space Wolves sprayed it on there.

Alpha PTP Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 It would look good if you went and spent the half an hour it would require to clean it up. Make sure to go and put black in the area's the black spray missed. I love doing stencil art, but I never tried it on my All Hallows Guard...

I'll be touching it up when I paint the rest of the Rhino. I'll throw up another picture when I'm done.

Ghent Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 So, I picked up some frisket paper as suggested and it worked significantly better than my previous try. It is a bitch to cut out, because of the size. Though, my exacto tip is busted off so that could be it. I also had a hard to getting it to stick down, but I'm sure that's because of the different surface levels. Here's the first try on a Razorback side: http://40kdeathorglory.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/photo-1-e1322071632385.jpeg I can clean up the overspray since I'm going back over around it with the grey on the left side will have red filled to the bottom and touch up some of the lighter spots. I had to leave a piece to hold the wolf outline in place. I'm just going to hand paint filling in the wolf Chaos Black. The art store I went to just had one kind of frisket paper, so I'm not sure if there are different kinds with strong adhesives.

ShinyRhino Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 There are varying strengths of frisket paper, and you want the kind commonly marked for airbrushing. You need a sharp knife to cut the film properly. Run back to the store and get a fresh pack of blades! The thing that's really killing your work is the spray paint. A spraycan has no control at all, and the thick/thin areas you're getting are what you end up with when using it. If you're set on using a spraypaint, spray small bursts from about 1-2' away. Let the paint settle and dry, then hit it again with another dusting, slowly building the color onto dried layers. you MUST let the prior layer dry before applying a second, or you'll get runny, blotchy paint.

vharing Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Is this frisket paper called that everywhere or is it a UK. I would like to get some of that stuff.

ShinyRhino Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Is this frisket paper called that everywhere or is it a UK. I would like to get some of that stuff. Same name everywhere. You can buy it all the large national craft store chains in the US in the airbrush supply section.

Ghent Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm in America, it was Frisket. The spray really is killing it. I think in the future I'm just going to tape it on there, then hand paint it. I'm not sure I'm ready to bust out for an airbrush just yet.
