After that, two coats for the lines. Finally, a touch-up coat of the base color to straighten everything out. It takes a while, but it came out cleaner than I was expecting. The same basic process for the tiger stripes. I don't worry if my stripes aren't perfect when I apply them. They get their shape during the last step when I reapply the base color to define them. Does that make sense?
OB
Yes, it does—I do that for a lot of my fine-tuning. We are on the same page.
...buuut, with such thin, long stripes, I would consider going Ian’s route: painting all yellow, then putting thin tape over the top to mimic the striping, then paint green over the top. When dry, pull away tape to reveal yellow stripes. He also airbrushes, which I haven’t gotten in to, but he now swears by it. If you haven’t seen his versions recently posted, take a look!
Anyway, what you did obviously works and looks stellar! I just wonder if WE work harder than WE have to... ;)
