Masking with Vegemite!
A situation arose where I needed to mask areas of the forearm to spray dark grey. I thought about using Tamiya tape, but because of the complexity of the area I thought Vegemite may work as a more flexible masking agent in such an area.
To do this I added a little water to make the Vegemite a little more fluid than it normally is, then painted it on by brush. Any areas that I accidentally touched with the Vegemite that I didn't want to be masked I removed with a wet brush. The whole process was remarkably easy to control. I have used Vegemite on many occasions before with good results.
With all the necessary areas masked I applied Blu-Tack to cover the rest of the shape.
I then sprayed the dark grey Vallejo paint.
Then removed the Blu-Tack.
Tomorrow I will wash off the Vegemite with warm water using a soft brush. Stay tuned!

White Glint continues........
I had to put the White Glint aside for a while so I could work on an aircraft illustration job that came along, and with that completed and out of the way I can now go back to the White Glint model.
Haven't done too much new, just added some decals, both kit and those I deemed appropriate from the spares box.
