Building Scale Models: Part 2- Decaling Page 1/2

Description

This is part two of my series about how to build scale models (for art purposes). I want to cover how to apply water-slide decals in this section. That can get pretty complicated, so I'll just stick to the basics.

Part 1 of the comic series deals with the basics of building snap-together models:
Building Scale Models: Guide Cover

You'll also notice that there's a new character giving instructions for this part. I want each part to have a different character giving instructions, as that's a useful bit of practice as well.

I need to practice drawing comic pages, and I've been trying to draw a page a week for that practice. I figured that this time I'd draw an instructional comic. In this case, I want to teach a bit about how to build scale models. I think models can be quite useful for an artist, but building them does require a few skills and tools. I hope that this little series can help explain what is needed and how you can build models. This isn't about building contest winners, but rather how to build models you'd find use for in your art.

Oh God,how I used to build kits-my favorate was the F-4E Phantom. Decals was easy-but for painting clear canopies/windows,I used electrician's tape to cover areas NOT to painted,and used scisors on pieces of electrician's tape to do the three top to medium sides of Vietnam era F-4s.  

Thanks and great work.
