1. In this first photo I skipped the masking, layout, drawing and cutting. After that I went directly to the spraying the freehand airbrush part of the eagle |
 |
2. Freehand the black for eyes and beak detail and then add a little pink for the tongue and white highlights. Next add a little purple and gray to add depth to the painting. |
 |
3. Before unmasking add a white dot and white highlights, see how well you've done and if you're satisfied....... |
|
4. go to freehand highlighting the details of the eyes and beak. I do this by using black basecoat thinned only with retarder as my paint. Do not thin unless necessary and sparingly if you do. |
 |
5. Let dry for 30 minutes and remask. Then cut the mask in the shape
of an unfurled banner. It's hard to see in this photo. (look at last photo, no.8) |
 |
6. Spray a bright red orange color for the banner and get ready for some more freehand painting. If you can't do it freehand.......try anyway. |
 |
7. Spray orange letters then highlight with a little white. Also spray a little orange for the depth of the banner and use a brown for the shadowing as in the photo. (It's a little out of focus but you can still get the idea.) |
 |
8. This is the finished eagle before clearcoating. |

9. THIS IS IT! THE FINISHED TANK I HOPE YOU'LL HAVE AS MUCH FUN DOING THIS AS I DID! |
