Yo CPK, You probly won't be able to model anytime soon due to what is going on near your location. Hopefully you will be able to sort out your airbrush sitch. I have spells with my Aztek at times as well. It just needs a little TLC!!! Let us know if you need a new airbrush set-up and I'm sure we will all rally to the cause!!! Be safe out there. We need and support you guys (and gals) 1000%. You are our rocks. Keep it up. Hold it down brother. PTB Out! (Bosshog)

I would go with Illustrator! It is much easier to use when producing objects or artwork that need to be exact sizes, stroke weights, color build ups, horizontally and vericaly in line. Plus you can make your own custom color swatches and save them in the Color Palette (i.e FS #'s, both in spot color, CMYK, RGB, etc.) to use not only for gauges, but for custom decals. Not that I have made custom sheets yet, but I know plenty about pre-press. Also, you can output them (your decals or gauges) directly from Illustrator. No Quark Xpress, no Photoshop, nuthin---plus you will have vector based ar

Some inks are known as "fugitive inks". This means that the ink underneath layers of other inks, acrylics, or enamels shows thru all of the layers above it. Some Illustrators know about this technique. It's more of a "mixed media" approach. I once traced the SEA camo and wrote the paint color onto my primer grey A-10 as a guide for airbrushing with a sharpie. Let me just say it was not fun trying to get rid of it and will never so that again! DOH!!!!

I do the old "pull up the shirt collar above my nose" and have at! The camo-colored nose-gobblins are always a good time. I'll be looking into some sort of mask in the soon enough. I like having those brain cells! What's left of them anyways...

NICE ONE Leatherneck!!! That's a great use of your work equipment! Are you "Futuring" right there in the pic? I'm going to have to bite your technique of spaying everything all at once.
