ok i just finally finished putting the shovel.axe.and other tools along with the two drivers up front and the other misc. small parts on the body of my first sherman build.should i have painted it first??? now i stopped building incase i have to somehow mask off these parts to spray, any ideas or help, i finally weathered and filtered my leopard that i thought i destroyed and it looks all right, now i dont want to end up crying after i try to add paint to this sherman so i will pause the build and sleep on it till morning. thanks for any help

Terry,
The tools can be easily hand painted once you have sprayed the whole thing, but I think it might be best to remove your figures and paint them separately then add lastly.
When doing your detail painting make sure to have the right consistency for your paint and the best brush that you can find with a nice tip. This will make all the difference. Good luck. Cheers.

thank you
