Holy cow—we’re back again, and we’re keeping the airbrush theme rolling. In this video I’m talking about a masking product Jay and I use constantly and sell a ton of in the shop: AK Camouflage Plastic Putty for airbrush. I honestly think of it like a way more usable, paint-safe sticky tack. The wild part is it’s basically a “liquid” putty that self-settles if you leave it alone, but it’s still easy to tear off, press into place, and then reconstitute back into a blob when you’re done. The big takeaway is my philosophy shift with airbrushing: if you want to speed up painting (especially when you’ve got events, timelines, and less hobby time), you need to airbrush more of the model—not just the base color. Masking feels like it’ll take forever, but the answer I learned is yes, it’s almost always worth it. This putty shines on small, rounded, organic shapes like shoulder pads and curved armor where tape is a pain, and it settles into crevices without ripping paint when you peel it off. We also compare it to masking fluids (nightmare jars that dry out and can damage paint) and explain when you still want tape or even plastic wrap for big, flat areas and laser-straight lines like caution stripes.
