Paint Stencil tutorial

 The paint stencils come in two formats a pop out or a standard format.

This guide covers how to use both types

 

Pop out

The pop out stencils are made so you can removed the decal parts from the overall stencil, This allows you to use the decal in one of two ways

• As a decal you glue on to your model / buildings, adding more details and features to it
• As a paint stencil that will fit into smaller and harder to reach places than the sized standard stencil

 

 Firstly choose which decals you want to use then use a sharp craft knife to remove it from the stencil

 

 Using the knife clean up the edges of the decal, This is important if you want to line several up together or when using it as a decal

To use it as a stencil tape it in place and cover the surrounding area to make sure paint only goes where it should

 If you have a stencil such as this one but you only want one of the words to show you have to use some masking tape to cover

the undesired word, this also applies to the standard format stencils

 The results

 

 Some of the decals work great together, cut them off the stencil and clean up the edges so they fit next to each other nicely

tape them in place and put a small strip across the joins just to make sure no paint gets through

Standard stencils

 To use the standard stencils the method is much the same

 

 Tape the stencil in place, lining up the decal as desired and taping off the spare ones
