I use Harbor Freight tools. I know, yuck, BUT I use it as a mini-sprayer for model trains.
Now, my mother comes from the really old school when folks actually airbrushed 10x12 B&W photographs (1955). There were no do-overs there, not the negs, the original prints. So, as a young pup I sat at her knee and watched. Unfortunately no skills rubbed off, but I have seen a lot of it; maybe some day, aye? Oh and retouching was a drafting pencil with a hand sharpened super fine sharpened lead... I used to sharpen them. She had a business envelope with a folded sheet of sandpaper inside (open at the top) and I would stick the lead in there while pushing and twirling it...
but enough about Mom
I'm here trying to find out about a Frisket mask I have seen a fellow using. It has to be a photographic Frisket stencil. Not silk screen, but self adhesive stencil that is very Hi-Rez. He is using it to create very fine lettering on the side of a model train car. He uses multiple computer fonts as needed. The lettering is no taller than 1/16th of an inch.
I hope someone is going to come back with "Oh you are thinking of..."
Then I can take my mini-sprayer, stencil and get some super fine lettering on my train cars without buying an Alps printer and making decals.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Mel.
