Most of the time spent airbrushing

Been working with my airbrush quite a bit recently and damn I'm loving it.  Very much like the McDonald's jingle.  I've often been in awe of Imperial Guard Valkyries that were airbrushed.  Asking a guy at Fantasy Flight about how he did that he said blue tape.  Ah, blue tape.  It masks part of the model that we don't want to airbrush.

Working on my Grey Knights Rhinos this how I spent most of the time.

Took about 14 mins to mask off parts of the model.

While it's terribly effective and you can do some cool patterns.  If you're airbrushing tanks and other large models that you don't want your paint going everywhere this is how you'll spend most of your time.  There is another method to mask off models instead of using blue tape.  I haven't tried it yet so I don't want to talk out of my ass about it.  Much rather provide informed information about something I do know than to make something up and hoping no one fact checks me.

Airbrushing this was fast and easy.  Taping it off.  Not really.  Dare I say it's the same speed as hand-painting.  Perhaps hand-painting is shorter.  The difference is the finish.

If you have a method of masking of your model for airbrushing feel free to drop some education on me.
