So one of the guys at the local game store suggested I try some liquid mask. So I did, and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Do I brush it on like paint, or do I use it straight from the bottle? It's kind of hard to use from the bottle, it is hard to control and tends to just run everywhere.

Any advice?

It covers the paint so you can add other colors to make camo, and when you've got the coloring you want, you can just rub it away.

You forgot the pointless "LOL POLLWHORE" option.. If adding a poll at least let it have some relevant bearing on the thread.

In regards to your question, you brush it on, CLEAN THE BRUSH well afterwards, apply other paints where needed and finally when everything is dry gently rub the model with a DAMP NON-FLUFFY RAG, thus removing the liquid mask. This can also be done very carefully with tweezers.

Granted this is the case with the Flames of War Utility set, which uses Vallejo paints and whatnots.

Wow. The goo on the first picture looks very familiar.
