I have a few larger (1/6) scale vinyl figures now, and I'm wondering if there
is a logical masking/painting sequence.  I normally build aircraft, and that's
pretty much a no-brainer, but on figures with everything exposed, where do I
start/finish?  FWIW, the latest aquisition is a ...

I have tried using liquid latex for masking, but keep running into the same
problems time after time, so I don't know if it's my technique or the product

I'm looking at some color plates of a King Tiger II and it says that it was
painted with green and yellow over a primer coat of red. Obviously this could
