Been trying to do my [email protected] shields like the one in this picture, but my freehand sucks and I tried masking it off but even that turned out bad, anyone got any foolproof tricks of the trade that might be able to help?

If I were doing that I would paint the red first, then do the white - maybe with a light grey first coat to get some cover over the red. If you wanted you could use a pencil and very lightly draw a guide mark to paint up to.

Very Lightly draw using a soft pencil a line down the center of the shield. Then a couple lines across the shield. Drawing the curve symmetrically is difficult free handed. Sometime easier to add a line for the curve's midpoint so its is same on both sides of the shield. Then pain over the lines blue.

Cheers guys, I'll have a bash over the weekend when I dig my Brets out of storage.
