Really nice work! This is one area of modeling that I'm afraid to attempt, re-painting a shell with an  airbrush. It is such a fine detailed task to do and in the past (even with painter's tape) I get smears.

The only way to get better at airbrushing is practice, lots of it :)

I agree....but my hands keep turning purple with all the different paints I smear on myself.

That's no problem :) A lot of professionals actually use their hand as makeshift freehand masks, so you'll just look like a pro

An airbrush is definitely a lot more accurate and more comfortable to work with than spray cans.
