In watching your great paint work on the various blogs I have noticed your painting using double stick tape as a holder. It looks like this requires a second painting session for the reverse side. Do you clean up you air brush and then paint the reverse at another time?

I originally started painting on the sprue but soon found that cutting the piece from the sprue caused finish problems and painted pieces did not always glue properly. I now assemble all pieces that do not have painted areas hidden beneath and mount them on tooth picks on a turntable for painting. The small pieces I mount separately. But I still have problems with the air pressure blowing the small pieces off the mount occasionally so the double stick tape thing looks inviting except for the second paint step for the reverse side.

I like the job you are doing.
