I didn't like the grey snakeskin stripes, but when I found these on sale I saw an opportunity to experiment a bit.

First masking:

Then paint:

Unmask and done!

Good job fella thumbleft
I had a first look at these in the flesh on friday and didn't like the snake effect stripes at all. Just a cheap print job . . .
What happened to texture??

Do you have a good tip for getting the masking tape under the stripes, under the zig zags I mean?

When I did forests I didn't even mask them, just pushed paper up underneath the zig zags.
