I was planning some kind of sick fadez on the fluted tubes (flutez?), but I think the original paintwork just needs to be stitched together with something low-key, like a paint equivalent of the castle. I'm thinking of some shade of grey, and stencilling in the Motta decals in a second shade of grey. The thing is that the shorelines look like a natural part of it now and they pick out the shapes of the tubes, which I want to do, but they also look just too ratty for me. I think if I picked out the white/pink shorelines in the second shade of grey, that would keep it feasible, minimal, but help make a natural transition between the two.
So, I'm interested in your thoughts on a couple of things:
What to do with it now, in general!?
Any ideas for masking irregular shapes like these? Has anybody used something like the art masking fluid to paint a mask freehand?
