Paints are due in today, so i should be rocking and rolling soon.

Just for fun, let's go over the cool psychedelic butterfly I posted a while back. A few moths ago I was Googling for companies that sell Vector Graphics and ran across a firm (forgot who they are) that was giving away five graphics free to entice you to buy more from them. I was really surprised that two of the five were images that would fit perfect on a paint job I was doing at the time. One of them was the butterfly. It literally took seconds to size it and cut two mask for the tail on a Proteus. You can see in the picture I just airbrushed yellow around the perimeter, orange was next and purple in the middle and the antennas.

Trust me it took longer to clean my airbrush and put in a new color than it took to paint it. I would say, I had five minutes at most on both sides of the rudder.
