Model Masking Tape for Miniatures & Scale Models

Model masking tape is an essential tool for clean, controlled painting on miniatures and scale models. Modelling masking tape is ideal for blocking out panels, protecting details, and creating sharp paint lines. The right model masking tape helps you achieve precise results without damaging your paintwork.

Our range includes both traditional masking tapes and liquid masking tape for models, making it easy to mask complex shapes, fine details, and hard-to-reach areas. Suitable for Warhammer miniatures, scale models, and other projects, these tools are trusted by painters who aim for a clean and blemish-free finish.

Why Use Miniature and Warhammer Masking Tape?

Using model masking tape allows you to paint with precision, and helps protect finished areas, create sharp edges, and reduce the need for touch-ups after painting.

Common uses include:

Painting crisp armour panels and stripes
Masking canopies, lenses, and small details
Supporting layered and airbrush techniques
Working cleanly on complex or multi-colour schemes

Warhammer masking tape allows the user to achive controlled results on any project and is ideal for single character work or painting an entire army.

Frequently Asked Question

The best modelling masking tape depends on the type of modelling projects you’re working on and the level of delicate detailing required. For model painting that demands clean edges and professional results, popular options at Loaded Dice include:

Vallejo Precision Masking Tape (6mm–18mm) – Ideal for sharp lines and larger areas on a plastic body

Narrower widths offer better control for intricate areas, while wider tape is suited to covering large sections efficiently.

Liquid masking tape is a brush-on masking solution used in model painting to protect areas during painting. It’s applied directly to the plastic body, allowed to dry, and then painted over. Once complete, it peels away cleanly to reveal sharp edges and detailed finishes. Liquid mask is especially effective for curved and flat surfaces, fine textures, and areas where tape cannot reach.

Model masking tape is used to protect specific areas during model painting, allowing for clean colour separation, delicate detailing, and consistent, professional results across a wide range of modelling projects.

Modelling masking tape works best on straight lines and flat areas of a plastic body, while liquid masking tape is better suited to curved and flat surfaces, irregular shapes, and fine details that require more flexibility.
