trev1973

Hmm, not entirely sue where to put this so... I decided to prime the model with the humbrol canned acrylic primer and may as well have used a B+Q sponge roller. In a moment of retail therapy I ended up with a compressor and airbrush with the intention of decanting this stuff and airbrushing it on (model got stripped with dettol). So I now have a jar of primer and used a normal paint brush to brush paint some parts. What I noticed was that the primer didn't come of the brush very easily at all so I'm concerned about putting it through an airbrush and not getting it all out again. What do you guys used to clean an airbrush after using decanted humbrol acrylic primer? Thanks

Hello all I'll blame my nephew, or maybe his mother for getting him started. His Warhammer handiwork triggered a thought: That could be a good past time for me that has little risk of injury, poverty or therapy. I managed to stay out of Games Workshop but couldn't avoid Amazon. Damn you Amazon and your "buy it now -- next day delivery" consumerism simplicity. Its a shame I can't find a breathalyser attachment for my PC. Yeah, so I guess I'm potentially wrong about the poverty bit. I'm taking a crack at an Airfix Typhoon 1/72. I remember making one in the 1980s which was a bit of a disaster as I didn't drill the holes for the rockets. De ja vu kicked in quite nicely when I did the same thing last week. Apparently I have a reading age of 11 despite looking and actually being 44. I had a lurk in the "Work in progress" forum and then quietly backed towards the door. There is an impressive level of expertise kicking around there so I have to ask where would I find a "safe place" post any novice images and questions? Hmm, maybe wrong about needing therapy also. However, so far I'm yet to stab my finger with a knife but I guess thats also "in the post" so an injury free modelling endeavour is also highly unlikely. Trev
