Air-to-Air Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I was undecided about whether I should get one of these for a future build. This thread beautifully showcases the detail of the model and what can be done with some imagination and skill. Definitely a worthwhile addition to the stash. Thanks for sharing with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobinsonh Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Absolutely fantastic model and a real inspiration. Not only are you very talented but your hints, tips and tutorials are very good and very much in the spirit (to my mind) of helping everyone improve. I have certainly learnt a lot already just from this build. I hope you do not mind but I am planning on copying your ideas for the base as it really finishes off a superb model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldrik1978 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Wow. I'd love to say something more but I can't think of anything else other than wow. I've just started to re build this model with an overhaul on a terrible paint job. If I come anywhere near your truly amazing paint job I will be amazed. You truly are a genius sir and I bow down to you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piero Stark Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 WOW. AMAZING WORK. I think you should make a video sometime of how you use airbrush or open a youtube channel, you are a master. What airbrush do you have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you thin all this colors? I make you this question because I have a iwata neo cn, and I use Vallejo mecha and ammo mig colors, and after few spray my airbrush is always stuck, and the most common problem is the dry tip, the color in the tip of the needle dry very fast and stuck it. So I don’t know if it’s my problem that I thin wrong the colors, or is a airbrush problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t know if it’s my problem that I thin wrong the colors, or is a airbrush problem I doubt it's an airbrush problem. Vallejo paints have a tendency to dry on the tip of the needle and clog the nozzle. You can get them to spray better by adding a drop of drying retarder to the paint. Vallejo makes a retarder, which is the best choice for their paints. You can do the same thing for AMMO paints, or you can try thinning them with Gunze Levelling Thinner which will make them spray much better and prevent them from drying on the needle tip. You will need good ventilation though as it's a lacquer thinner and smells quite strong. Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the pressure used and length of spray can add to a dry tip. I always have a qtip with window cleaner on standby to wipe the tip ever now and again. A quick air spray away from the model before I continue painting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a new member here and and there are so many great people here at Britmodeller! I have a question about that Snowspeeder you built a while ago. Is there a reason you used masking fluid for the chipped parts? Do you think that masking fluid does a better job at chipping than a chipping fluid sprayed with an airbrush? Thanks for being so awesome! 😉 All the best from Germany, Max 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it that way would have worked just as well - probably better actually. The main reason I used masking fluid was that it was quick, and I only needed to do the chipping on quite a small area. If I'd done it over the whole ship I would probably have used chipping fluid. Andy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
