Excellent video. I just got an airbrush kit and am going to try my hand at airbrushing for the first time hopefully this weekend if the weather looks to be any good. It's been so darn humid the past few weeks i've only been brush painting parts and pieces, etc. Previously i'd tried to use Testors Model Master "aotomotive lacquer aerosol can system" on a Revell Lamborghini Countach model and had very poor results. But I think that was due in combination to both my technique, sloppy/no prep, etc. Going to see if I can actually do it the correct way this time lol. I've already washed off the parts and let them dry. so hopefully mold release won't be an issue. Next will be primer. I just have to decide if I want to use the Tamiya Fine White aerosol can. Or the Allclad II paintbrush primer that I picked up last week. I also picked up a box of plastic spoons to test out on :) so we'll see how all that goes.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It appears that you move from one coat to the next without much wait time in between (except when changing from primer to color and then to clear). Is that correct?
@TheScalemodelingChannel
10 жыл бұрын
That is correct. I wait about 3 or 4 minutes inbetween coats. Most of the time i paint more then just the body. All the other parts i paint take about 4 minutes to paint. so when those are done i give the body another coat. With the paint i use you don't have to wait long at all it dries really fast. Its touch dry in about a minute.

Hey there, I also build revell models but the painting always goes wrong. I don't have an air brush so I do it 'by hand'. I also buy the revell paint. So is there anything that you suggest to maybe make it look better or just buy an air brush? I have been looking for one but they're very expensive.
@TheScalemodelingChannel
9 жыл бұрын
Well first of all when brushing its best to thin the paint down, and do 2 coats instead of just 1, sometimes even 3. i don't use revell paints because i don't think they are any good. I use Tamiya Valleyo and Zero Paints(airbrush only) and for the best results i would suggesting to get an airbush, but if your serious about the hobby buy a good one the first time. and don't waste money on cheap stuff.

I'm using a 0.5 airbrush but your paint seems to spread a lot more. Is that because of my spaying at 25 bar or is it the spraying distance. From what distance are you spraying?
@TheScalemodelingChannel

I hope you mean 25 PSI or 2.5 bar.... Lol, The spraying distance has influence to how wide the spray is. This also varies per airbrush and nozzle setup. I don't know the exact distance i spray from my model but is think its about 10 cm thats about 4 inches

I think enamel is well on its way out. Acrylic is sooo much easier to use and cleanup and dries in 10 minutes. If you watch his videos, Tom uses lacquer-based primer (Zero Paints) and lacquer-based paint (Zero Paints, Gravity Colors) for his car bodies, and acrylic paint for all the detail work. The only place he uses enamel paint is Humbrol black for the floorboards before he adds powdered flocking to simulate carpet. Everything else is pretty much acrylic. He's also done a model with Tamiya lacquer-based primer, Tamiya acrylic paint, and Tamiya TS-13 lacquer clear just to demonstrate that cars CAN be done with a rattle spray can rather than airbrush and still get a good result. Honestly, you can get decent results with airbrush paints sold at the local hobby shop IF they are thinned properly and sprayed in several light coats. Heck some people use Pledge Floor Care (Future/Finish) as a clear coat and are happy with the results.

@feldon27

Liquitex Wicked Paints are already thinned and airbrush ready. Assuming your airbrush is receiving enough air pressure (try 20-35 psi) then you can add up to 10% High Performance Reducer (Auto Air Colors #4012, Wicked Colors #W500) which is their official thinner product. I've seen some DIY recipes online on how to make your own thinner for this paint that include clear auto glass cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, and glycerin. House of Kolor sells their own reducers -- RU310 Fast Dry, RU311 Medium Dry, RU312 Slow Dry, RU313 Very Slow Dry and RU300 VOC exempt.

Some sandpaper can be used dry or wet. When lightly sanding a painted model, I cut out a small square of sandpaper and periodically dip it in distilled water. This way the sandpaper grit doesn't get clogged with the pigments. Instead I can just dab it on a paper towel and the sandpaper is ready to use again. Also it is much less harsh on the paint job.
