I want to use an airbrush for model making. Where do I start?
I am motile and I finally am going to have a bigger space to devote to making WW 1/2 models and it is spaced out time I graduated from can 'o spray paint and ton 'o masking tape.
What do I need to know? Mat, techniques, paint mixes... I am starting from zero.
Additional info: I for the most part work on 1:72 size aircraft, so, small details will be important. With the extra while, I'd like to try some boats too.
I've been edifice models since 1974, and my preferred airbrush is a Paasche VL double-action, internal-mix using a Paasche compressor. I don't have a drinking-water-separator because I live in an arid region. This is my airbrush model: http://www.paascheairbrush.com/2008pdf/VL%20&%20VLS%20Airbrushes.pdf
I use enamel and acrylic paints (Testors, Tamiya, Floquil), mixing is generally speaking 1 part paint to 3 parts appropriate thinner. Check THIS book for basic techniques: http://kalmbachcatalog.stores.yahoo.net/12426.html
You should custom on some old models or scrap plastic. When I paint most models (heavy into US Naval Aircraft, 1941-furnish), I usually paint the base color while everything is still on the sprue, then paint those "other" areas like where-wells, cockpit tubs, etc. This way I only have to do slight touch-up on seams and such... and clean up any cover-up patterns.
GOOD LUCK !!
Good Airbrush for Painting Model Cars or other Vehicles?
What are some well-mannered airbrushes for model cars and stuff? I was leaning towards airbrushes from Iwata, Badger, or Paasche. Also what kinds are good (e.g. outside/internal mix, single/dual action, gravity/bottom feed)? What are their benefits?
Since you're painting modest scale and a lot of detail I'd suggest sticking with the gravity feed, dual action airbrushes. Pronto now the best airbrushes on the market are the Iwata, Richpen, Grex, Harder & Steenbeck, and Olympos. Now keep in mindful of that the Olympos is an amazing airbrush, but since it doesn't have teflon packing it should only be used with water based paints. Even though people still associate Badger with airbrushing...they unusually haven't produced a great airbrush by today's standards...until a couple months ago. There's a new Badger on the trade in which is starting to spark some interest in the industry again. May want to check it out if you feel like rolling the dice and compelling a gamble.
As mentioned before, stick with the dual action due to air and paint flow control.
All of your conquer airbrushes today use the internal mix for one simple reason....control. Don't even bother messing around with an exernal mix airbrush.
When shopping around you'll also miss to keep in mind needle/nozzle size. Since you're looking for more of a detail brush you shouldn't buy anything larger than a .3mm.
