Ok, so after months of looking, I ended up getting a used airbrush (Paasche H Series) and compressor (w/ regulator and moisture trap) from a friend on the supercheap. I finally got to use the thing yesterday to do some metallic basecoats on a Gundam, but I'm getting what I think is referred to as "orange peel." I'm using Vallejo model air, running around 20psi with no thinner in the paint. Also, is it normal for the psi to drop when actually using the airbrush?

I'm using Vallejo model air, running around 20psi with no thinner in the paint. Also, is it normal for the psi to drop when actually using the airbrush? Yeah, the operating pressure will be lower than the idle pressure on the compressor. So if you want to shoot at 20 psi, adjust the regulator to that pressure while holding down the trigger on the airbrush. As for the orange peel, your paint might be partially drying in mid-air before it hits the model. You can get retarders and slo-dri mediums to add to the paint to slow down the drying process, but for now you may want to just add a drop of dish detergent to your paint mix and trying shooting that and see if you get no orange-peel. Also don't shoot from too far away; about six inches is ideal. Obviously you can get closer or farther away depending on the detail you need and what effects you might be going for, but for wide basecoats and the like about six inches is best.

I'm not sure how it works in airbrushing, but I know I've had issues with metallics drying out WAY too fast in the past. Also, semi-related: If you're wanting to do chip effects, it's best to glosscoat as opposed to mattecoat, correct? To clarify, if I want a base silver, then chipped up whatever over that, I'd go primer>>silver>>glosscoat>>(salt method)>>red>>(remove salt)>>seal, correct?

First though, if you're putting a gloss coat over metallics, make sure it's a gloss that's specifically made for overcoating metallics. Standard glosses will completely kill the shine on a metallic finish, and turn a polished chrome into a dull silver. I believe Model Master and Alclad both make gloss top coats that will keep the metallic lustre of their paints. Not sure about Gunze's stuff though. Saying that, for chipping, using a gloss or a matte depends on the effects you want to do, especially if you're using the hairspray method. If you put your salt mix or hairspray over a gloss coat, the top layer of paint will come away much easier than if you put those over a matte coat. So if you want big messy chips, then go over gloss. If you want smaller, more jagged chips, go over a matte coat. I prefer the hairspray method myself, as your entire surface becomes potentially chippable, whereas with the salt method you're only going to get chips where you put the salt. I find the salt method looks a little speckly too, and less like a coherent map of chips and rust. The sequence you have there for doing chipping is the correct order to do it as well.

Is the hairspray method different that the salt method? I thought you used them together?

Salt-method is just putting clumps of wet salt onto the model, and then painting over. Hairspray method is coating the whole area to be chipped in hairspray (or purpose made chipping fluid), and then painting over. I guess you could use both together, but it seems like it might be overkill and you'd end up stripping too much paint off in the end.

For some reason, I was under the impression that you used the hairspray to adhere the salt to the model itself. So essentially, the hairspray layer makes itself chippable as it were?

Arquinsiel posted:You mean like Italeri did? TBH the games did great things for model making by bringing more obscure designs into the public eye. I'd never have bought half of the weird stuff I own now if I didn't play all kinds of terrible tank arena shooters. Yeah Italeri just had a partnership, stuck the logo on boxes, some codes in boxes, and used a few already common kits like the Tiger. I know hobbyists love them some obscure poo poo, but the Object 268 is pretty far out there, has to be the inspiration. ARK has a JS-7 as well, though I can't tell if the display is for the whole kit, or just some resin upgrades for someone else's kit.

So essentially, the hairspray layer makes itself chippable as it were? Yeah, the hairspray acts as a water-soluble layer between your top-coat and your bottom-coat. Once you apply the hairspray, wait about an hour, and then liberally apply water to the area to be chipped. The water will soften the hairspray underneath, and then you can use a brush or a toothpick to start chipping away the top layer of paint.

My uncle actually built that kit. He ended up finding out that the instructions for it have the landing gear backwards or something like that. But yeah, I know how big it is, and I know I don't have the room at all for it. But man that paint job and cockpit on the nuclear powered B-36 looks sweet. Thankfully there are not decals for it, and I don't think anyone has made a replacement cockpit in 1/72. Edit: Showed my fiancee. She had two reactions. The first was asking me if it comes with the man with the googly eyes. When I told her it didn't, all she said was "no." I didn't even tell her that I wanted to build it.

Sure, the B-17 isn't as big as the 36, but HK models do one in 1/32. If I've got my maths right that's a 99cm wingspan.

Kinda the same problem for me. I do have a Revell 1:144 Airbus A350-900 kit ready to be built though, but that's relatively small compared to this stuff(50cm wingspan and length) It's also why I've mostly stuck to 1:144 fighters and the occasional 1:72 helicopter(and a bunch of 1:24 cars) I'm already running out of shelf space, but my girlfriend has built a few display cases for me, which should free up some space. Still wanna build something nice and big though.
