Well I tried putting some teflon tape on the threads of my needle and something went completely wrong with it and now I can't get any airflow out of the needle. Everything looks clear but the water I was testing it with just bubbles into the cup now and I'm at a complete loss. I might have to just send it in to Badger and have them look at it, I just don't know what's wrong at this point.

rantmo posted:I was doing an airbrush priming marathon last night with my Badger Patriot and at some point the primer started bubbling out around the threads of the needle cap. I stripped the airbrush down and gave the front end a soak in Simple Green to get the primer off and have just given the needle a good once over to rid it of a little bit of dried primer so I think I've managed to get everything back to where it should be (once I reoil the needle at least) but I'm not sure what caused the problem in the first place. I did tighten the needle cap at one point last night because it was a little loose and seemed to be having a negative impact on the spray but now I'm not so sure. It's probably a really simple and common thing but I just don't have enough experience to know and while it's low stakes right now while I'm laying down black primer, as soon as I start trying to build a zenithal or base coat, that potential spattering is just not going to work. In my experience this tends to happen because the nozzle is clogged. The air has to go somewhere, and it’s next closest outlet is typically up through the hopper. Not sure what the nozzle situation on your airbrush is, but on my iwata I can remove the nozzle specifically. I then soak it in airbrush cleaner and use a tiny airbrush nozzle cleaning needle to get whatever clumped up or dried paint is clogging the nozzle (always go in from behind). Then I pop the nozzle back in and reassemble the airbrush.

That's what I was thinking but as near as I can tell the drat thing is clean, it soaked in Simple Green for a few hours last night before getting a scrub with a toothbrush and I can stick a toothpick through the opening fine. I do have a big-rear end bottle of the Badger spray through airbrush cleaner that I can soak it in, if that's the kind of cleaner you're talking about.

A lot of people will swipe a tiny amount of beeswax/chap-stick on the threads of their needle cap. Just adds an extra bit of sealant around the threads to prevent air/paint bleed. I've used it myself on one of my older airbrushes that had chonic paint bleed on the threads, even though it was perfectly clean, and the chap-stick sealed it up nicely.

You tape up the air intake's threads and lubricate the needle

https://sites.google.com/site/donsairbrushtips/badger-needle-bearing Needle bearings are something to watch out with badgers. This site is a great airbrushing resource overall and has some troubleshooting tips

I don't know that it's the bearing, though I suppose it certainly could be, but I think that site might have lead me to what my issue is. Looking at their review for the Patriot, and Spray Gunner's part's diagram show a tip (labeled B on the Spray Gunner chart) and I just... don't have that part. At all. The review shows it coming in a separate plastic tube which I definitely do not have. Have Badger, like, changed the design or did I somehow get an airbrush without that (presumably) important part?

Without a nozzle your brush wouldn't work at all, it would probably spray all over the place as the needle wouldn't have anything to mate with. They come pre-installed with the brush when you buy it new, but will usually come with a new needle kit (needles and nozzles work best when matched). They are just sitting in the housing, and are pretty small, so maybe you dropped it? or it might be stuck in the cap.

I don't think it's stuck in the head cap or spray regulator, having been loving with them as part of trying to solve this problem but it's certainly possible that at some point I had one and it fell without my noticing. Probably the most likely scenario if I'm being honest. Easy enough to replace, at least.

I tried some vallejo grey polyurethane primer brushed from the bottle since I thought it would be like the black one. It's awful coverage with inconsistent texture and dries streaky and thin. Is there a better grey liquid primer that can be brushed on? I can't do airbrush indoors due to setup right now and can't do outdoors due to humidity.

When I did brush priming, I found the best solution was to just use black then a heavy dry brush of white so I could see the details

I recently switched from Vallejo primers to ProAcryl. The hype is real. It flows from my airbrush with zero clogs and no thinning. I bet it would work well from a brush, but might take 2 thinner coats for full coverage.

 Painted up General Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars Shatterpoint. Probably my highest effort paint job in a while, which is to say not just Contrast paint but actual layers and edge highlights. Feedback definitely welcome. I am not experienced at doing white or at doing big robes, especially in light colors.

I can't do airbrush indoors due to setup right now and can't do outdoors due to humidity. I used to use the Vallejo Black Polyurethane mixed with the White to good results. Both the white and grey I tried were pretty naff on their own, but the Black was solid. This was years ago though, so one of the AK / Pro Acryl alternatives now might work but haven't tried myself.

I'm currently using a mix of their grey and black to prime, though mainly because I was being thick and figured grey would mean some kind of mid way point between white and black and not just basically white. I really have to shake the poo poo out of Vallejo though.

I wasn't going to touch these cultists until my spare heads showed up for the and then I realised between the Jackals and Neophytes I had two opposite arms holding TNT  I took the opportunity to try a different colour for the harness and I think I like this one way more.

I’ve put far too many hours into this already and have so many more to go but I started painting Gobsprakk a few weeks ago:  Definitely the biggest single and most complex figure I’ve painted. I far underestimated how long it takes to paint a model like this in detail. Saltpowered fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Aug 25, 2023 |
