Shachi posted:So I'm really new to this and new to airbrushing. I've been painting some warmachine stuff and wanted to try airbrushing gradients rather than the usual base/wash/highlight. zenithal it, then glaze as appropriate for instant shading. Then do some highlighting where needed, then throw any washes on it where you care about deep shadowy recesses.

Haven't posted anything I've been painting for a bit. so I figured I would show off some of what I've done since I started using an airbrush.   First attempt at weathering powder, zenithal, and a nice scenic base.      Sample of my current batch. I'm super proud of how the 1st wizard turned out. If there's anything small I can do to improve on things I would appreciate the feedback.

Im thinking about doing a conversion for this guy, and going mad max with some of my cavalry. Where could I find an appropriate motorbike/alternate mount? ideally as mad max as possible while still representing the same model. Maybe also some tire shoulderpads... w00tmonger fucked around with this message at 19:42 on May 29, 2015 |

I think this would be the place to ask, but what do people here use for model transport etc. I have a little army transport bag, but want to upgrade to hold more without breakign the bank. One of my problems at the moment is that my bag has pluck-foam which has heavily restricted any future expansion. I'm using it for Warmachine, and would ideally like it to fit enough for a 2 list 50 point tournament (this isn't a must though).

As far as KR goes, are there particular bags that are better than others etc? their site always seems a bit daunting

evenworse username posted:Their site is awful but the product is great and I found their customer service fantastic. I got so confused by their site I ended up just emailing them and saying 'this is what I have, will it fit in X tray and X bag' and they got back to me right away to confirm that it would all work. So Kaiser 2 would be pretty reasonable? I wish I could find specs etc on here. Kaiser 3?

Painting a bunch of skin-tone for a dude but its coming out a bit similar to his copper armor. Any quick fix to differentiate it and make it a bit less orange? Really like the paint job and don't want to start that part over again...

BULBASAUR posted:You can get something from Amazon too. A filter is just a really thin paint applied over your entire model. Its basically a wash, but the intent isn’t to shade anything but rather to tint the color to give it some depth. Oils are the best for this, but you can use acrylics too. Having never done this is there anything weird to it. Don't have any oils to work with at the moment

Ive been trying to paint a model that I just primed and its been acting really weirdly. When I paint some areas of it, the paint doesn't seem to want to apply and instead just forms droplets on the surface. Any idea whats happened and how to fix it?

I've been doing my zenithal black to grey to white, but would it work just doing grey to white? I have some flying models and am worried that they're going to look a bit crap from the bottom given how vibrant I want to paint them

tried color blending for the first time the other day and just want to make sure Ive set myself up for success. Blending using a wet pallette, watering paint down further on it and basically shading darker as I move down the surface. should I be doing anything diferently (paints/mediums/technique?) or am I on the right track.

Any of you need have a magic recipe for thinning paint in an airbrush? I've been having pretty big clogging issues and can't quite figure out what the problem is. Lately I've been thinking with airbrush medium but have heard doing retarder might help out as well. Also been having issues spraying varnish, but I have done a pretty consistent job cleaning it afterwards as spraying water through it afterwards works perfectly.

krushgroove posted:I use Les Bursley's thinner recipe (which is water, flow aid and drying retarder I think), water and airbrush thinner/cleaner to thin various brands of paints. What you're using to thin isn't as important as getting the viscosity right for the needle size and air pressure you're using. At higher pressures (35+ psi) and larger needle sizes (0.4 or 0.5mm) you don't need to thin as much but as you lower the air pressure to 20 psi or less or smaller needle sizes you'll need to add whatever type of thinner you're using. When you're spraying at 10psi or even 5psi you may be thinning it down as much so you're spraying 10% paint and 90% thinner. The different brands vary and even colors within the brands will vary in viscosity, I spray straight out of the bottle at most about half the time. wheat psi should I be doing? Ive been at about 40-45

cool. at 25psi'ish should I be aiming for a certain ratio to thin it. Ive always been going for a milk consistency edit: matte medium, flow aid, and water? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoKJUrISnTo w00tmonger fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jul 14, 2015 |

I have liquitex airbrush medium at home so Im going to have a go with that. Ended up picking up this Golden Airbrush transparent extender which looks like it could be amazing. Its supposed to help flow etc and stop it from drying on the tip. Looks like a good generalist airbrush additive so Ill have to see how it goes.

Having some problems with my airbrush and I want to try and set myself up for success. I'm using Vallejo surface primer in the thing to prime some models but can't seem to get good for out of the thing. Based on searching online, I've switched up a size to my 0.5mm needle, and have tried everything from not diluting it, to a mainly thinned mixture. I've been thinking with a combination of liquitex airbrush medium and golden airbrush transparent extender. I tried 25psi and worked up to 35 (based on searching the internet). Anyone have experience with surface primer that could put me on the right track. I have a suspicion none of this is going to be a problem once I go to actual paint down the road. Running cleaner through the brush seems to flow perfectly so I don't think it's a clog out anything.

krushgroove posted:Do you mean 'good force' in the bit I bolded? You probably have a clog somewhere, especially if you have let paint dry in it even for a few minutes. Take the nozzle holder and nozzle off, take the needle out and give it a good clean with airbrush thinner (actual airbrush thinner that dissolves paint a little, not homemade thinner like Les's recipe) and a paper towel. Reassemble and test with water or thinner first. Listen to make sure there's no hesitation to the spraying. If that works OK try it with very thinned down paint, just a couple of drops. Clean it out and repeat with very slightly thicker paint, repeat, repeat. Pretty meticulous about cleaning the thing but I like the idea of starting with thinner and slowly making the paint thicker. Seems like the most fool proof way to go.

HardCoil posted:Weird, I'm using it straight in mine without thinning, with a .2 (I think, the SOTAR Fine) needle without issues. What kind of aibrush are you using? I had a LOT of issues with my ultra cheap china airbrush, both in terms of usage and cleaning. Its some gravity feed master airbrush. Mid-end to my knowledge. I mean, everything I found online was saying no thinning as well. Not really familiar enough with airbrushes to diagnose it...

Moola posted:I'm probably gonna drybrush a lighter colour to create the effect of the raised mud drying, while the lower mud is still wet from puddles etc that would do it. Im thinking that example works well because its got a bit of variation to it. flock isnt a static color etc. Might not help that it looks pretty shiny in comparison to the soft/dull flock as well (not really an expert though)
