Hey guys,
I decided to give model building a crack. There is a Naka's MotoGP model I want to do. So I'm working my way upto it by doing some cars first.
I built a dual action Delta airbrush yesterday. So I'm looking for people with some airbrushing experience to give me some pointers.
Cheers,
Dan

Re: Models and Air brushing
Practice, practice, practice.
Good airbrushing technique will not happen first go mate. I strongly suggest painting something else first so you can get a feel for the action and flow rate. And remember, preparation is the key to a good finish.

Re: Models and Air brushing
Yeh. The $20 kits are for practice.
But I'll do a lot on paper too.
I did some mat black on an old fairway wood this morning as my first crack. I was wrapped with how it came out actually.

I'm really disappointed in you Dan.......... I came in here expecting lots of airbrushed grid girls..................
