  6. Badger Sotar 2020 Airbrush on Amazon for $87

    I agree (with) Burk, it is a large compressor, but you can certainly get the proper adapters for not much monies or so to step it down to the required size.  What I do like about the link is that the compressor has the pressure regulator, a moisture trap, and a reservoir tank.  I actually do most of my painting with a Home Depot Husky air compressor that is better suited for running my air nailer.  Compress the air, store it in a buffer, make sure it is dry before it goes into the tool, have the right adapters and PSI. I think those are the core concerns.  I defer to anyone more seasoned than my armature's experimentation.

    Then we start talking about paint thinning and viscosity...    mmmm.... milk.... 

     

    The hose in the image below works between my Badger Krome and my Home Depot compressor.  That is a badger hose, with a 3 dollar home depot adapter.

  11. Rust on red

    in Artificier's Forge

    Testors acrylic thinner (green bottle) is the best I have found. Also, I recommend Iwata Medea. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have been abusing mine for 2+ years now and it runs like a champ. YMMV.

    As far as rusty stuff (back on topic), after you get the color red you want, gloss coat your model. No......seriously. Then mix rust pigment with burnt umber oil paint and a little bit of white spirits. (Thinner) Flick onto model with stiff brush. When sufficiently coated, put pure thinner into your airbrush and diffuse the rust spots. Not TOO much but you'll get the gist soon enough. After wards you can streak the oil and rust with a thinner dampened brush. Then dull coat your model when finished.

    Do this in a ventilated area or you will kill braincells BTW. If you want any help in person, let me know and we can do a workshop up at WOW to get the technique you are looking for.

    Hope this helps.

     

    Way to drop some knowledge Chappy!  I love the Testors thinner, and I pick up a bottle of it every time I find it.  BridgeTown usually it if I remember correctly.  

     

    I also have great success gloss/oil wash technique, I used it for all of the black lining on my Tau.  I can really see where it would work for this as well.   

     

    I love the idea of the workshop, I'd be there!

    Hey Stoo(edit:And Others!), I have Terran and Sorylian fleets that I have never once used and I would love to learn to play as well.  This weekend won't work for me, but let's keep the channel open for some future battle.  Also I've been looking for an excuse to build a totally awesome space battle mat since I learned how to do this:
