I just needed to post this, to people who understand.....lol
For my birthday recently the wife surprised me with an airbrush & compressor for my new modelling obsession.
I set it all up and started to use it, but found it was more of a fight than a pleasure, intermittent paint flow, clogging every 2 minutes, and all in all it was just hard to control, I did use it to complete the last model I made and it did look better than brush painting but nowhere near as good as I expected.
I kept reading the forums and dutifully watching youtube videos but to no avail, I was starting to think that perhaps I didn't have the knack and was just bloody awful at it. (I have no idea what brand the airbrush is - it's just marked everythingairbush.com)
To finally prove to myself whether it was me or the brush (again after reading on here) I decided to try a brush that seemed to be recommended by a lot of people, So I ordered the Revolution CR from the shop.
It was here by Tuesday (Thanks John) and I have been sort of, well airbrushing everything in sight since. IT"S A BLOODY MARVEL! I can get a clean finish, I can do camo by hand, I can precisely control whatever i'm trying to do, it doesn't need stripping down every 2 minutes...etc, etc. I just love it.
I have tried telling the wife how happy I am but she thinks i'm doolally tap, so I thought i'd post it on here.
Again, thanks to all the experts on here who post good advice. I could probably name a dozen things i using/doing now that have improved my models no end.
Ramble over.
Cheers!
