You Might Need an Airbrush

Here’s the truth about airbrushes for painting minis. I demonstrate a ton of great techniques on 3 very different models to show some reasons why you might want an airbrush. Let’s test what they can and cannot do! Links to airbrush equipment that I use are down below.

    I agree- it can be pretty intimidating when you're a beginner, and you feel like all the tutorials online are way out of your league with how they already seem to know everything (and make it all look easy, too). Of course, everyone is human and is uncertain or makes mistakes sometimes, but it's nice to see those kinds of moments captured on the camera as well as the moments of mastery.

    Absolutely agree, it's nice to see some tutorials where most of the process is shown clearly, including mistakes. So many videos I've seen are just "Here, use this technique", plus 3 seconds of clip, then finished product. Even just hearing his general thought process on which colors he picked and why is a big help in getting a feel for how to use the airbrush.

    Small advice about usage of compressor with tank: After you have finished work, do not bleed an excesses of air that left in tank through airbrush! Use small red valve at the side of tank, it does not only bleeds all air faster, it also spills all moisture from the tanks itself that was harvested during air pumping by compressor. By ignoring this step you might end with a solid amount of rust inside tank (after about 4-5 years of usage, but depends on country where you live)

    That's an emergency valve. Another way to bleed the air is by slowly unscrewing the small cap at the bottom of the tank. And it's through there that any water that precipitated inside the tank can spill out.

    Once every couple of months you should empty the screw cap at the bottom of the tank whilst the compressor is outside or in an empty bath and let it drain out.

    @cpadeo9819

    2 жыл бұрын

    worth noting that if you empty the tank via the valve on the bottom, bleed out the tank to around 5-7psi before you start unscrewing it, so the're enough pressure in the tank to blow out any moisture that's accumulated, instead of having it drip out.

    I like how you mentioned, "Sometimes that's annoying, and sometimes it's a cool effect." The first time I picked up an airbrush, after a few passes on a sheet of paper to get a feel for it, I began to paint up a printed display mini bust of a wood nymph. Along the way, some brown paint that I was using to gradient tone the skin splattered onto the model and got blasted around in little droplets by the airflow. For the first ten seconds, I was super annoyed at having messed up what was previously a very pretty paintjob and almost set the whole thing down in disappointment. Then I took a metaphorical step back and really thought about it. Why would a wood nymph be pristinely clean? Maybe she was just running through the forest and splashed through a puddle. Maybe she had been crawling around on the ground while stalking some humans who were intruding into her territory. Next thing I knew, without even really thinking about it, I was purposely splattering more brown paint in a few places on the model and blasting it around with the air. The effect looked fantastic, added detail that I had never intended or even considered, and made the end result look more natural for the imperfection. I ended up holding onto that philosophy for just about every project since, and it has led to some interesting and unexpected positive results that I am actually quite proud of. Of course, if anyone asks, it was totally on purpose.

    Great video as usual! A few remarks on the cleaning process though: Using the needle to do the cleaning is a dangerous choice. If you have something stuck in the airbrush you will bend your tip and make it unusable. Also pulling the needle back while fluid is in the cup lets the liquid enter the back of your airbrush where it is not supposed to be. Apparent from the bubbling on your trigger where the moisture is coming back out. What i found pretty efficient is similar to your process but moving the needle is not recommended. Instead clean with (possibly distilled) water. Use some back flow by holding the needle. Dump the water into a waste cup. Wipe the cup wit a paper towel. Repeat. Possibly also repeat with airbrush cleaner. In the very end after the airbrush cup has been empties spray the last remaining drops out at the front.

    As a scale military model builder I use the airbrush for most painting. BUT, there is just a time and place for brushes. I have started painting miniatures recently and found that the airbrush is best, as noted, for larger models, bigger surfaces, priming, etc. The details still are best with brush, as it is in scale modeling. Right tool right time right place right job as my dad would always say.

    With regard to hand position, do what you like. I’m a physical therapist so I can offer my perspective. Any hand position you practice airbrushing with will become more precise over time. I think the issue is most people argue from a right handed bias. Holding an airbrush like a pen and using the index finger feels like writing, something we start doing from childhood. As a lefty, you likely learned to write differently, arm curled over the page to avoid smudging. In that inverse position, a lefty uses a lot more thumb, so thumb on the trigger probably feels more precise to you. I mean, I’ve seen people without arms use their feet drive a car, change a baby’s diaper, and even crack an egg without crushing it. It’s really all about the practice.

    I use that very same Liquitex Gold to achieve most of my gold effects, but using a paintbrush. I start (with a white undercoat) with a layer of Nazdreg Yellow contrast paint, then apply a layer of that Liquitex Iridescent Gold. When that's dry (which doesn't take long) i add a very thin layer of Gulliman Flesh contrast. Gives the gold a very "warm" feel to it. Always love watching your stuff, Brent!

    This is one of the best airbrush explanation videos I have seen until this day. I use three pistols with different needles and stuff to have different options and a larger variety. But for detail it's always a brush. Or drybrushing.

    Another great video - thanks! I have just bought a usb chargeable all-in-one handheld airbrush, mainly for priming and sketching highlights and shadows - your use of Payne's Grey as an after-paint shading technique was a great idea, and new to me, and I may now find myself using the airbrush for more than I expected. Looking forward to playing with my new tech on the figures from the "HATE" boardgame... Skulls, lots of skulls...

    Noticed you're loading the airbrush with water multiple times and then running the alcohol. You actually get the most mileage from mechanical rubbing of the cup with a wet paper towel or a rag soaked in alcohol. You can speed things up with a spray from a spray bottle, a quick rub-out with a wet towel, and then a final alcohol squirt-through.

    Great overview of things it took many of us years to learn (and I wish I'd known before I started airbrushing). Tip though: You said you shoot everything at 30 psi. I suggest you try 25-30 for primer/varnish (0.5-0.7mm needle), 20 for base coats (0.5mm needle), and 15 for detail work (0.3mm needle or smaller for Sotor). I use all the same airbrushes (two 105s, 105 Xtreme, and a Sotor), and the same paints, and have great success with these pressures. Also, you can thin your inks (which you might already do, but maybe didn't mention). That'll make them more like glazes, and reduce the chances of ruining your initial zenithal highlights. Cheers! Great stuff!

    Great Tube Goobs. One tip i've learned with airbrushing inks is that some of them need to be thinned with airbrush thinner due to them overpowering the layers underneath. Mostly browns and reds but its part of the fun learning experience. Also practice practice practice and you'll be able to hit those wood planks with no overspray.

    The hobby has come full circle! Brent is the model! I'm not sure we can turn back now. I started the hobby with a 3D printer and I gotta say I'm having a hard time imagining the hobby without it. I've been reluctant to get an airbrush. I'm wondering If I could justify it just for the priming alone since I print so many models and the last third of a rattle can gets all spluttery and dangerous. Thanks again for all the advice Brent. I was seeing tons of airbrush videos but you were the first thing I found for covering the important stuff like where, when and how.

    The work you did here is incredible! I'm genuinely envious of your skill! My airbrush skill is limited to making an unpainted part painted. You did bring up some very good points. I'm a model car guy. The Tamiya F1 kits, yeah that's me, and yes I'm crying with needing to buy five thousand jars of X-18 semi-gloss black. From a model-car-guy perspective, yes and airbrush is essential. The flat-ish panels of pure colour require a method of adding a smooth, even coat of paint. Generally, the goal is to get a very smooth finish to make the parts look natural and clean. Certainly I'll brush on a wash to make an engine oily, but much of what I do is in detailing work with off-the-shelf household, and bespoke detailing parts. What I've learned in my journey though, is to respect the value of both airbrush and paintbrush, as they both play a vital role in your build. Get an even coat of primer and colour down with the airbrush, finish the details with the paintbrush, and embrace the combination rather than losing an opportunity to hone your skill in one of these two 'disciplines'. I can say that by relying on the airbrush made me somewhat afraid to bust out the paint brushes. What I've learned is sometimes it's more practical to brush rather than mask and paint, particularly in smaller areas, and that's a good epiphany to have as a modeler.

    They criticize your method of using an airbrush, but they forget that all major disputes and (friendly) blood feuds in Goobertown are settled by a thumb wrestling duel at high noon. It only makes sense the mayor of Goobertown would have years of practice turning his thumbs into dexterous weapons of dispute settlement and airbrushing. That dragon looks fantastic by the way, definitely gives me some ideas for future projects.

    I purchased an airbrush late 2020 and have been slowly building my skills with it. It’s a major time saver even with the maintenance involved. I would recommend that if you’re looking at a Start Collecting box or something similar, pocket the money you would’ve spent on that and put it towards an airbrush set up. We need all the help we can get when tackling our piles of opportunity.
