Second BaseCoat has been applied. When painting with an airbrush, do not expect to cover the model completely with the first coat. Patience is the key here (as I remind myself constantly).

Hey Big T,
I notice you have what looks like Artograph filter paper in those shots. Are you using an Artograph spray-booth?

Also curious about your choice of airbrush. What do you use, what would you like to have?

Hey Peabody,

The spray booth I am using is from MircoMart. It could be that paper that you mentioned.

I am using a Pasche single action airbrush. I have a double action but I wanted to get over the fear of using an airbrush first, then will move on to the double action...it think :oops:

Here are some pics of Tamiya Buff added to the Tamiya Dark Yellow.

I started out with 50-50 then gradually increased the Buff.

I added White to the mix. I am not finished with the white....at least I haven't decided if I am.

This is excellent to watch in-progress...I've never been brave enough to give airbrushing a go :cry:

The biggest hurdle for me was getting over the fear of the airbrush itself.

Once I got that under control I had to play with getting the correct ratio of thinner versus paint for dilution. From my experience so far, Tamiya is probably the easiest to dilute; you can use regular rubbing alcohol for the dilution. Next is Vallejo air. Again its all just in the practice that you do.

Do what I did, take a vehicle that you really dont care too much about and learn on that.

Again I highly recommend the MIG DVD airbrush techniques and Color Modulation.
