In order to get ready for taking all of my stuff over to his place, I am breaking out the air brush and spraying some guys in order to be ready to paint once I am over at his house.
Here is what I am spraying. I have a rhino, two razorbacks with heavy bolters, and seven bike riders.
This is the airbrush I bought. It is a Master brand and it is pretty cheap. Most of the blogs I read said you should lay down some good money on your first airbrush and learn how to paint with that, and I would tend to agree except for the fact that I got the brush and the compressor for $80, and it was a choice between having it all now, or perhaps sometime in the future when I could convince my wife that $200 on a brush and $200 on a compressor is a good idea.
Here is the compressor. It is VERY quiet, but the only problem is that it does not have a tank, so it runs constantly while you are painting and it get VERY hot VERY quickly. Also pictured, my freakish foot.
The primer I am using.
All in all it took me about 7 minutes to spray all of the stuff. Not too bad. It would have taken a lot longer with a can of paint.
Now some people will tell you use latex gloves while you paint, but I am here to tell you that those people are wusses. They may have clean hands, but they are wusses.
Two questions: where in your house do you have you airbrush set up, and how do you handle other items after getting primer all over your hands? I love the airbrush primer.
ReplyDeleteThe airbrush is set up in my garage. I still have a spray box for it, but I want more ventilation.
ReplyDeleteUsually, I spray and then I go clean up. So I take the airbrush into the kitchen and let it soak in some warm water while I clean my hands. With the airbrush the primer dries really fast so usually I don't have to worry about wet paint on my hands.
I love my airbrush, though I usually use it for my base coat and not priming (and also big models). I also have that exact same compressor. Is that primer you are using water based?
