I recently started painting using an airbrush and I noticed that when I would paint, all that would come out would be clear liquid which I would assume is thinner, and not the actual color to be painted. I figured that I put too much thinner into the mix. What ratio of paint to thinner should I use?
depends on the paint. you kind of have to play around with it to get a ratio you like. for instance tamiya paint, some say a 1:1 ratio, i find that for 20 drops (pipette) of thinner i use 16-17 drops of paint. BUT i have been watching “Andy’s Hobby Headquarters” on youtube and he takes a fresh bottle of tamiya paint, opens it up and fills it the…[Read more]
oh also, if you are going to mix your paint and thinner in the paint cup of the air brush, i find turning the cup to the side and putting the thinner in first, trying to not let it get down where the needle is until i have mixed it with the paint helps to insure that i have all the thinner and paint mixed together
Hi @Syd and @Ryan, thanks for a great show guys. As a newbie I learn a lot from your show. Awesome! So far I only have 4 HG, really afraid I’ll do some mistake in MG. But next in the list is RG. I don’t know yet what I want to build though. Any suggetions?

Great Episode Guys, Getting the 1/100 Barbatos in for Cmas here in the states and i can’t wait. I was wondering if you had heard anything else on the new series Thunderbolt and maybe the gunpla that will be accompanying it. I looked back at your episodes and 140 has some gunpla from the manga, do you think that it will be the same for anime as a…[Read more]
Bandai was quite secretive about Thunderbolt animation kits at the recent Gunpla Expo but they did show that there will be Master Grades of the kits from that series. I expect we will see the Full Armour RX-78 and the Zaku as well. Waiting to see if they do an MG version of the Zaku II with the Big Gun.
