So today had me working on my gundam tryon 3 for a friend of mine and I have to say the kit has impressed me so far. Looking forward to painting this one once I finish my degree at university. View
Hi, I’m new to airbrushing and still doing alot of practice (creating a clown gouf with all the paints I’m testing).
I’m using Vallejo paints, but sometimes I get bubble’s in my cup and my nossle get’s gloged resulting in bad paint work.

Like Ben said, mid 30s are a good place to start. If you ultimately do…[Read more]
Hi there I use just the cheep chines one’s off of eBay. Got a compressor airbrush combo for under £100 still going strong.

Hi all just had a stab at making a couple of vids about airbrushing my gundams shield so not absolutely sure how to put the link in here but try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXN609gQsvU or search on YouTube forRX-93 Hi Nu Gundams Shield Part 1/2 Hope that helps.
