I started off by learning how to take it apart to clean the airbrush, hooking up the compressor to the airbrush is the easy part, taking the airbrush apart is probably the scariest thing I did, but once you have done that, the rest is kind of easy going, even learning to mix your paint and thinner ratio becomes automatic instead of having to…[Read more]
Same one I got. I’m not expecting more than 2 years out of it. But the tank evens out the air pressure so you don’t get pressure spikes from the motor when it turns off and on. It’s an oiless motor so you don’t get oil mixing with your paint, this will shorten the motor life as well. And it has a regulator, which is a must for airbrushing. But $90…[Read more]

The latter airbrush kit looks like it’s your best deal, I’m new to airbrushing myself, looks like the only thing your missing is the cleaning jar, never dealt with an airbrush that has three different sizes of needle/nozzle, so I don’t know if that would be a pain, or a dream to work with?
yup that’s right, what I see there in that pic is a lacquer thinner, it’s pretty hard to tell with everything being Japanese and all, that is ofcourse unless you can read Japanese, but usually the store guys should be able to tell you.
upon further digging though it seems you can use lacquer thinner with acrylic paint, most people even seem to be…[Read more]
Ok so here is the thing yes i like the charicter of char and the lookaliles but personally i just think he always gets the best looking suits and with the neo-zeong coming out i habe no idea where i will put that behemoth

So i mainly bought these to learn how to colour the eyes of my gundams, Will practice on my high grades first which the plastic for the eyes aren’t clear transparent…[Read more]
thinner is used for 2 things:
1. you mix it with your paint to get it to a nice consistency generally close to a 1 to 1 ratio is pretty good.
2. you use it to clean your brushes.
but I hate to tell you this but you have the wrong thinner. the Mr.hobby thinner is a lacqour thinner what you want is Tamiya x20 thinner.
