Well, I know airbrushing is the way to go, but i don't want to spent that much money with a decent airbrush and a compressor (cans no good...) because of various reasons. 1. I don't know how my interests move (sometimes i like painting, sometimes not). 2. I cant really afford decent airbrush set (like $200 for the brush and like $100 for the compressor). Plus with airbrush, i don't know how use it... Better off with brush, something ive been taught how to use since pre-school.
My local hobby store doesnt sell good brands. The other store I buy stuff from (Gundam shop) sells Tamiya only. Bad thing is that they only sell Tamiya Acrylicsa and TS spray cans. So I cant get enamels from them.
I want the vellejo ones but they don't have sales to where I live. So I'm not sure of how to get it. Internet buying might be an option for some, but I don't have credit card, so not for me.
As I primer, I think ill go for Tamiya TS white. I'll spray a layer, sand off. I got some K&S Flex-I-Grit sanding film (more like paper) that i use to sand off parts. Should I use that or get a 2000 wet-and-dry sandpapers? Also, u mention sanding it, do i wet sand or dry sand?
And Do I need to wash my model after painting?? Or can i just add a gloss to it and it finishes. Thanks for all the help and support! |
