| Subject: | Basic airbrush techniques question |  |
| Date: | Dec 6, 2002 |
| From: | Jean-Vincent Roy | |
Hi guys,
What I would like to get is a few basic technics to use my Badger 350 to the
fullest. From what I've been reading here, it is far from the pro tool many
of you are using, but as I'm a student, I simply cannot afford the upgrade
that would be required. (I use canned air, but as I really dont built that
much, so it is still cost effective).
My question is simple: what are the tricks and technics would you suggest to
achieve satisfying results in complex camo scheme with an entry-level brush
such as this ? I made monocolor scheme with various degree of success, but
with that tool alone, it seems as if you cannot get anything like a clean
edgy line, even a broad one. It is always fairly spattered and foggy.
Perhaps I don't adjust it properly or something ?
As I plan to built a StuG III with possibly a two-color scheme or even
three, I'm beginning to wonder where to draw (or paint, more appropriately)
the line as far as expectations goes. I dont want to plan some scheme only
to realize that I do not have the tool required. On the other hand, I'm more
that willing to get your tricks on this and experiment on, say, that old
Italeri Puma that's been sitting on my work bench for a while. Perhaps there
are ways of achieving spectacular results with some good clean common sense
? I ask because I feel it might be of interest for equally less experienced
and poorly equipped guys out there that might want to try their hand on some
ambitious project without the financial back up. Feel free to point me
toward some basic airbrush technics on the web. I'd be interested to read
about it.
Thanks for any and all input in advance.
Cheers
