Thanks, I was using AK 6mm tape which was a pain to get to actually stick down so in hindsight this result was probably expected, however, now I have to strip it again I can do a better job on my very lazy gap filling so swings and roundabouts I suppose! To be honest im really enjoying using the airbrush but it is quite labour intense having to clean it out after every use, and I can see the cost of airbrush cleaner steadily spiralling!
Not only a cat, but an orange. Our orange was always gentle around miniatures, and anything really. The calico is another story. She’ll look you dead in the eye as she gleefully sees how far a figure will fly after a good swipe.
Moonstone skin is part of their color triads, isn’t it? Do you use the others to highlight or shade, or mostly rely on the zenithal highlighting for that? I haven’t tried AP paints yet but they are on my list to pick up.
Failing to clean well between uses can be a big problem, high PSI while spraying can also contribute to more rapid clogs. Are you using flow-improver while spraying? I've found that adding a couple of drops into my thinned paints can go a long way in preventing clogs.
I dreaded the switch over when the plastic Sisters came out because like you an army I had for 30 years, . And Fear this when the Grey Knights get updated as it my largest fully painted force.
Great Job on updating your World Eaters warband! Can not wait to see more.
That’s a rough go with the hawk. Just keep reminding yourself that third time’s a charm!
What do you use for masking? I am using Taimya masking tape when stippling or sponging. Haven’t tried it with airbrushing as I have only really used my airbrush for priming.
Neo with Trigger is great for base coating, imho. I usually have to take the back cap to get finer adjustments, where as the other 3 have the cutouts. I probably could switch out needles but it is still bulkier and not as easy to use like the others.
I do love Vallejo primer though. I have used it through the airbrush and been very pleased with the results but mostly paint it on by brush.
Off topic but how do you like the Neo with the trigger Vs the more traditional style?
I love the effect an airbrush can have, particularly on larger models with large, flat areas, but with an airbrush I spend half my time painting and half my time cleaning the thing out. Still, persevere, as the end result can be very satisfying.
Yes it is part of their triad series. I do like using them as I just grab the colors off my rack and I have the highlights handy. Some of the triads are like 6-7 colors but usually I stick to 3-4.
lol I had cats like that. He’s the only one of the 3 that will go on my desk. The other 2 (black cat and grey calico- all from same litter) will just go under the desk.
