First Airbrush Experience

Well that was an experience...

As I mentioned in my previous post I recently purchased an airbrush which came allot quicker than I had expected :)

And these are my first 3 base coated models.

All 3 started with a black base coat the 2 on the right have had 3 different shades of grey dark, original and a light highlight,

This is pretty hard to tell from the quality of the picture but also I haven't had the pleasure of mixing the tones before so It was hard to judge the difference with each one,  from this experience I learned that my undercoat needs to be a few shades darker as its not as easy to differentiate the regular and darker tone as I would like but I'll take a note of this next time I get the airbrush out :)


Also learned from hand on experience the correct paint to thinner ration,  It's easy to say 1:1 ratio when its on a video or down in writing but actually doing something that sounds so simple even that needs a little practice.

Overall verdict is very positive, the initial black coat went on and looked brilliant.
The grey coats though not perfect are smoother than painting them and with a little practice the future looks positive :)

Below is just a short video of my first experience with the airbrush, there is no talking init but thought I would record it anyways but will be narrating videos in the future.
