Great Video! I'm a believer! For your airbrush, is the pressure you set pre-trigger pull or after the trigger pull? I've always wondered this as I'm getting started, mainly because I notice the pressure drop which is not something I notice with air tools on a typical large compressor. Tell if I'm overthinking it please lol
@relentlesstormСағат бұрын
@@YourFriendNoPay you're not overthinking it because the pressure can vary depending on where your gauge is set. My new compressor has a tank and I set the pressure to 18 psi while I have the trigger pulled. I didn't have to do that on a tankless compressor. I do really like the new compressor with a tank though
This is really cool but I just wish the model wasn't sexualized. It's mischaracterizing her, even her expression is odd.

I sent this video off to AK and asked about the color match issue between the markers and paint. They did respond "Although they share a similar name, they are not related to each other and have no colour equivalence. The markers are acrylic paints while the bottles are lacquers."

I find it weird that something that has the same RAL colour code has a different colour. Acrylic or lacquer should have no effect on the RAL colour.

@@johanmolendijk9811 yes, sadly. My understanding of RAL is that it isn't exact but more of a small range that can fit the RAL. Meaning if you bought multiple brands that state RAL ###, they would all be very similar but not exact matches

I am SO buimmed that they switched to dropper bottles. The jars are superior for re-pouring excess paint back into.And the markers feel like a complete cash grab for me. Hopefully they decide to go back to the glass jars! Not to mention those who've bought the large wooden paint crates are S.O.L
@relentlesstorm8 күн бұрын
@@21EpicFail I totally understand. I will say that you can pour your paint back into the dropper bottles. The droppers aren't difficult to remove. We do also get 17ml instead of 10ml so you are getting more paint per pot. Not all bad. And you won't need pipets to get your paint out anymore. The markers definitely have a purpose but I'm disappointed the colors don't match

I'm glad that you did your research on the new bottles.they had many issues with the labels they lack information in safety concerns for entering different countries and so on . The glass bottles were junk they leaked they let to much air in the bottles.they we're horrible for lacquer base paints especially for AK. for all my clients work and museums projects i have only been using Ak real color paint they in my book are the best for me and my fast style of model building but paint i collect paint and weathering products also lol . i use alot of paint and i started to rebottle all my paints to Twist Off lids some people call them mustard tops and 2oz p.e.t bottles so I have about 6 glass bottles in one of my new bottles saves time and alot faster for building for me time is money im a full-time model builder so i look for shortcuts whenever I can.

Hello, may I know how you guess with flowers? Let's say in simple modeling, each model is accompanied by a table or list of colors for painting. But in this hobby there are no tables with colors, do you rely on your own experience? For me, as a beginner, it is very difficult to understand what colors should be used for skin tones, because each figure has its own individual skin color
@relentlesstorm26 күн бұрын
Good question. Reference photos are a huge help so you know each character's color scheme. For skin tones, paint manufacturers name their paints fairly accurately so you know what the color tone is used for. Something like skin shadows or skin highlights. Reference photos are the most important piece for understanding where to paint the shadows and highlights. After that, it takes practice and experience to master the layering so you can achieve smooth and natural color transitions
@user-du2nt1mi5r25 күн бұрын
@@relentlesstorm Thank you very much for your detailed answer, by reference photographs do you mean those scans that are included with the figure when you purchase it? Or is it something else. I met a person who painted a figure, he had a sheet with a figure and a color palette for it. It may make sense to search the Internet for programs to determine colors in a picture or scan. In any case, I am grateful to you for your answer, maybe you can offer your answer, your ideas about programs for recognizing shades
