Great video. I definitely learned a lot here. I am pretty new but I have a word of advice for anyone else just starting: the time it takes to change paints and clean your brush RAPIDLY decreases as you gain experience. The trick is not letting those early frustrations stop you, because it will not get better without practice. Even just a few months into airbrushing I already feel like I can do a paint change in under a couple of minutes without clogging. I'm not sure how much more time I can shave off of it at this point, but every time it gets just a bit easier.

Best video on this process I've seen. Do you think 15ml will be too small? Having trouble finding the thin nozzle in 20ml on Amazon.

Hey, would you mind sharing the process behind how you painted the face itself?

You teaches very well. Thanks.

that seemed very helpful!! haven't tried it yet, but looking forward to giving it a go

I noticed that water and alcohol is used to clean air brushes. Is this method only for water based paints? I have enamel and lacquer paints that I have used in the past. Should I be cleaning with enamel reducer and lacquer thinner? Is everyone using water based paint lately? Do you guys thin your own paints or can you buy ready to use air brush paint? I’m just getting back into the hobby after many years.

I always find these useful channels but the creator is AWOL. RIP

One simple trick! *video is 20 min*

Should really be wax not petroleum jelly.

Awesome video! I learned so much from this. The color change technique was a game changer for me. I'm very new at this and did a deep clean between colors. Spent more time cleaning than painting.

Thats a pretty cool technique! You have some great tips!

Excellent and inspiring video, thank you. I believe paint in dropper bottles lasts a lot longer too!

3 for Nurgle! I'm a believer in the 'rule of three' so all is good 😊

I bought one of those Badger gadgets years ago for £10 I think it was. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE BOUGHT IN THE HOBBY 😊 Be careful to turn it off BEFORE you take the spinner out of the paint pot completely else it can get EVERYWHERE 😅😅😅 Now I use a make-up/nail varnish shaker so I can switch on and get on with another task. I still have the Badger device though ❤

I stumbled across this video while I was searching for ways to transfer Citadel paints to dropper bottles. The bottles you recommended are no longer available. Just curious if anyone found a good replacement.

I subscribed for your dental floss joke, love it.

I see so many channels doing this: Don't! When reassembling, insert the needle from THE FRONT. You only have to hit something pushing in from the back to prang an expensive and delicate component. Reattach all the rear parts and then push the needle in from the front. Pull it from the other end until the tip is inside before attaching the nozzle and cap. Then push forwards again all the way and tighten the chuck nut.

I have the same brand of airbrush medium. I worry that the milky white color of the medium will make my Citadel paints whiter. Is this an issue? Great video! Subscribed!

Oh my god, this stuff is BETTER than Lahmian Medium. Took my blends to the next level instantly. Thank you!

Is that golden stuff just a nice bulk sized bottle lahmian medium or whatever gw calls their medium? I ask as it has the white consistency of said medium, but most airbrush mediums ive used in the past were clear.

There is no reason to ever use one or people that use the dishwasher

I have Destroyed 3 airbrushes and one is the one you are using. Badger told me never use one .

For the frosted minis, I would say its very important to be on the safer side when spraying with a rattlecan (which I think is the case for a lot of painters experiencing this). Many painters gain a habit of cheating their spray distance a tiny bit closer with a rattlecan of primer to save that one extra coat to get better coverage in their first and second pass... its a fine line to walk on, but the primer cans usually don't punish this too hard you are starting the painting process anyways so starting over isn't even a big deal if needed. on a varnish to seal your hard work... its the ABSOLUTE opposite... a painter with a rattle can should allow themselves some extra distance to get the tip of the '"mist" onto the model instead. one should also allow a full 24 hour and do 3 coats, its way better to spend money on a few rattlecans of varnish than mess up your projects and have to start over from scratch to correct a messed up model. Also there is a misconception with varnishes, as long as you hit a varnish that is good for plastic/acrylic paint... those cans at the hardward stores will usually work just fine... there is no need to pay Citadel 20 bucks for a can of an equivalent product that is cheaper elsewhere... do test on something that does not matter as much to confirm that the "look" is what you want however... a varnish is a varnish.

Looking at getting into some turbo dork paints. I’ve heard that it’s needed to be air brushed though. Have you found that these are working with being brushed on well?

Your hand gestures…

Good stuff. When less skilled painters try battle damage, it can just look like messy paint. Hard to make it look really refined and purposeful. Bien.

I use my airbrush for cerakote, I cant EVER put ANY oil based anything anywhere near where Im painting, It will cause fisheyes. I use a sliver of teflon tape. I also have to clean my airbrush with acetone or paint thinner.

That's awesome you got that much paint, those bottles look like a vape juice bottle. Hope they are a amazing line up

very interested to see how those mixing sticks work out. they also might be nice sculpting tools as well

Someone has a Venom fetish. 😂

Congrats on the YT funding!! Cheers bro

Thanks Man. Saving this video!

Video explanation is very detailed，very useful，thank you for your explanation

What model of ultrasonic cleaner is that?

Order some micro brass tubing that has a diameter less than the needle. Get some of those dental brushes and with a xacto knife cut away the twisted wire from the rubber handle (easy). Put a drop of super glue on the twisted wire and stick it into the tubing (can put a brush on each end). Now you can reach every part of the airbrush. If the paint has hardened (which with acrylic happens almost immediately) dip the brush into Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner & Restorer, made to dissolve dried acrylic and oil paint,(there’s probably other stuff that works just as well). I only spray acrylics, and never put my airbrush away without cleaning with this method.

The levels of chill in this video is greatly appreciated dude o7 Looking good 👍

​Happy New Year 🎆

I am just getting into the hobby. For a moment, I wished I knew this before starting my Christmas gift but now I am excited for the next mini! GREAT VID!

is it just me or is something wrong with the last 1,5min of the video?

NEVER ENOUGH FIRE PAINT TUTORIALS

ive seen my gf use something exactly like that paint mixer spiny thing for her coffee, might be able to find it at a kitchen store

Superbly explained and clear video. Many thanks.

Git some great tips Cheers

never use Isopropyl alcohol in an ultra sonic cleaner unless you put it in a bag!

Great video!

Great video, since starting to air brush I've probably spent more time stripping it down, cleaning and re-assembling than I have painting so any tips like these to make the process more effective and efficient are most welcome!

RIP Trevor! Huge Black Dahlia fan and getting into airbrushing! Many thanks! Rock On! MetalArt from Metalsiclog!

Very informative, idiot-proof (perfect for me 😆) with where to get the best equipment too (Yes I noticed those thick, stubby nozzles are clumsy AND have a number of those cracked tops with no effort on my part 😠😠😠). A huge Thanks from the UK 👍

What you're calling regulator is the air cap.
