You can also push a popsicle stick up to the tip of the airbrush at an angle and spray it against the end of the stick and let it splatter from there. You get a much more controlled splatter this way.

[@islamerica3032]

Popsicle stick makes some of the dots more like splatter drops than dots.....this way makes perfectly circular dots which makes for a more realistic look.

Seriously?! It's that easy?!! I've been trying to figure this out for years! Thank you! Can't wait to go try it!

[@JayAdan]

Yeah! Give it a go!

[@Samuelkelly90]

Cheers - I am doing some wound markers using clear 15mm bases and tamiya clear red so this technique should be perfect for getting good splatters!

[@nickperna976]

I know this an old video, but god... thanks for saying what that mac valve was!!! I was about to go on a Google hunt for whatever that was because it looked so useful! So many videos dont actually tell you what the tools and attachments are.

[@JayAdan]

You're welcome! I appreciate you letting me know this was helpful. People generally like to tell me that my videos are too long. lol

[@RabbitsInBlack]

I was trying to figure out how to do this with an airbrush. Thanks. I was thinking I would need a spray bottle instead.

[@al-oh8fq]

what was that ultra silent compressor that you used in this video?

[@taziozaffarone6899]

THIS IS WHAT i'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A LONG TIME, THANKS, I'LL GO WITH IT. THANIKS

[@907Ronald]

Hell yes...I needed this. Thanks

[@patrickcanter2831]

Excellent explanation and example. Thanks.

[@edgararturogomezmeisel2217]

Thats great. In engineering structural analysis we use this kind of speckle using a computational technique called Digital Image correlation

[@LSDJester67]

This will be perfect for painting X-Wing bases!! Thanks!

[@care2think611]

This stippling, splatter effect is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

[@mthead_creations]

You are an absolute legend!!! I was wondering how to do this for a Jean Grey-Dark Phoenix figure I'm doing!!

[@JayAdan]

Awesome! I'm so pleased you found this useful. It's something I use with startling regularity.

[@briw8929]

does this only work on duel action or could say a paasche h do this too ? single action needle adjustment

[@JayAdan]

Bri w In theory I think it could work but I've not tried it.

[@ta24u]

dude this is a great tip, beats using tongue depressors or toothbrush handles like i used airbushing the stone effects on tshirts.

[@JayAdan]

+ta24u I know that a couple of times I said that it's not that controllable, but it's WAY more controllable than doing those other methods.

[@ta24u]

Definitely the other ways fine for open area but this way you am have a bit more control over the spray

[@DrDeathmonger]

That is an ace tip! Thanks for sharing it. :)

[@Klaymour28]

wow, thats awesome, I will be using this a lot!! thank you

[@chenksR]

what do you call that valve you use to alter the pressure?

[@JayAdan]

Iwata calls it a Mac Valve.

[@ganapatikitty]

What compressor are you using?

[@JayAdan]

Not sure which one that was. Probably my California Air Tools compressor.

[@michaelcalhoun5241]

This was awesome I can't wait to try this out, thanks for the tip

[@chaucer44]

good tutorial! Thanks. I'm going to try this.

[@nightshadedesign]

Very helpful! Thanks so much.

[@Katelynsdabest]

[@LukeGeaney]
