Even More Tips & Tools For Plastic Model Building - Plus New Portable Compressor

[@eblkheart]

Every time you post videos like this, I go broke. But its worth it! Its actually made my hobby so much better. Thank you!

[@joegkushner]

Always good to see new portable compressors.

[@petergreen7831]

I got the Gaahleri premium GHPM-65 airbrush as I've only ever had cheap airbrushes before and can't fault it.

[@dorsk84]

I found that if you want to get clear parts to look "activated" backing them with some of these paints really works well. You have to see what's best for you.

[@geoffhipwell2198]

That's a great days shopping. There is some fantastic products, all are very useful!, ending with a very impressive compressor & airbrush kit. I could put everything there to use!! Don't know what I would do without your regular 'Scoops' & demonstrations. Keep 'em coming. 👍

[@DarksouIjah]

These are my favorite videos of yours.

[@bluefinrob9741]

Thanks for all the reviews. Really helps, slept on the Gaahleri compressor combos now they all are sold out. I nabbed this lil one GT-108 for now. I have been wanting to get in to an airbrush set up and saw the first review and really liked the over all quality and value you conveyed.

I have been looking for a airbrush kit like this seeing I live a small apartment. I recently got back into the hobby and this would be great. I remember the sanding sticks really well seeing I live in Canada and have purchased there stuff before but most of all I love the idea of the jars. Thanks you for all your great videos I know they will help to improve my skills over time.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice compressor and airbrush. Nice price to start. The other stuff is really nice as well.

[@DaneSaysStuff]

I'm still super impressed with my GHAD-39 from Gaahleri! It's nice to see a budget oriented brand that seems to give a damn. I have a feeling I'll end up with more of their products as time goes on.

[@gaahleristudio]

I'm sure you won't regret your choice.

[@firemedic105ns]

​@@gaahleristudio i have bought 2 of your airbrushes (a trigger model GHAD 68 and a standard GHAD 39) and I am absolutely ecstatic with the two of them. They are some of the best I found for my limited budget.

[@gaahleristudio]

@@firemedic105ns glad to hear they are helpful!

[@mgl6289]

​@@firemedic105ns What compressor do you use?

[@jasonwalton1985]

Seems to be a nice little compressor and brush. I'm still in love with that grex, that is one wicked brush and seems to be incredibly versatile.

[@heftys13]

Yeah they’re Compressor is a really good haven’t had any problems with it. My next thing to buy is airbrush from them now

[@brianlundberg5163]

Just recommended their airbrush/compressor to a friend yesterday. It seems perfect. I have my own compressor set to 20psi for my existing equipment anyhow, and I use a grex valve to adjust it manually from there. With this, there is no need for the grex valve, and the compressor is already at the perfect psi! I need one for my own arsenal. It is perfect for the quick jobs too.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Oh yeah I was shocked as to how well it performs.

[@REKlaus]

Thanks for another good video. Going to have to watch for the holographic markers.

[@madthinker6465]

Amazing vid! I get my plastic bottles in a perfume store here in Medellin Colombia.

[@treborrrrr]

At 33:10 the line shows quite a bit of pulsating. Wondering if it's the airbrush or compressor causing that. Or if the pressure wasn't turned up enough. For those wanting to use this kit for more detail work it might be good to know. Almost anything will work fine if you're just blasting out a base coat.

[@larrydelaruelle5778]

Thanks for the tips. I am very impressed with the Gaahleri products that you have demonstrated. Looking forward to the nipper test.

[@Avalanche523]

I like that closable Mason jar tip. Good stuff Rex. Same with the sanding toothpicks. I never saw those before. 👍

[@btapper80]

Walmart sells those mason jars for $3 or $5 depending on the size, I got a few a couple months ago. Even acetone doesn’t do anything to the seals on them. For some reason they’re sold in the glass Tupperware and not in the canning section.

[@modelrestorations]

I think the holographic silver marker would work wonders for some 00 kits.

[@atomicetrigan]

on the note of 00, there's also a holographic Trans-Am Red which seems neat.

[@krzysztofmathews738]

[@devinrussell420]

Hey Robert;I recieved my brand new 3rd generation No Name Cool Tooty airbrush compressor in the mail today,and I can't wait to test it out with my new Badger Patriot 105 dual action gravity feed airbrush.I just need to make a trip down to my local hobby shop tomorrow to buy a 6' Badger 1/8" braided airhose,a bottle of GSI Creos Mr. Hobby Leveling Thinner,and a Badger quick release adapter set for my new Badger Patriot 105 airbrush,then I can get to testing out my new airbrush setup.The only downside is,I don't have a spray booth as I live in an appartment complex;so I'm limited by the amount of space that I have in my room I would have to completely re-arrange my room,to be able to fit a foldable & portable spray booth in my room. I'll have to invest in the $120 Master Airbrush foldable & portable spray booth;so I could airbrush some of the plastic model kits,that I will be building in the future without stinking up the house or damaging my health.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Those holographic pens look good. Unfortunately not been able to find any supplier in the UK. But that silver one could make good barrel heat effects.

[@thetobin8or]

Try cleaning the value & O ring. And with A very Tiny amount of vasaline lube the valve shaft.

[@CF_Sapper]

would you recommend the gaahleri compressor to someone looking to dip their toes into the air brushing world?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Oh yes, Micro Mesh is a good brand

[@bmw128racer]

That clamp has the trigger backwards for some reason: Carpenter's clamps have the trigger in the inside.

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

The airbrush is a simple fix it needs to be deep cleaned Blow it out with an air gun oil it and put it back together. And I guarantee it'll work I never ever had to replace them put I keep all my Air brushes super clean and oiled.. I airbrush all day it's my job 12 hours a day .

The bottles and jars with the seal and lock tops can also be found at Ikea if you happen to live near one. Not sure how the price compares to the hobby stores though.

[@Fred-wu9rt]

That airbrush set looks suspiciously like some Sagud airbrushes I have. They all work great for me. Again another great video.

[@chauffeurmarco]

I have the same problem of air constenly coming out. It is the O ring which the trigger pin goes in. It swells when cleaning it in the ultrasonic so the hole shrink and it is too tight for the trigger pin. Don't know if it is the cleaning solution that I use or the heat. Good thing tha NEOECO provide me with some extra O rings. But today I decided to use it and it was doing the same thing. I put a drop of glycerin and it seems to work fine for now. Maybe because I haven't use it for a long time. I prefer your Badger system.

[@jerryrichards8172]

If you have a harbor freight store you can get the same clamp $1.00 and many more clamps also.

Great video. Thanks for the review. Would you suggest buying that or spending more on a better airbrush so that you wouldn't have to upgrade later, or maybe just get this as a primer painting airbrush?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Well this is a very good set, I was shocked as to how good it is. The airbrush included is good for broad strokes like primers and overall base painting. I will always point to a GSI, Grex or Badger airbrush and a $100 compressor but at $50 you can't go wrong with this set

How are you doing today brother did you ever get a chance to look into that RoboCop 2 Cain for the colors. I’m trying to figure out what spray can colors I need to use that won’t end up tacky I know he has like a dark gunmetal gray that covers a lot of the body and then he has like a machined silver for all the other parts. If you have any recommendations on the type of spray paint, I should grab please let me know. It is definitely a model made out of plastic. I think I sent you the link already last time we talked.

[@martinarrieta4536]

Huh. There was a mystery part sitting around my pile of airbrushes and I couldn’t figure out what it was. It was a Badger air valve, thought it was a nozzle assembly of some sort.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for those mason jars. Looks like a better way to store acetone and lacquer thinner.

Just ordered the compressor after I saw you use it. Question how hard it is to get parts for the air brush? Maybe you could post a link to them. Have you ever tried to rebuild the badger air valve? I have other ab I have. thanks

While brick and mortar stores usually don't stock badger parts, badger does, and will typically have a part to you in just a few days, should Amazon not stock it.

Have you heard of Brush Cam? I got a Micro Mark book in and it's on the cover of it. I don't know if it's a winner or not. I do love those markers and I wish I could find those jars easy down here where I live. It be a hit or miss when you might happen to come upon them at a thrift store. I would have to go online and buy that stuff. We do have a Hobby Lobby but I pay thru the nose just to get 1 jar.
