How To Airbrush True Fire Real Flames Airbrushing Tutorial

[@Aeneas911]

One of the most comprehensive AB videos. Thx & grtz from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@MackieBass]

Glad you like man. Thanks

[@ianhoyle8459]

Your video presentation, narration and content is exceptional. Therefore it’s obvious you very much have a passion for your craft and this is in turn is infectious. I’ve never tried to use an airbrush but you certainly make me want to have a go, thank you.

[@MackieBass]

Thanks, really appreciate your comment. Good luck with it.

[@simon2knine]

You make those flames look so real and so easy.

[@MackieBass]

That's because they are real..I don't tell anyone, but I use petrol instead of paint...like a mini flame thrower ;)

[@simon2knine]

@@MackieBass lol...Thinking about your past true flame airbrush work... The way that you create the illusion of depth...It's a 10 out of 10 from me..Not forgetting those two red indian skulls. You are a true artist mate..

Loud and clear. This is the best tutorial I’ve found so far. Keep it up!

[@joeortiz3455]

Thank you Mackie that was a very informative lesson, looking good ,stay creative!

[@MackieBass]

Glad you like it!

[@benblankenship5892]

Sweeeeet bro forreal!! Made it a lot simpler that the countless other videos I’ve watched. Love your color combos too. Instead of using white base on every layer like a lot do. You just proved that it can be done not usin white and it still bright color. Matter of fact it’s brighter than some I’ve seen where they use white for the base of every layer then they put the desired color over top it. To me it’s jus more wasted paint doin it that way and can make layers kinda run together. Would love to see it done with a little more complex design, like if you were gone put it on a car or something like that. My new fav artist bud

[@MackieBass]

Good to hear that man. Glad you like it! Plenty more to come at some point!

[@JFlyer1973]

Dam glad I found your channel man! Just starting out in airbrush to do reverse flames on clear plastic rc bodies and it just snowballed from there. Love your work and your approach. And you just keep doing this by yourself man. This video was awesome and showed exactly what aspiring artists need to see! Those flames are sick as hell man. I can not wait to try it! 🤘 Keep these vids coming!!!!

[@MackieBass]

Glad it helped man. Practice and you'll get same results or better!

[@Djcatdad]

This is awesome Thanks for the run through, you’ve definitely taught me something more and Inspired me to experiment with this

[@MackieBass]

Glad I could help!

[@MackieBass]

Well, thank you kindly.

[@michaelheald1147]

You made that look easy great video dude

[@MackieBass]

Thanks Michael

[@bradleybatt1401]

Dude. How have you only got 15.4k subscribers?! That seems ludicrous. I found out about you from Matt Hudson (DirtyGarageGuy/TheWorkshop) from the whole Del fiasco. Started watching some of your other videos and I was like this dude is sick. You like the same heavy-rock/metal that I do. You also like heavy guitars same as me. As someone who has no current intention of airbrushing you certainly make me want to lol. This tutorial is so crystal clear and well explained a child could learn from yourself. No bullsh!t you honestly deserve far more subscribers and views with the majority of your content being down to earth and no nonsense. Love from down SouthWest dude.

[@MackieBass]

Wow, thanks mate. I really appreciate the kind words. The subs count is a funny thing, and I can't really get my head around it. Looks like I need to stick to my day job, huh :) LOL If you don't mind me asking, where did you find my channel again? Did Matt mention it on any of his videos? I did invite him to one of my bike shows, but he never showed up. I've not been watching that much You Tube lately, so a little bit out of touch on these. Again, thanks for your comment! Speak soon!

[@bradleybatt1401]

@@MackieBass So I found out about you and you’re work as Matt has mentioned you too many times to tell you specific videos where he says off my head. But he has a entire series dedicated to Del’s “Street fighter build” which Matts nicknamed the “HDS” series. In which Matt mentions how Del wanted you to do some artwork on his bike etc. Then Del’s tone changes midway and you’re name is never mentioned again on Del’s video series. Matts moved back up north now. He has a livestream every weekend at like 10am. Would definitely be cool to get you on there as a guest! :)

[@bradleybatt1401]

In terms of the sub and view count I think its based off how many videos you upload frequently and to a schedule. Matt would defo know more. But yeah it's stupid because high quality videos like yours aren't something you want to rush to make because they'll be sh!t. So KZbin doesn't work in your favour. That being said people like Matt was also small when I started watching him. So him mentioning other genuine people is how I've found out about a load of people like yourself. So there is still hope. You definitely deserve some more views though dude. @@MackieBass

[@MackieBass]

Thank you for that info. And yes, Del changed his mind without letting me know, which was very annoying at the time, as I spent a lot of time and effort designing the artwork. If he told me what he was planning I wouldn't waste my time. A bit of a dick move if you ask me, but hey, what can you do ;)

[@MackieBass]

It sure is a mystery with them subs. I do find that great videos don't do very well, where the shitty ones are usually very popular? I don't get it.

[@zimba599]

Hi there bro. Thank you so much for showing us how to make really good and realistic flames. Now we can go practice, and that's just awesome! Thanks !!!!

[@MackieBass]

My pleasure 😊

[@dazthejazz1640]

Perfect timing Mackie! I just picked up an 87 XV700 that has a ghost flame job on the tank (which will need sanding and clearcoat) and I'd like to have a shot at the front and rear fenders, which need paint.

[@MackieBass]

Send me some pics when finished please

[@dazthejazz1640]

MackieBass no worries mate. It might be a while though. I’d like to get it running, literally a basket case. It needs a lot of work. And it’s cold and wet here atm. Not good for painting.

[@bogg1293]

nice one Mackie looking forward to more stuff

[@MackieBass]

Working on it.

[@joshm8661]

Hell yea looks good. My problem with the true fire is way over doing it. I need to try a small piece like that and see how it comes out. Thanks for the great info in the video and have a good one. Cheers 🍻

[@MackieBass]

Yeah, same here. Sometimes you need to step back and look at it from a distance.

[@Rob64z900]

You made that look so easy. Cracking job, a lot different to the flames you used to seeing the 60's and 70's. Take care mate, hopefully see you at deeping. 👍

[@MackieBass]

Yes mate, Deeping should be ace. They really done the venue toa great standard for the Covid shit... look forward to it.

[@Broxi57]

That's so easy Mackie! In fact, I might have a go myself ... what could possibly go wrong? Lollllll Great stuff bro, loving your work.

[@northernrider780]

Mackie, I could use some advice if you can help, it's not airbrushing specifically, but I am wanting to use some tape to go around all the shut lines of my Street Triple, it's a bit of a project for me over winter when I am off work. I could use some advice on brand of tape though, something that will stick well, but when I want to remove it, won't leave lots of residue. Ideally a bright colour too, thinking probably red, or white. Your input would be massively appreciated :D

[@MackieBass]

Well...I can't really advise here as don't have that much experience in that field. Had a quick look on eBay and there's lot of options for vinyl tape, worth looking around I guess ;)

[@REKLESSWOLVES1]

Mackie you absolute LEGEND, ive just started doing airbrushing, bought myself an Iwata CP-HS and 0.3 needle kit and a sh*t load of Inspire solvent paints from custom paints uk about 2 months ago as ive always wanted to have a go at Mike Lavallee`s True Fire ,watched all his videos and yours when you did Delboys Bike and i`m hooked, ive started with a black tin panel too, base coated it, but ive been using Base Red for my first layer and then Candy Red, not white as you have done so i`m curious how yours will differ to mine, it`s f*cking hard Man to get the licks just right ain`t it LOL, respect to you tho brother you make is look so easy and natural flowing, that Candy Gold you have there,, is that the Fools Gold they have on their website as that`s the only Candy Gold i could see on there so i bought that one, i also got some Candy Yellow just in case, i noticed when you did Delboys Bike you used `Fools Gold Candy` on that one, cracking video mate, keep them coming because i love this shit. Cheers. Claypole.

[@MackieBass]

Hey man, if you use white base you will find it it brighter red, as red base alone will never give you the same coverage. I use Candy Gold, as fools gold is more orange than gold, it could work, but don't overload it. Glad you like it, I may do one for green and blue flames. They are pretty cool too!
