When you run that floor varnish through the airbrush, do you just clean it out with soap and water, alcohol, lacquer thinner?

[@scalewarmachines]

Soapy water followed by airbrush cleaner. It's pretty essential - dries rock hard.

[@cemaa4338]

wonderful!!!!!!

[@markdevries3600]

What color did you use for the uniform base?

[@scalewarmachines]

Used a Vallejo Primer German Green Brown with "canvas" and "light mud" highlights from Panzer Aces/Vallejo.

[@stevemathias7189]

Hi what brand of brushes are you using

[@scalewarmachines]

Mostly Historex Kolinsky Sable with some Lifecolor and Vallejos.

Muito bom!

[@erikyoun8871]

I was thinking of doing a bust till I watched this, what a pain

[@scalewarmachines]

They're actually not too bad. Way quicker than an armour model or aircraft and so if your modelling time is very limited, they are fairly quick way to complete a modelling project and practise figure painting techniques at the same time.
