Please continue doing miniatures. I might suggest Camo schemes/patterns for planes and tanks as potential future uses/hints for H&S Airbrushes.

[@VanguardTactics]

This is a great idea

[@harderairbrush]

Thanks for writing in - great idea. W

I know I keep saying it, but every day is a school day - and I've been model making and painting since 1971/72, been lucky enough to be published and I've won the occasional prize (it's not really about competition for me, but therapy, but from time to time I was encouraged to enter events). The subtlety and the excellence of H&S airbrushes in skilled hands never ceases to amaze me.

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

This was a great tutorial. I actually have the perfect model to try this technique on. Thanks for sharing!

[@nittneylion84]

Great job. I’ll will be reconsidering my approach in future. Another tool in the box

[@monnubains6184]

This is a great tutorial. The airbrush looks amazing too!

[@harderairbrush]

Thanks buddy :-) W

Amazing content guys! very helpful :)

Holy moly, I had an image of Stephen as a great player, trainer and overall big hearty lad for the Warhammer hobby…by good can he paint and explain…“Vanguard Painting“ when?

[@VanguardTactics]

That’s extremely kind of you to say. Thank you so much.

[@christiangruening352]

@@VanguardTactics Some day when I meet you at a show or something I just want to thank you personally for what you have done for our hobby. I hope you drink German craft beer 🍺.

Between these videos and the Poorhammer guys buying a high end H&S airbrush for their airbrush video and praising just how genuinely ridiculously good it is, I'm convinced these are the way to go for more detailed work. Though my $70 (NZD) Formula airbrush has served me well for basic airbrush work on miniatures, might need to trear myself when that new Infinity releases!

[@-MiK-]

When are you going to be selling spare parts for the Ultra 2024?

[@Airbrushkid]

I see no reason for parts unless you lost a part or drop it. Their to busy trying to get the new Infinity 2024 out which is behind based on what they said.

[@-MiK-]

@@Airbrushkid unfortunately accidents do happen so my question stands ;)

That reminds me. How do you do the “bubble back” technique on Ultra 2024? I’ve tried several approaches and nozzle makes it “tough”. So I mostly swizzle stir

[@S.A.S.H.]

Two months and no Warwick.... My Saturday morning ritual is seriously lacking.

[@MrGingGangGooly]

I am wondering if Warwick has left. Shame, as like you I really enjoyed the regular weekly slots

[@S.A.S.H.]

@@MrGingGangGooly completely agree.

[@glennylebeau4492]

Great to see Stephen back for some miniature painting. Alot of people say that an airbrush booth is an absolute must have, but i have noticed that you never use one in any of your videos. What are your thoughts on a spray booth, are they really needed?

[@harderairbrush]

Controversial question, it seems ;-) of course, one will never be a bad thing! We don't use it for two reasons: firstly, we are fortunate to have a large, well ventilated studio and secondly, we ALWAYS use a spray out pot. Much of the airborne particulate created when airbrushing is done when cleaning, and the spray out pot comprehensively deals with this, as the exhaust on it is filtered. I think that if you don't have good ventilation in your workspace, then a booth is a very good idea. One way to check (slightly weird, but very useful) is to blow your nose after a painting session. If the contents are a human norm, all is good... if they are the colour of the model you just painted, get a booth and/ or a mask. Hope that helps!

Do you clear-coat miniatures after completion ? If so, which clear do you use please ?

[@kylekeenan3485]

I wanted to ask if there will be a 0.2mm head for the Ultra 2024, I have really been enjoying mine but now wanting more precision for different tasks and you don't currently sell anything other than the 0.4mm head.

[@jacobforna]

As a beginner should i get the ultra or the evolution. For miniature painting ?

[@iggirodriguez8437]

Hello Jacob, i believe its best you get the ultra, if you haven't had any experience with airbrush its a good overall and teaches you trigger control, the evo its great but best after getting comfortable with the prior model ! Hope this helps

[@giorgoschrysochoos8874]

Well done! What psi settings are you using? I've tried 20 psi and 50/50 mix on Vallejo model color and had some clogging issues.

[@harderairbrush]

Normally around 25psi… it’s really no problem at all to thin more, if you wish… Model Color needs a little more than Model Air. Just watch your wetness - never allow the gloss to develop more than a satin finish whilst you’re painting and then you’ll never over apply… W Unless your spraying on a gloss coat, in which case, only go up to gloss!

[@MrGingGangGooly]

What’s happened to the weekly slot of H&S?? Will you be continuing / is Warwick still the GM @H&S?…

[@harderairbrush]

Hey buddy - yes absolutely - I've just been VERY busy getting the INFINITY 2024 finished and had to prioritise that. It's coming on Sept 25th :-) and we are so happy with what we've done. I'll be back on the regular soon too :-) W bit.ly/3AJETgs
