Bills layout is a good inspiration

Agree. It has incredible detail and the track plan and industries are outstanding. Check out his channel and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the collab Paul, I enjoyed it. A couple more airbrush thoughts - If this is your first airbrush, you probably want 2 or 3 airbrush sessions under your belt before you even get close to a model. And even then, don't start with your best model. When you shoot a model, shoot off the model first. When it looks right, turn the model upside down and start shooting the bottom first. You're basically giving yourself a chance to "ease into the zone" so to speak. If it doesn't look right, if it doesn't feel right - just stop and regroup. Be patient and it will come to you. Take care - Bill

Thanks Bill! Some viewers mentioned they would like to see even more of your specific airbrushing technique: showing how you mix the paint, specific advice as you do a demo, etc. Kind of a how-to. It might be a good follow on at your channel.

This is an awesome video, gentleman. I follow both of you on KZbin as well as Boomer. You three gentlemen have taught me more than you can imagine if i get hung up on something, I refer to your videos a lot. Thank you for all that you do for the hobby.

Interesting idea on food coloring and targets to practice on! Definitely going to try this as now have an airbrush but not used yet for a myriad of reasons. Great video!

[@HartfordWhaler]

Thank you! Agree, I’m going to be doing the food coloring trick too for a bit. Thanks for watching!
