Hell, I'm eager to do so after watching this breakdown and actually think I'm capable of really utilizing it. Thanks, Vince. You're a true patrician.

Agreed. I've watched most airbrush miniature-painting-tutorials and this is one of the most helpful out there. However, calling it "Ultimate guide" is stretching it way too far. I know he made more videos but he should have numbered them like: "Ultimate guide to the Airbrush 1, 2, 3, 4" etc. - Like what other equipment should i get? - And what about: "Before first use, do this". If you buy a new airbrush Always pick it apart as much as possible. Clean it. Everywhere. Use mini pipe cleaners. Then lubricate the surfaces where the o-rings sit with Glycerin and then "massage" the o-rings between your fingers and lubricate them with Glycerin. Put them back and shoot some paint thinner through with full air throttle to clear out any excess lube. Most paints have Glycerin added as a thinner so while Glycerin is pretty much less harmless to most paints, Never Ever use silicone oil on the o-rings in an airbrush, which is otherwise the standard lube for o-rings. Silicone oil/grease creeps and spreads like a plague over every surface and if micro-traces of it passes through the nozzle it will kill your paint cause it usually dissolve acrylic paint, among other things.

When I started getting to using an Airbrush, I instantly scooped up a Iwata HP-CS but I had studied intensively before using it 1. I should state, people need to study on cleaning and keeping to the rule of working in 1-2 minutes before doing a quick clean, just like you would with a brush. I think that's a very big thing people aren't naturally used to when starting out unless if you're extremely paranoid and constantly on it, a good pre-cursor is to put an alarm so you get the muscle memory over time 2. Always remember, put in the airflow improver and thinner into the cup first, it helps to give a small coat of protection inside the airbrush before painting. It's also good to mix your paints in a separate cup first before pouring it into the airbrush so you can check consistency. Yes, you can mix it straight into your airbrush cup but you're at risk of paint drying inside the cup especially if you're not used to point no.1 as I've stated 3. Always test your paints on a surface or water color paper, this also means testing your PSI and seeing what works for your mix or specific paints. It will help prevent spider-webbing and allow you to troubleshoot and learn how your airbrush works 4. It can be a pain when it comes to practice, but it is necessary. It is always the same case with even brush work. It is understandable that you may not have a test model to work with but that's why having water color paper on hand 5. I kept to these rules personally and I've kept my airbrush's longevity really well due to following these rules. I've had the needle stuck and spider webbing before but they're easy to troubleshoot when you know why your airbrush is doing that. Remember, treat your airbrush really well and it will give you results the better upkeep you do with it
@jakessofa81872 жыл бұрын
Great video Vince! some really good points for all levels. Personally from experience now I think more importantly than a good airbrush first is a good compressor. 3L tank, water trap, and many of these come with a basic airbrush. the initial compressor I had didn't have a tank, causing the air to start to become hot after a period of use, which lead to the air cooling in the hose, forming water droplets, and then spluttering with the paint. I had no idea what the problem was for a long time as it would start to happen about 40mins in. Drove me nuts. Ended up finding out the issue and got a new compressor, followed by a new Iwata.

I may have not followed your advice an bought a top of the H&S Infinity CR plus 2 in 1 Airbrush kit and the Sparmax duel outlets Compressor. However being as I've done construction for decades and understand how to be very careful with fine tools, I'm not that overly worried about using them and breaking them. So far I've only done priming with them and found them to be such a helpful tool. But then again I been so busy as of late I've not done any brush painting since I got them. Maybe my work load will taper off some in the near future and I'll be to try out many of things that you covered in this video with my 'new' toy.

It's best practice to avoid using backflow to mix paint because generally airbrushes are not designed to do this and it wears out the seals by applying pressure from the wrong side. Either pre-mixing or using an old brush to mix the paint in the cup works fine. Same with cleaning, either blow the cleaner through the airbrush into a waste container or do a quick disassembly and cleanup.

I have to note that my first airbrush is Iwata HP-BH and thus far it is working very well because I watched ALL of the tutorials before buying it. Paint dilution is not rocket science. So it is possible to avoid spending more money on a cheaper brush if you're _very_ serious about using one and do extensive research on its proper use.

Pretty awesome work, well done. I am already well versed in using the Airbrush, since I am doing scifi scale models, but am soon starting to paint some 3D printed figures, which is a totally different thing. Good to see that I can use the air brush and to what extend.

15:20 That is why I only use Thinner for inks (while sometimes using some Flow Improver for regular acrylics). They won't cause glogs, so might as well have the benefit of drying faster with only Thinner as a.... thinner ;)

Great airbrush how-to! Something I'd really like to see in a future video (or even as a product for sale) is a cross-brand paint set that you would approve of. Everyone says that different brands have different colors that work better or worse, so which colors from Vallejo do you recommend? P3? Reaper? AK? Citadel? Who else? What exact bottle of paint does Vince reach for when he needs wash specific color? I would pay good money for a hand picked assortment of a few dozen individual paints that Vince Venturella is willing to say are his preferred version of each color.

inks from Schmincke, Liquitex, Dalor Rowney, or Windsor Newton go smoothly through every airbrush without needing much tweeking with thinners. Other than that, paint wise every brand can be used in an airbrush, with the right amount of thinning.

This may sound stupid, but I think the one thing I would have liked to have seen covered would be changing out the O-rings. I believe my Iwata may need this, but I'm unsure of how to change such a tiny part without ripping it.
@VinceVenturella2 жыл бұрын
I'll be honest, I've never changed them in 7 years, so I am not sure I would be the one to ask. :)

Can confirm that Streaking Grime and enamel panel line washes are magic. I don't know if I bought a wrong odourless thinner, but my oil washes turn out noticeably thicker than enamel washes, and they are harder to control on the miniature. So enamels are great for beginners who want to use a ready made product.
@naphaneal2 жыл бұрын
Try gloss varnish before using washes. It reduces surface friction

Love enamels for sure for this purpose.

Nice video as always Vince. One question and one comment: 1. Question - there exists a line of thought that the airbrush thinner actually makes the paints dry out a lot quicker (leading to more dry-tip), so some users swear by only using airbrush flow improver - have you ever found that to be the case? 2. One tip - if you use the fluid cup lid (that came with the airbrush), it will greatly reduce the paint from drying out inside the airbrush fluid cup - reducing things like clogs, etc for new users.
@VinceVenturella2 жыл бұрын
The thinner will make it dry faster, because it will evaporate more quickly than the water and medium in the paint, but that is why I have flow improver in my mix, that slows the drying process. :)
