Post Tanksgiving Airbrush Session

Comments:Well started of the day wanting to do a bit more spraying learning more & getting a few more things sprayed while the weather was rather dry & before I did some hand painting

Things I encountered during session:
* started with black tip on new airbrush, but after a while it seemed to clog, and I changed to white tip and then latter to grey tip, both which worked well. I'm still not sure that I clogged the black tip, maybe the ratio of air pressure and other factor may have caused issue. -- need to check out black tip to see if I can dial it in --
** started session with a mix of black & white to make grey, and started with black and then added the white, which now seems wrong. FROM NOW ON, start with white and then add black to get to the medium light grey that works best for priming
*** The "3 in 1 Airbrush Cleaning Pot" was a great buy and has sped up the process of cleaning airbrush between color changes and at the end of the session greatly.

TANKSGIVING Holiday Airbrush Session

This session happened on 11/25/2014, and was a quick set up just to see if I could set up airbrush relatively quickly and spray some primer on recently assembled 15mm figures & AFV's, plus some of parts from son's 1/24th Truck Model

Minwax PolyShade Test Dip & Brush session

Well, It has been a long time since I started setting up this test of non ARMY PAINTER dip test.
Previous part of this process post from a year ago HERE

Brushing set up with a #6 round artist loft (cheap) brush that seemed to work well

1/72 PSC soviet figure while still wet with Minwax PolyShade, Honey Gloss color

15mm PSC soviets. Brushed on Minwax PolyShade, Honey Gloss color

1/72 PSC Germans still wet with a heavy brush. Hoping they lighten up after drying

 Zvezda 1/72nd bushed on Minwax PolyShade, Honey Gloss color

1/72 Armourfast Panther G revisited

Although my focus is currently 15mm, however I could not resist working on this 1/72nd  Panther G form Armourfast.

 Tacks painted for pre base airbrushing. 

Since the model was primed on the sprue, I had to spend time prepping model for gluing.
