Hi Everybody, I have added an Index to Page 1 to help everybody navigate through this blog.
Hopefully this way you will be able to quickly find what you want to see.

 

Wow that NMM it's mind blowing! Fantastic Job man.

 

Thanks for the index.

I had to take a few minutes and go back through your entire blog. It is jaw dropping to say the least.

You bring a huge amount of color to life on all your work! My favorites overall are your painting for your stegadon, especially the howdah:



The Transformation of Kadon!!!:



And I also really like your GS molds that you used to create bases and other bits and bobs that add huge amount of great Lizardy detail to your works!

Thanks for the inspiration!

 

Sure @Crowsfoot, this is what I got:

1. Airbrush: Iwata Eclipse dual action, gravity feed

2. Compresor: Iwata Smart Jet Pro

Remember to also buy all the other stuff ( acrilic thiner, cleaner, cleanning pot etc)

To be honest I havent had much time to practice with it but the times I have I have loved it.

Let me know if you need any ither advice

 

I bought Scale-Color from Scale75 paints, They work for both airbrush and brush. Although I haven't yet tried them with the airbrush, I have heard that this is a hard range of paints to learn airbrushing with because they are very thick and need a lot of acrilic thiner.

However I bought them because they have really bibrant collors, they dry very mate, and their metalics are simply the best out there. I have used them with a brush ( to paint my golden serpent entry ) and I can't recomend them enough! They are simply the best paints I have used this far ( keep in mind that I dont mind having to thin them )

If I remember correcly the price for the Scale75 pot is about 3.5USD which is a little beter then the GW air range at 4.25USD.

I have also heard thet the Vallejo Air color is a good alternative, however I have never used it in any way so I am not sure about how it works.

 

@Crowsfoot, I have never air brushed, but many who have praise this brand:

http://www.warcolours.com

They are made and shipped from Malta, and are rather inexpensive. I have some of their colours and the quality is really high. Also, they are very thin and I have read that they are good for air brushing straight from the bottle or with only minimal thinning.

 

Very nice man! Cant wait to see what you do with it! What model are you going to be trying it on? My test subject is going to be a high elf dragon

 

No problem, mate. I think Citadel colours are pretty great, so I'm sure you made a good call. With that amount of colours you won't have to do a lot of mixing of paints, which makes the results more reproducible. Waiting eagerly to see both of your results!

 

My experience tip to you;
1buy a big awesome Dino.
2Dont get the paint too thin.
3Spray the beast!
4Love your Airbrush.

Maybe you already started becouse it was a while ago you posted something;-)
And i think you will do great! You have an understanding of colours i want to achieve!
