What I love about your videos, is how you're so relatable to the average modeller. Your skill and experience produce incredible models, but you explain and work in a way that makes your work so relatable, and doesn't intimidate the average modeller by over complicating things like a lot of YT'ers who say "Oh you must have X paint at X ratio and use an X airbrush and X blades and X brushes and spray at X distance and paint THIS way and and and ..... " Can't wait till the next video! :D

Great explanation. 2 tips for beginners with the airbrush for carkits. Get some plastic spoons to try to see how the color comes out over the thinner,they are good also for triggercontrol pratice,Plastic bottles will works also good,specialy empty dishwasher fuild or bleach bottle. They got a bit rougher structure,you can see then how you get with primer a flat and even surface,on this way you can work away small scratches from sandpaper or the scriber. 2 For deep cleaning the nozzle 1 use a empty Tamiya 10 ml bottle 50% of Cheap laquer thinner,and leave that overnight. Then the nozzle is clean and ready for use. The needle i put in a Vallejo bottle 75%full with Cheap laquer thinner. Put the needle in the bottle alomost to the bottom.With a crocodile clip on the top It will clean itself overnight. Just make sure the bottle is standing firm in a 17Ml tamiya bottle or use 2 side tape!!

Hi Jun, great explanation for learners to airbrushing. Like you, I do not consider myself an expert at them. I have built many 1/12 motorcycles. I first started with the cheaper $20 airbrush and they were sort of great at first. Then after some time when I thought I was getting used to them, I often found mistakes in my paint( your suggestion of having a covered box for drying was great). I did buy one day an Iwata Neo and found my paintwork elevated without any real trying. I have since bought another 4 or 5 Iwata Airbrushes, the Revolution range and an Eclipse. I must say, even though the Eclipse is a mid range pricy AB, it is sooo nice to work with(it's my workhorse). The Revolution range I have also cover down to the small size needles. So different brush for different jobs. I don't go so much for colour groups but that is just a personal preferance. The misting and paint flow is just leaps and bounds ahead of the $20 airbrushes from Amazon or Ebay. For anyone doing airbrushing, when you think you really like the hobby, do yourself a favour and buy an expensive AB - $200-300 worth

I still have not used the airbrush I bought, but will soon. There is another KZfaq channel you might enjoy, called Barbatos Rex. Mr. Rex is expert with an airbrush and virtually any kind of paint, and I aspire to be even half as good as he is some day. But I appreciate your videos very much, and am glad you also like Tamiya paints which are my favorite.

Late to the party. You are by far my favorite KZfaq car model builder. Everything ive seen from you is just so clean. I just watched your video of the blue R34 earlier today, lol. Keep up the excellent work, bud!! I use a timbertech airbrush and compressor combo with a 3L tank. Its my first one and it runs like a champ

@mark.us84 5 ай бұрын

Great tips! My tip: start with a cheap model. I began with a tamiya ducati 916. Learned a lot during the build, how to use the airbrush, how to use putty and testing different ways how to thin the colors. The complete build was not so fine like i wish so i bought the same model again and build it a second time. Take more time for the build and it was better than the first one.

What kind and capacity is that little compressor

@JunsMiniGarage 8 ай бұрын

The compressor came with the pointzero airbrush kit. It doesn’t have a reservoir tank to store air so it will kick in whenever you hold down airbrush trigger. Air pressure seems to be consistent and stable despite long painting sessions(it will get hot). The highest pressure I had set it to was 60psi. It might be able to go higher but I don’t wanna kill it.😂

Hello! I appreciate these videos so much! Is there a downside to using a heat gun/hair dryer to speed up drying time between coats?

@JunsMiniGarage 2 ай бұрын

Hello and thank you very much! There are things I would keep in mind while using a hair dryer or heat gun to speed up drying time, one is that if the body has masking tapes on it(for example if the car is getting a two tone paint job), then I wouldn’t wanna use any heat sources because when it warms up the car it will soften the paint slightly and create marks from the masking tapes. And it will require additional sanding and polishing to remove those marks. Number two is that although warming it up speeds things up, you might wanna let the paint/thinner dry naturally and evenly because the thinner has the capability of self leveling. And heating it up might increase the possibility of having orange peels effect because the paint is “forced” to dry more quickly before it has time to self level. I would mostly use hairdryer for parts that don’t require smooth surfaces.(interior, chassis). Thank you for the questions and I hope my answers are helpful to you. Happy building!👍

Do you recommend using water-based paints for the car body, for beginners? Like the ones for miniatures, Vallejo, Citadel, etc

@JunsMiniGarage 8 ай бұрын

I would recommend using model lacquer paint for car body especially when you are looking to wetsand and polish it in the final stage. Lacquer is also tougher and more “scratch resistant” than acrylic paints. Water based paint is good if you are looking to create a damaged, abandoned or fully weathered look for your project which you aren’t planning to polish it to a mirror like finish. If you build tanks, armors and fighter jets then water based paints are perfect. 👍

In my case I believe the most important part is buying a quality airbrush. Forget the cheap Amazon deals. For the price of a few kits ( $$$ ) buy a name brand airbrush ( IWATA...etc.. ) and the airbrush will help teach you verus a cheap one. You get what you pay for.

The cap is supposed to be air tight but sometimes the rubber seal isn’t sealing properly. Turning it basically is making sure the cap is sealing right and tight.
