In this video I show you how I go about airbrushing a kit built locomotive with my trusty Harder and Steenbeck Evolution 2 in 1 airbrush, compressor and of course Tamiya paints. I also show you the cleaning process prior to painting one of your own kits. For resprays of RTR locos, simply omit the cleaning and priming stage. If you have any questions, please get in touch! Happy modelling.

The best rule of thumb for adding thinners is to add enough that when you shake the bottle with the paint to mix it the paint will quickly run off the sides of the bottle leaving it clear straight away, if it takes a few seconds to clear the sides of the bottle then you need more thinners

These are excellent tips as in all your videos, particularly for a beginner like me. Like an earlier viewer I would love to see the detailing on cab interiors, buffer beams etc.

Good morning unlike soldering I pretty much agree with what you have said I find aerosol primer can obliterate fine detail.unless you are careful. I use an Iwata HP for detail work but for general use I use a Feng Da BD 180 which is a copy of it the copy costs about a tenth of the Iwata and is more than adequate and has the MAC valve enabling air control very easily

Hi Paul, glad you like the channel. There will be more videos in the future, time is tight at the moment though!

Hey there, great video. Do you think you could do a video on detailing? Eg cab detail, buffer beam detail and painting the small parts?

Hi Casey. Sure I'll add it to my 'to do' list. Thanks for the comment.

I have just come across your series of videos and am finding them quite interesting and informative. One question I would like to ask is what method do you use to attach the axleboxes to the tender frames. I have tried lowmelt soldering and adhesives, and for some reason found neither to be wholly satisfactory. Yours looked so neat and tidy.

I first tin the outside of the brass frame with a very thin layer of 145 solder. Then gently file the rear of the axlebox so it is totally flat and clean. Tin with low melt - not too much so that it sqidges out of the edge when you fix it to the frame. Then I apply the iron to the rear of the brass frame, whilst pressing the axle box home - you'll feel it slot into position when the low melt is molten. You'll have a few seconds to adjust if you need before it sets.

Hello and thanks for your detailed how to videos. I would like to build a OOsteam loco kit but haven’t found a source for decals and a guide to livery schemes. Can you help in any way?

If I may add, I also sandblast model before airbrushing, I don't have my own pictures, so I grab random video on youtube kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtqqfqmoxtPcd3k.html I made sandblast chamber from big plastic container covered by sheet of glass and use www.airbrush-fengda.co.uk/en_US/p/Sandblaster-Fengda-BD-178-with-Nozzle-0%2C5-mm-sand/1232

I am surprised that you use washing up liquid which usually contains lanolin - sheep wool grease! Otherwise interesting video, thank you

@cb01ttr 4 жыл бұрын

You're right, I don't really use that any more... however I would say that given a very thorough wash and scrub in warm clean water, I have never had any issues with WUL.
