Breaking news from Somerset! Man sprays model in private dwelling as a nosy neighbour calls the Police! :) Brilliant stuff yet again mate. I have sprayed hundreds, if not thousands of model buses or other vehicles but still get nervous about railway items, especially if they are a commission job. Just a suggestion those wagon cradles Charlie, I would start with Halfords "rust red" primer and over-spray with a silk finish clear coat.

¡Hola buenas tardes Charlie! Great presentation, as always and, some useful tips for new airbrush users. One little point, wearing protective gloves shouldn’t be confined to the actual spraying process - you probably had ten times as much covering your bare hands than you protected in the first place🤪 Grizzle over! I can also add my endorsement to the suggestion of @StBlazeyModelWorld of the use of Halfords Red Oxide spray primer for the BR bauxite brown. Used this on many of my rolling stock and they do look very effective. Looking forward to seeing the scenic updates next week. Un saludo. Gary

Hi Charlie….l am enjoying your airbrush videos ,a wee tip if you tint the primer to a similar shade to the colour your using it will save time and paint,it will cover quicker . Also ,I realise airbrush’s don’t use particularly high pressure,but it isn’t a good idea to put your finger over the end.just in case someone had a cut or something it could cause an issue.

Another useful video Charlie, thanks. When you come to weather the wagons don’t forget that the load/unload points used old car tyres against the hopper bodies to settle them and get their speed. You can often see the pair of tracks going horizontally across the wagons in photos. You can mimic it using an old dinky car and your weathering wash. And two points of order that blue wipe is called dairy wipe down our way and the police siren is known as “the anthem of Yeovil”.

Yep painting is an art. Remember when putting layers on to match, you wont get a match until all the layers are on and dry. Because the under color ie white primer will change the mix. Good that you emphasize cleaning... CLEANING is the key to good spraying. Be regimented about your cleaning, inside and out. People will get all kinds of issues with the craft, not understanding that the passages have to be clean and open to allow the paint to atomize and laydown correctly. Nice Series mate.

Another great video - you inspired me to buy an Eclipse airbrush during lockdown when I started modeling again after 40 years! I do however believe that Bauxite paint is Bauxite paint (so long as it has not been 're-mixed' by anyone) - it's the colour of Iron Oxide - it was cheap, and works as a primer on steel, so no complex paint jobs required - just use the steel direct from the supplier - already primed! To that end, I just use good old Halfords Iron Oxide Primer (over the top of their plastic primer. Proper job!

This series brings back memories... I also used to dabble with painting models and figurines for friends and their acquaintances, many of whom were avid war gamers. All experts in their fields... just ask them... All of them who'd barely be able to agree on the colour of an orange. Their eye for detail could be just as demanding as any so to meet their expectations, I'd carry out a series of test runs for various paint types, colours and shades on test items or upon swathes, I went to the extent to ensure that those tests were carried out on items of the same materials as the intended subjects. I found that these aspects had an effect on the end result. Only when those results met with their expectation, would I start on the actual subjects of their desire. Seeing as it's your intention to repaint these hoppers anyway, couldn't that extra line of rivets be sanded down beforehand?There you are... lightly sanded, subtly adjusted, period appropriate rolling stock... only you would know... Charlie's Happy again?😁

Comment from Shildon on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the closure of Shildon BREL Wagon Works where a significant number of the MGR (hi-cap) wagons were built. Those rivets are not true rivets, but are a propriety fastener called a Hook bolt (pronounced huk) they were used extensively in MGR construction. It was a round headed bolt with concentric rings at the end where a plain round cap was cold pressed on, making the bolt fill the hole in the sheeting and concentric rings clamp the cap.

To test your colour mix, spray it onto plastic spoons before you spray it onto your model. Keep a record of the paint numbers and the number of drops used in each mix so you have the recipe to mix the same shade on a different day.

Charlie, thanks for your video. There must be paint in the seals of the brush because there was some silver paint on the needle after withdrawal. The series of airbrush videos from Utube 'scale model Workshop is the best I have found anywhere, and he treats this topic, including the often recommended practice of 'backflushing' the brush during cleaning and to unblock whilst destroying a model. I don't want to say too much more because lack of models being finished means I am out of practissssse. Yes: for me it's a verb.

I have some of the Hornbyk HAA MGR Coal hoppers, some 'new' (well new a few years back) some pre love/owned/seconed hand) ones, some of the have/had the older style large tension lock couplings, and some with the smaller ones. As I had some smaller couplings from a set by Bachmann, I super glued them in place of the bigger couplings, and have a couple of converter wagons, and I am rather happy with them. Yes they could be lifted up with some weathering. But I am not one for investing in a airbrush that I might not get much use if any out of, as I could invest the cost in say a new Class 31. or something. But watching your videos is always good, and we all learn something from them!

Thanks Charlie! I figure someday I might use a paint besides acrylic. The nice thing about right now is that thinning my Tamiya acrylic paint with IPA basically means I almost never need to clean it. If it ever gets fussy, I can just take out the front part (it's a since action Paasche and I don't feel I need anything different) and give it a quick brush to get any of the paint out of the needle and I'm good to go. Someday I'll probably have to use a different paint though of course. I really love watching you weather cars with the airbrush. That's definitely helpful for me.

Hello Charlie, Loved the video thank you. We all scour KZfaq at various times, in one on Air Brushing etc a piece of a advice was given, when cleaning try to never pull the needle out backwards as there is the potential to drag unwanted paint through the seals and into none paint areas of the brush. Thought you may be interested, cant remember where or who gave said advice but it does have a logic to it. Mike

Charlie great video, Like the idea of plastic medicine cups never seen that before always used old ain’t jars but have to clear up afterwards. I also tried the automatic paint mixer but gave up as it was too messy and now use Tamiya 74017 Stainless Steel Paint Stirrers Couple of additional tips I have an old plastic tea tray with vertical edges I purchased from wilko’s and I do all my mixing and cleaning on it it which keeps the surface clean and collects any spills this can always be taken outside and washed down. best to use spray cans of primer outside and most people seem to use Halfords grey or (white when spraying yellow or light colours) When using spray cans I always spray outside as you did and if windy spray in my wheelie bin, open the lid and hold it inside the bin. Always have a spare replacement needle not expensive and you never know when you need one. I wouldn’t use cotton buds but have an old 1/2 paintbrush I can use but normally air brush cleaner is sufficient to remove everything I always wear gloves when spraying handling models and cleaning up

BR blue locos were different hues of blue depending on the manufacturer of paint . A loco could be different colours on each side .

Hi Charlie, I believe the early Hop A colour should indeed be "freight brown" rather than the later colour which got progressively more red until the rail freight red came in. I've not given it a go yet but I have 20 of the newer Hornby Haa I'm hoping to back date (might remove the rivets might not) and paint using rail match 235 freight brown. With a healthy airbrush of black weathering and frame dirt the colour will be hardy visible anyway

I think you should have gone with the first red and then painted the acurascal the same or left it as it was as red fades and in a rake of wagons there would be several shades of the same colour. My thoughts only of course. Also I would use a black primer as you would get better shadow tones.

I think I still prefer the old leave the lid on and give the tin a good shake for mixing up the paint. Just a bit cleaner and less cleaning up of tools. That's pretty well how those vibrating machines stir up the paint in professional places :). It's a novel idea having a stirring tool. Just not for me :)

I don’t think it’s a good idea to remove the needle out the back of the airbrush as you are wiping it clean on the bush in front of the trigger. I always remove it out the front. You may be surprised at the amount of paint left on the needle between the paint cup and the trigger even after you have blown lots of cleaner through it. The wire type dental brushes are very good for cleaning that area and are probably smaller than those brushes you had. Good luck finding a colour match. All the best Alec.

@user-qk6qn5sk6y Күн бұрын

It's been quite a while since I have used my airbrushes but did use them extensively and I disassembled and cleaned them (including the needles) after every use. There was always paint residue to be removed on the needles.

@ChadwickModelRailway Күн бұрын

I do appreciate your point Alec, but on some brushes you cannot remove them from the front. I did it that way just to clarify it for the majority of users. Regards, Charlie.

Hi Charlie, enamel vs acrylic paint. I thought you might like to know that Valejo has a range of acrylic paint called Mecha Color. This range is apparently harder wearing than the model air range, I have bought 2 bottles to try. I've also found that repainting wagons in precision late BR bauxite does not match any of my bauxite wagons from various manufacturers.

Charlie, great video as always. I am a scale modeller as well as a railway modeller, and extra rviets is a common thing and removing the rivets from the more modern wagons is not hard.

Great video. It spooked me a little bit as you know I have these kind of hoppers in N scale by Graham Farish. I have 18 in total 4 which came weathered from new. 5 came with tops which I removed to try and match up the rake. I have never look at the labels in great detail before but after watching this video I am a little confused as some of mine say HAA and some say HFA any ideas what the difference is Charlie and any idea of time of use please. They two some have the line of rivets and some without.

Another great video for airbrush newbies. Charlie perhaps halfords grey primer might have been a better and darker base for the first two stabs at bauxite. Over white primer its always going to look a lighter shade. Curious do you have your spray booth ducted to outside or under the table with a ball of absorbent paper in the end as a sort of filter?

Hi Charlie. Did you count the rivets? Talking of rivet counting, sorry to pick on you, Charlie, but every modeller who uses those plastic “tubes” to measure out liquids, incorrectly calls them pipettes. The correct name is pastettes.
