Thank you for all the comments, and I am glad you like this crazy video. At least some abreaction and relaxation in these difficult times. I hope you are all safe and healthy. And You are often asking for a DIY compressor. :-D Actually, I already used even for this airbrush video, cheap solution, which I will reveal and upload soon. Probably today. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsiedMKry7DDnWw.html

I feel like his next tutorial will be about starting a successful scale model company.

Plasmo: *uploads this video* H&S, Badger, Iwata conf call: "Gentleman, we have a situation here...."

With just a side cutter, a tweezer and a scalple you created this.. I can only imagine what wonders you will do if you have all the proper tools at your disposal.. hats off..

This is actually really impressive, it’s better than the revell airbrush xD

the seven dislikes are from people that can't get as nice a finish with their 200 dollar airbrushes

Just...Bazinga! It's work! A single action aribrush! Amazing tutorial, thanks.

Fantastic Dave! Why would anyone give this guy a thumbs down? He’s just being creative and entertaining....just goes to show that you can’t please some miserable bastards. Keep up the good work Dave 👍

This has to be an April Fools joke. I kept watching expecting the prank to be revealed, but then he actually paints with it?! I can't believe my eyes!

Very good! This makes me go back in time... I built my first airbrush using a ballpen body, cotton swab tube, a pop soda bottle cap and some steel wire. I used an old vacuum cleaner as the air source. It worked! But the only control I had was the vacuum power switch. So crude... I could paint with tomato soup if I wanted to, because the cotton swab tube was so thick inside... This was 1994, I was 14.

This is like watching a Jedi Master construct a light saber in a mud hut on a backwater planet.

Plasmo: DIY's a perfectly functional airbrush from random things at home... Every airbrush manufacturer: "aw sh*t"

I remembered when I was 7 years old, I saw a magazine teach you how to make a whole airbrush set up. The compressor was a bick pump and the air tank was a basketball

Decent. In next video: how to make a compressor out of an old toothbrush, a duck and one kg of bananas.

As much as I love building models I have to admit that it can get rather pricey and some people I know can't afford to buy high end airbrushes, tools, etc. Although I have an Iwata Eclipse airbrush I love videos like this to help out our fellow modellers who are on a budget. Anything to help keep someone within the range of their wallets I wholeheartedly support! Thanks for posting!! 👍👍😃

Genius, absolutely pure Genius, McGiver would be jealous of such a clever solution to the affordability of an airbrush. 😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Genuinely thought this was an April fools joke... But the mad man actually went and did it. You never cease to amaze.

Why does this work better than my airbrush

Sensei, I bow before you. I'm speechless. Simplycity and accuracy, wow.

WOW David you realy are the Macgyver of plastic models!! Amazing!

As you said it is only "physics", but the imagination and curiosity to make this simple but really functional single action hand-made airbrush is a great idea. Thank you for sharing it.

This is one of the most impressive DIY solutions I've ever seen. I'm trying it out this week. Thanks!

G'day David, You, sir, are a genius! I've been painting my models with brushes since I was a small boy, many years ago. I just never got around to buying or learning about airbrushes. Now, airbrushes are very expensive in my country and I'm on a pension. I am happy with my brushes but there are times when I'm working on a large model that I would like to have airbrushing skills. I think I will give your clever design a try. I'm familiar with using syringes and I have disposable lighters so, I already have the components of your 'magic' invention. Modelling is all about problem solving and having fun and you have found a useful way to do both at the same time. Thank you. Cheers, and all the best from Tasmania. BH

This is ridiculously clever. I’m not sure what else to say. Impressive. Most impressive.

David: Breaking the modelling meta ever since. PS: You just might make airbrush manufacturers re-think how they design their airbrushes at this point. 'Cause I'm just a beginner, and seeing this actually makes me want to ignore the idea of getting a proper one! Ease of usage, modular design, and price are very appealing to someone like me, LOL!

22 dislikes from those scale modellers that think that using expensive branded stuff is best.

Доброго времени! Спасибо за инструкцию оригинального самодельного мини аэрографа!!! Успеха и здоровья! С наступившим Новым Годом из России!!!

What an absolute genius of a man you are Sir.

I love the ork symbol on the side, like it’s there just to let you know that this is thrown together and somehow works

The quality of your channel is absolutely amazing. I've wanted to be able to paint at higher detail for a long time but haven't been able to afford an airbrush. I will definitely be trying this out.

Вот ты красавец. Отлично получилось. Не думал, что так просто и дешево можно изготовить дорогое устройство.

Architect here. Absolutely fantasic invention. I will produce one within a couple of months i assume. I think i will ponder how to upgrade it with regular household items so it can take a slight bump without needing a repair. A higly unnecessary task, of course... but why not? There is a method for DIY reparing superficial cracks and chipoffs on sport plane propellars i saw on the tubes. You take second glue (yours) and let it drip onto a tiny pile of talkum powder. It solidifies and is so hard you can file it etc. that would be good for enclosing the needles of the paint container. Reg how to attatch the paint canister lid to the suringe is a think to think about... but perhaps a small metal hoop with a screwhead to clamp a pipe could be one part of it. Perhaps some more talkumpowder and glue. Just a thought. Thanks for the vid. I have more than one modelkit on a shelf just waiting for some attention.

good job

Store : why do you need so much lighters, and syringe?.. Me : I'm making an Airbrush. The store clerk : .... The guard outside : .... The Police : ....

Why are you allowed to be this smart and this good at painting it’s not fair

this video is a "breath of fresh air" in this world full of plug'n play ... !!!

I wish you made this 3 weeks ago before I bought an airbrush. Love your work!

That ork symbol at the end fits this build perfectly.

Hahaha "It's quite disturbing"...lmao. You sir are not lying. Saw this pop up when you uploaded it and passed because I have a number of different airbrushes, but got curious simply because it was YOU making it, and man, that's pretty impressive. DIY or not, you cant argue the results.

This is crazy, your imagination and craftmanshift has no boundaries, well done!!!

What will he do next :D? A compressor? Plasmo will be MacGyver 2.0!

Wow,this is really cool. You're a genius.

This is craftsmanship at its finest!

I made already your airbrush and it is awesome! Low cost and working! I am using it with compressor from fridge and improvised pressure regulator. Awesome project!

Very clever - it's the sort of thing that makes you laugh out loud when it works. Injection moulding machine next David.? Brilliant.

That’s bloody amazing 😂🍻 and look at the paint job

One of the most beautiful and awesome tutorials I've ever seen. There are no words.

Simple yet creative design. Your talents are excellent

It's amazing you managed to prove this was even possible Now I'm wondering wether I should get an airbrush or just build my own lol

Next video ! How to make your own compressor! I heard fridge compressors work just fine :D

Great job man!! Seriously, it gives a lot of people who can't afford or can't get these tools, the ability to make them, feel empowered and inspired. Because I tell you, if you can get the results you get, there's no excuse for anyone to not give this hobby a shot:) You rock!

Ok I was actually shocked at the quality and consistency of the stream you got from this! Absolutely amazing. Def gonna make one.

>lockdown day fifteen "I made an airbrush." "You what?" "I MADE AN AIRBRUSH FIGHT ME."

Plasmo: all you need is a few needle a lighter and 2 types of syringes Me: wut Airbrush manufacturer: wut

now this what you call a "DIY from scrap", the real "DIY from scrap" unlike others who say's DIY and from scrap but uses machines and other tools. , this is impressive 🤘🔥👍👏👏👏

WOW the actual quality of the paint job blows my mind!

One of the best April Fools so far. Even if it's not an actual one, as it's pretty impressive!

Thanks a lot! I've been stuck at the whole airbrush thing for a long time, cause I didn't wat to pay 100€ for one

This was a brilliant example of your ingenuity sir! Well in keeping with your usual high standard. Keep these gems coming.

What have I just seen?!? Incredible, PLASMO never ceases to amaze me.

What happens when you put a scale modeller on lockdown 😂

I thought this might have been an April fools video. Turns out, it isn't!

Thanks for sharing this could be useful 20 years ago when I begin!

I bought a hobbyking dual action airbrush for $20AUD 2 years ago. Watched a couple of videos on improving it like sanding and polishing the needle, valves and other moving parts as well as lubricating it. And it works beautifully. Then I bought a cheap secondhand compressor with a 8L tank and replaced the pump with a fridge compressor to make it ultra quite. I am beyond pleased with it.

Plasmo, ty jsi prostě borec!! Po každém tvém videu nemám slov, ale teď už fakt nevím, jak to bude dál pokračovat? Postavíš si doma svůj vlastní jaderný reaktor? :-)

I would really love to see this compared to one of those cheap iwata clones from amazon (and maybe a model with this airbrush)

Wow! What astonishing results! Congratulations for your creativity.

Hardcore, but when you can get a paasche copy for $3.99 USD you start thinking about time value of money. Plus in US syringes are harder to come by. Great work!

Tell me this is not April's fool day, joke...

I would love to see you paint an entire model with this airbrush!

Your skills are never ending. Excellent build.

Excellent build. I envy your patience.

I'm disappointed he didn't make a compressor , but there's always tomorrow .

Drawings with dimensions doesn't exist anymore. can you fix it?

I have not built this thing yet, but HECK this is going to be asmr for me. This is the first time i am watching Your video plasmo, and i am blown away.

You, Sir, are a master craftsman! I salute you!

Next video: today we will start our small model company , I ll try to create a simple kit of Yamato ship , at 1/5 scale XD ...

imagine getting a 200$ airbrush a day before this tutorial came out.

My friend, you are a real master of your craft! I simply love everything that comes out of your hands! Great work!

it is very amazing that the paint can be sprayed out like that, you know a lot about physics! great job!

“Thanks for watching and stay creative”, thats what im trying to do, im not fucking creative at all

Where's the battle damage, weathering and rusting effects, though? :)

every time i watch your channel i am amazed.

Best handmade airbrush in youtube ☆☆☆☆☆

You know, I am watching this on 1st April and I'm not sure if this is real or a joke lol

Чё ищешь русские комменты, ну листай, листай.........👇😂🖕

I can see a simple 3D printed integration of the plastic body being one of those "coolest things to 3D print"

Hello. that's a great idea. I mean an airbrush costs 20 euros in a cheap version. But building something like this is definitely cool. Greetings Tino

The ingenuity of this is outstanding. Even if I never make one myself, I am filled with admiration for this. Also, this is why I have only ever bought and used cheap airbrushes made in China - because there is nothing in them to justify the cost of the name-brand ones, despite what all the Paasch fanboys might bleat about.

i love the PLA-3000+ , what a good idea. Thanks for another creative video. Your motto must be "think out of the box" Big Smiley from Lars

My God, Plasmo became an handyman for modelling ... Fantastic and awesome (and cheap)! 😃🤩

No idea how this turned up on my feed, but I’m happy it did! Love the paint job of your sprayer at the end!!

David you are a genius! This was very entertaining and a testament to your skill. Well done.

Loved this! Very innovative and it would clean up super easy, which is a major pain with airbrushes. Well done David!

Dear PLASMO, good morning! So I commented on on of your vids a like a week or so ago, and I finally had the time to test use a wet palate. And the result was incredible! So I want to say thank you for the amazing tip and keep making awsome vids!

this is actually amazing !! i don't have the money to buy some "high quality" airbrush (and not gonna use it very often ) so a cheap solution like this one and on top of it giving such a good result that's awesome !! thanks for the vid man ! keep up the great work

Fantastic! A post-apocalypse airbrush!!!

This is amazing Plasmo! You are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you.

Edit: I forgot that today is April 1st ..... can I remain doubtful? tHi David, you also have the convenience of not having to decant if the paint you have to use is of the same brand as the bottle you use, of course if it is already correctly diluted! nice works. And now, create a compressor for 10 dollars (maybe with one of those to inflate the tires of 12 volt cars ... but they make a lot of noise! joking aside I have a portable and also quite silent parkside compressor (LIDL): the problem is to make a small tank of air to prevent the compressor from starting at each spray and stops after half a second shortening its life! ciao from italy

Amazing! David your ingenuity is fascinating as always.
