I bought an #airbrush for £7.34 from #temu, surely it's going to be trash right? Let's see if we can paint an Imperial Fist with it! I've chosen a MK6 marine with a plasma gun as I think this is a really interesting model to put the airbrush through it's paces.
*PLEASE NOTE: It was £7.34 when I ordered, however prices on Temu do change quite a lot so please bear that in mind!

@daringdarius5686 10 месяцев назад

Airbrushes are as good as the purpose you use them for. I predominantly use them for just base paints, basing, large flat panels (vehicles and Titans) and larger effects. A cheaper airbrush typically is awful, this one seems ok. Either way, for under 10 Euro (basically $10 USD) this is pretty amazing. Side note: don't go thinking you can detail paint with an airbrush. The pros make it look easy, but just like it takes most of us a year+ just to get comfortable and adept at painting details with a paint brush, an airbrush is the same if not more difficult. But again for larger painting and/or effect painting such as light sources, shadows, animations (glow of a plasma gun), etc, they're fantastic! :]

Awesome video, and a perfect way to show you can amend your workflow to accomodate the tool, rather than having to feel like you can't do it at all unless you spend more than you can afford. I have a cheapie with a USB compressor that I used for pretty much exactly what you just did, and it built up my confidence that when I bought a compressor and a better quality airbrush I wouldn't ruin them and I knew better what I was doing. I still use the cheapie and the USB compressor for priming and basecoating though. Especially if I want to brush-paint the rest.

@ABeeken 10 месяцев назад

What a perfect video to pop up in my suggestions! I got a cheaper (£60) airbrush from Amazon just after Christmas with an aim to use it (initially) for priming minis to move away from using Citadel rattle cans and i have to say, the worry about getting started using it has halted my painting for months now. I popped it out last night after getting some Vallejo primer bottles and, while I got a good cost of black on my test minis, the grey i got to do a zenithal prime with wouldn't come out of the nozzle and led to a bunch of frustration. This is a great video for just step by step looking at how to go about prepping different colours and i now see that i was likely putting too much paint in the hopper and not thinning it. Tonight I'll try less paint with a dash of the cleaner i bought as you're using here! Brilliant stuff!

@chrisbeau76 10 месяцев назад

To get around airbrushing white, some Golden or Liquitex Airbrush Medium should do the trick as they contain a mix of flow improver, medium, thinner, etc.. or just plain old Flow Improver should work.

Best airbrush cleaner I've used: Cheap - ammonia free window cleaner spray. Moderate cost - Master airbrush cleaner. That stuff removes dry paint like nothing else. I've used it to save several normal brushes as well.

@NameIsDoc 10 месяцев назад

Oooo m today I learned. I'm gonna try that on some non synth brushes that have tragically been left out.

@SeanHoltzman 10 месяцев назад

Also, make sure you know what is in your paints, if you happen to use something with enamel or acrylic pigment but don't check the binding/coating material you can find you wont clean or thin or whatever with these. If that happens stop until you find more info on your paints. Brands like Spaz-Stix have amazing airbrush paints that are extremely thin out the bottle and have some amazing utility, but their binding chems are a Laquer, so you'll need to clean with laquer cleaner for deep cleaning, but protecting your airbrush by running extra Flow Aide, or assembly/protection airbrush oil through the brush after a deep clean means if you clean immediately you often can still use standard cleaners because the laquer gets washed off the oil, not the metal.

@ANDELE3025 9 месяцев назад

Any sports bike or car tire compressor should now in the modern times do due to standardization of the hose and socket, but even if it doesnt come with a fitting one adapter sets at local hardware store shouldnt be more than 3$. And you get pressure control even if the airbrush doesnt.

I use a Harder and Steenbeck with a dedicated compressor. The Dual stage brush and the moisture control and pressure control on the comp are big wins but at nearly 25x the price i'd still be tempted to have one of these for the mobility alone

Worst cast scenario your down 10 bucks completely agree with you

@SpensPainting 10 месяцев назад

@organicod2438 10 месяцев назад

Only downside to low pressure is that they tend to clog a little more easily than usual. Great to practice, but it will probably lead to a bigger investment if you like airbrushing.

@SeanHoltzman 10 месяцев назад

@organicod2438 True in some environments, If you have very dry and hot air like I do living in desert and no A/C then it's actually better and won't splatter/gum up. Even then, thinning down paints a bit more and making sure to use some airbrush Flow Aide /should/ fix any gumming. Hot ambient (85+°F) air or no air tank attached to compressor so compressor always running = ~5psi lower than "generally recommended," and then really dry ambient air is usually another ~5psi from from recommended. Moisture in the ambient is very good BUT you want dry through the airbrush so a moisture filter between tank and hose is needed in high humidity areas, but mostly the problem with moisture in airbrush line is water spattering, uneven air flow so spray patter gets messed up, or in extreme cases paint on needle tip can migrate through micro bubbles and start to clog the air-flow area under the air cap in a variety of ways, but generally that isn't a "fix with more air pressure" problem because more air pressure means more compressor ontime which increases heat and moisture in-line, hence the need for a moisture trap and why you lower PSI under the prior mentioned conditions to prevent paint drying out too quickly

Super video! Really nice to have a pretty concise video on basic airbrush technique and some of the potential pitfalls. Question (for anyone): If I've never used an airbrush before, is a cheap one like this a good starter? Or is it maybe better to spend a little bit more money on one that is easier to get a smoother covering? e.g. with that white, I might struggle to get it not splattery because of a lack of experience, would a more expensive set-up help in this regard?

@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Месяц назад

The major criticism for these airbrushes I've noticed is you won't get a consistent pressure for long periods of time, I'd recommend people use them for around 15 minutes a time and then recharge, you'll notice the air pressure begin to decrease after 30 minutes of constant use

@chadnine3432 10 месяцев назад

That's insane for a 7 pound/9 dollar airbrush. I'm seriously tempted now.

@jtjames79 10 месяцев назад

Using a steady-state high-compression fan instead of a compressor is the real trick. It's like the difference between running your computer off of a power conditioning UPS, and just plugging it into a power strip. If a computer has a really good power supply, and a really good motherboard, it doesn't make much of a difference. If you're running cheap hardware like a Dell, you can end up with all sorts of random problems. Having nice smooth air flow, will make even the cheapest airbrush preform adequately. I got one that works great, I'm still planning on upgrading the actual airbrush part just for some extra features.

Dry tip and speckling became more and more of an issue. Drove me nuts Ended up buying a compressor/tank combo with a 10ft hose. Haven't had that issue yet.

@AurelianPainting 10 месяцев назад

People really sleep on these little portable airbrushes, realistically the average new user don't and should not spend big money on a regular compressor and airbrush when starting out. Unless you paint on such a level where an airbrush really makes a difference these little guys are perfect for your average painter doing basic shading and basecoating. Amazon got a couple of these with different levels of PSI to choose from all for really good prices.

Hey Spen, Great video! I've got an airbrush just like this, from Amazon. All I really use Airbrushing for is base coating. zenithals and filters (most recently with Imperial Fist yellow too!). Seeing as that's all I really use the airbrush for I've not really felt a great need to pursue a more expensive kit until I either level up my game enough to need one or until I finally move out of a teensy flat and can setup a proper space for hobbying. Love the content, those Fists (or Lamenters?) look excellent!

Yeah the main benefits you’ll get from upgrading are the build quality, the smoothness of the trigger, and a higher pressure range on the compressor, but at the cost of a lot more space and money!

It was nice to see the results you could achieve for easily getting mass tabletop infantry done. Can I ask a nooby question, why would you use airbrush cleaner in place of airbrush thinner, you said it was okay to use either or in the video and i dont know why, the airbrush cleaner changes the surface tension of the paint? Is that what thinners do?

@brett3366 10 месяцев назад

I got a similar dual action airbrush kit off amazon for something like $45 USD. It worked fine for a couple months of light use, but vibrated itself apart this week. The top of the battery/compressor housing came loose and couldnt hold a seal leading to it running constantly and losing pressure. I'd say I "got my moneys worth" since I didnt want to spend a few hundred on a professional level kit when I wasn't sure if I would use it that much.

@SpensPainting 10 месяцев назад

Sad to hear yours has come apart! The more expensive kits definitely have better build quality, even the Fendga FD-186K which is £100 here in the UK is a big step up in that regard and is the compressor I’ve been using for over 3 years now and going strong

My only concern with the better starter kit air brush you recommend is the noise. I live with my sister so I don’t think she’d appreciate hearing the compressor for a couple hours while I work. 😅 although! I definitely plan on buying that kit one day, the cheap brush is actually very appealing because of its profile, ease of use being portable and noise since I paint in my room. Is there any brush on Amazon like the cheap brush? I live in America and definitely wanna try to start air brushing. I actually just got into the table top warhammer a few months ago as a Astra militarum player.

I think a point that needs to be amplified is this: If you're completely new to airbrushing, dropping £100+ on something you may not like is folly. But £7 to give you a 70% feel of what a decent airbrush is like is INSANE. Absolutely the correct call. Just ordered one myself.

Were the failed seals in the airbrush or the compressor?

How does the airbrush work with acrylic colour shift paints? I paint my tau using it but using a brush tends to make it look messy rather smooth

Nice video, really enjoyed it. Quick question, how noisy is the usb compressor when you’re using it? I have a proper plug in air compressor that I use for airbrushing, but it’s a noisy bugger! If the usb compressor is quiet I might give it a whirl so I can pain without getting told off by the wife!

@SpensPainting 10 месяцев назад

It’s a lot quieter than proper plug in compressor for sure! I wouldn’t say quiet but not where near as loud

@Speedbagfreek 5 месяцев назад

Can you run it from mains as I’ve heard some do with these cheap brushes due the battery and pressure doesn’t last long

@leonidaspereirafilho499 10 месяцев назад

Ever since getting into mini painting a few.months back Ive been thinking of getting s usb airbrush from aliexpress, but Ive been warned that they need to have a certain pressure to work right (over 20psi). Is this about right?

Weird the single action is paint flow rather than air… (normally single action are fixed mixture and you can modulate the airflow).

This is a fantastic video for people wanting to get into airbrushing, but that are either too put off by the price or the nature of using them. What a great addition to someone's starter kit. Tbh this would help massively to anyone basecoating, having trouble getting a smooth finish with a metalic. Or adding any weathering to your models as at that price you would be silly not to give it a go! I have been a miniature painter since 1996. Started using an airgun in mid 2010s and have never looked back. I use an Infinite from Iwata Gilvadez which cost a fair chunk of change. But it is superb!

@SpensPainting 10 месяцев назад

It all depends on the paints you're using. It doesn't have a massively high pressure so any thick paints it might struggle with

@Anlushac11 10 месяцев назад

i am amused when someone posts on the forums that they have never used a airbrush before and want to get into it so people recommend starting with a $600 airbrush and compressor. I tell them to get the $75 Harbor Freight airbrush and compressor and use it for awhile. If they like using a airbrush and want to stay with it then upgrade to a better airbrush and later replace the compressor. If you stay in it wyou have a backup airbrush that isnt that bad and a spare compressor. If you decide you dont like it your not out $600. Couple of years now Im still using my Harbor Freight airbrush and compressor. I have a el cheapo $18 off Amazon as my backup but had to hone the needle on a whetstone as tip was bent. my Dad had a Badger and I think a Iwata.

@GS_37 10 месяцев назад

I airbrushed with the autolock 27 psi airbrush for about a year before the button on the compressor went out and I used it A LOT. I contacted them through amazon and the replaced it within a week and I continued using that one for about 10 months. I decided to try a "real" airbrush set up, but after about 5 minutes, the noise of a big compressor (trust me I tried 3 different compressors), was too much after the convenience of these little hand held ones. I can even walk over to the sink and rinse it all out in like 15 seconds! So, I returned all of that, but kept my iwata eclipse brush and bought another battery powered airbrush, but this time got the imyyds brand. This airbrush had a 32psi compressor and a 1/8th npt thread so I could attach my iwata eclipse to it. needless to say, it absolutely crushes it when it comes to airbrushing. The airbrushes that come with these are 'fine', but after you become more proficient, you'll notice the limitations. The biggest I experienced was the concentricity of the nozzle and needle relative to the hole in the nozzle cap, basically they're off center from one another, so you don't get a uniform airflow around the needle. As a newer airbrusher, this doesn't matter, but like I said, as you become more proficient, it becomes more noticeable. All in all, I recommend this style of airbrush to anyone, it's awesome. Good luck with your decision!

@boblemand 10 месяцев назад

I've got an autolock aswell, but I find it clogging up a lot spattering blobs of paint onto the model before the real flow starts. It's possible to work around it, but i would be nice not to have to start off model and such things. Do you know if it's possible to attach a hose and another airbrush to that compressor? Or can you by any chance send links to your current setup?

@GS_37 10 месяцев назад

@@boblemand I had that too, I found the "perfect" paint consistency helped, but that's not always easy to do. I found that the nozzle has to clog just slightly with paint over time and you'll notice the needle doesn't protrude as far out and that's when I'd get the best spray, but that window only lasted so long. Also, take a look directly on at the needle, see if you have a uniform gap around around the needle. If not, loosen the nozzle cap a fraction of a turn to see if you can get the gap uniform around the needle and nozzle, that will help your spray pattern. Unfortunately, the autolock seems to have a unique thread pitch to their compressor. I wasn't able to find an adapter or thread an airbrush on, since most are 1/8 NPT. This was why I switched to the 32psi imyyds compressor; to have increased air pressure for spattering and a 1/8th NPT thread to use a higher quality airbrush. The "5 psi" seems to make a big difference. I can't comment on the airbrush portion though, because I've never used it. I switched it for the iwata eclipse to have the best of both worlds. I also purchased the army painter air paints set and everything works well (but only if you lay a zenithal down first). www.amazon.com/dp/B096B22YCB?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_k0_1_6&amp=&crid=1GZ0C090TRX3G&sprefix=imyyds&th=1 www.amazon.com/Iwata-Eclipse-Hp-Cs-Value-Cleaner/dp/B00695CY54/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=iwata+eclipse+hp-cs&qid=1691077459&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=iwata+eclipse%2Carts-crafts%2C133&sr=1-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10 www.amazon.com/Army-Painter-Warpaints-Air-Mega/dp/B09BDBW8SK/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=army+painter+airbrush+paint&qid=1691077482&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=army+painter+air%2Carts-crafts%2C128&sr=1-9
