I agree- it can be pretty intimidating when you're a beginner, and you feel like all the tutorials online are way out of your league with how they already seem to know everything (and make it all look easy, too). Of course, everyone is human and is uncertain or makes mistakes sometimes, but it's nice to see those kinds of moments captured on the camera as well as the moments of mastery.

@Deris87 2 года назад

Absolutely agree, it's nice to see some tutorials where most of the process is shown clearly, including mistakes. So many videos I've seen are just "Here, use this technique", plus 3 seconds of clip, then finished product. Even just hearing his general thought process on which colors he picked and why is a big help in getting a feel for how to use the airbrush.

Small advice about usage of compressor with tank: After you have finished work, do not bleed an excesses of air that left in tank through airbrush! Use small red valve at the side of tank, it does not only bleeds all air faster, it also spills all moisture from the tanks itself that was harvested during air pumping by compressor. By ignoring this step you might end with a solid amount of rust inside tank (after about 4-5 years of usage, but depends on country where you live)

@GoobertownHobbies 3 года назад

whoa! I really like this tip, thank you!!! :-)

@p_serdiuk 3 года назад

That's an emergency valve. Another way to bleed the air is by slowly unscrewing the small cap at the bottom of the tank. And it's through there that any water that precipitated inside the tank can spill out.

@TheWorkmonkey1 3 года назад

Once every couple of months you should empty the screw cap at the bottom of the tank whilst the compressor is outside or in an empty bath and let it drain out.

@cpadeo9819 2 года назад

worth noting that if you empty the tank via the valve on the bottom, bleed out the tank to around 5-7psi before you start unscrewing it, so the're enough pressure in the tank to blow out any moisture that's accumulated, instead of having it drip out.

@firmak2 2 года назад

Great video as usual! A few remarks on the cleaning process though: Using the needle to do the cleaning is a dangerous choice. If you have something stuck in the airbrush you will bend your tip and make it unusable. Also pulling the needle back while fluid is in the cup lets the liquid enter the back of your airbrush where it is not supposed to be. Apparent from the bubbling on your trigger where the moisture is coming back out. What i found pretty efficient is similar to your process but moving the needle is not recommended. Instead clean with (possibly distilled) water. Use some back flow by holding the needle. Dump the water into a waste cup. Wipe the cup wit a paper towel. Repeat. Possibly also repeat with airbrush cleaner. In the very end after the airbrush cup has been empties spray the last remaining drops out at the front.

@psibitful2 3 года назад

Great advice. It's also good practice to remove the air cap and manually scrape whatever has dried on the needle and air cone.

@BlackWolf18C 2 года назад

I like how you mentioned, "Sometimes that's annoying, and sometimes it's a cool effect." The first time I picked up an airbrush, after a few passes on a sheet of paper to get a feel for it, I began to paint up a printed display mini bust of a wood nymph. Along the way, some brown paint that I was using to gradient tone the skin splattered onto the model and got blasted around in little droplets by the airflow. For the first ten seconds, I was super annoyed at having messed up what was previously a very pretty paintjob and almost set the whole thing down in disappointment. Then I took a metaphorical step back and really thought about it. Why would a wood nymph be pristinely clean? Maybe she was just running through the forest and splashed through a puddle. Maybe she had been crawling around on the ground while stalking some humans who were intruding into her territory. Next thing I knew, without even really thinking about it, I was purposely splattering more brown paint in a few places on the model and blasting it around with the air. The effect looked fantastic, added detail that I had never intended or even considered, and made the end result look more natural for the imperfection. I ended up holding onto that philosophy for just about every project since, and it has led to some interesting and unexpected positive results that I am actually quite proud of. Of course, if anyone asks, it was totally on purpose.

Noticed you're loading the airbrush with water multiple times and then running the alcohol. You actually get the most mileage from mechanical rubbing of the cup with a wet paper towel or a rag soaked in alcohol. You can speed things up with a spray from a spray bottle, a quick rub-out with a wet towel, and then a final alcohol squirt-through.

As a scale military model builder I use the airbrush for most painting. BUT, there is just a time and place for brushes. I have started painting miniatures recently and found that the airbrush is best, as noted, for larger models, bigger surfaces, priming, etc. The details still are best with brush, as it is in scale modeling. Right tool right time right place right job as my dad would always say.

Great Tube Goobs. One tip i've learned with airbrushing inks is that some of them need to be thinned with airbrush thinner due to them overpowering the layers underneath.

I use that very same Liquitex Gold to achieve most of my gold effects, but using a paintbrush. I start (with a white undercoat) with a layer of Nazdreg Yellow contrast paint, then apply a layer of that Liquitex Iridescent Gold. When that's dry (which doesn't take long) i add a very thin layer of Gulliman Flesh contrast. Gives the gold a very "warm" feel to it. Always love watching your stuff, Brent!

Your examples of airbrush work on Games Workshop minis is what inspired me to start using my military scale modeling air brush for my minis.

Tips for airbrushing: #1 Either get a really cheap or high quality airbrush (like Harder & Steenbeck). If you've paid a lot, you'll be a lot more prone to taking care of it. If it's cheap, you'll learn from your mistakes quicker without it breaking your balance. #2 The best way to not have an airbrush clog, is to use a LOT more thinner than you think you need, in some cases 1:1, especially if it's white or light grey. Citadel/GW airbrush paints NEED much more thinning than Vallejo Air paints and even Air paints need more thinning, if you want to keep it clean. The downside is that your attention to the pressure needs to be more acute as the paint will be more prone to spiderwebbing, so either lower the PSI for accuracy or spray from further away if you're doing broad painting, like basecoating. Bottom line, get a big bottle of thinner (Vallejo Airbrush Thinner 71.161 200ml). #3 To clean a nozzle (the little bit that the needle rests in), you can use a whittled down tooth pick, so it's thin enough to get to the paint stuck in there. The wood is a lot softer than the fibers on a q-tip/cotton swab and you can drench it in cleaner (Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner 71.199 200ml) to soften it even further. Don't use pipe cleaners, even one mades for airbrushes, you'll just scratch the interior over time and built up more paint. #4 NUKING an airbrush - If you've clogged your airbrush beyond hope, you still have options. 'Amsterdam' makes an 'Acrylic Remover' which is meant for natural hair brushes and you can dump the parts in this liquid overnight to have the acrylics/plastics literally melt out of the pieces. Acetone does much the same. REMOVE ALL O-RINGS FIRST.

@Smilomaniac 3 года назад

@@highmarshalhelbrecht4715 I think it's just white pigment that is at fault. I have five different pure whites, including an Amsterdam 'acrylic ink' and I need to thin that bastard down as well (white ink dries quickly). Maybe Liquitex White Ink is even more fluid or more thinned down with something. It's expensive, so I haven't tried. It's not my airbrush either, I use a 0.4mm needle for all my zenithals.

@Born_Stellar 3 года назад

@@Smilomaniac I use liquitex ink for my white + zenitol, (same price as other inks for me!) and I find I like to add a little water, just a tiny amount to add some surface tension and make it less concentrated. The liquitex white is so thin it comes out of the tip even with the needle all the way forward, and adding the water seems to fix that. I don't really find you need to add anything to the other colours. also good job to you if you take care of your airbrushes like that! I just run a ton of water thorough mine when I'm done painting, followed with a little thinner. I've also heard of people who just leave their brushes under water when not in use!

With regard to hand position, do what you like. I’m a physical therapist so I can offer my perspective. Any hand position you practice airbrushing with will become more precise over time. I think the issue is most people argue from a right handed bias. Holding an airbrush like a pen and using the index finger feels like writing, something we start doing from childhood. As a lefty, you likely learned to write differently, arm curled over the page to avoid smudging. In that inverse position, a lefty uses a lot more thumb, so thumb on the trigger probably feels more precise to you. I mean, I’ve seen people without arms use their feet drive a car, change a baby’s diaper, and even crack an egg without crushing it. It’s really all about the practice.

Great overview of things it took many of us years to learn (and I wish I'd known before I started airbrushing). Tip though: You said you shoot everything at 30 psi. I suggest you try 25-30 for primer/varnish (0.5-0.7mm needle), 20 for base coats (0.5mm needle), and 15 for detail work (0.3mm needle or smaller for Sotor). I use all the same airbrushes (two 105s, 105 Xtreme, and a Sotor), and the same paints, and have great success with these pressures. Also, you can thin your inks (which you might already do, but maybe didn't mention). That'll make them more like glazes, and reduce the chances of ruining your initial zenithal highlights. Cheers! Great stuff!

@aliciaarceneaux1854 Год назад

I just want to say I think you're an amazing painter and artist. Your whole approach is so much less intimidating to a beginner like myself than some of the other tutorials I've watched. Thank you for reminding me that it's okay to make a mistake, it just adds character 🙂

I've watched you for years, great channel! I just rewatched this and would love a video focused on mortar alternatives with your mini base, diagrama, and terrain builds. then layering your effects with other dirt, grass, soot, etc

@LucasPitcher13 3 года назад

Another great video - thanks! I have just bought a usb chargeable all-in-one handheld airbrush, mainly for priming and sketching highlights and shadows - your use of Payne's Grey as an after-paint shading technique was a great idea, and new to me, and I may now find myself using the airbrush for more than I expected. Looking forward to playing with my new tech on the figures from the "HATE" boardgame... Skulls, lots of skulls...

Thanks Brent, I got a cheap airbrush kit 2 years ago and feared it. You have halted that fear.

Hey, Brent, I have a question on airbrushes. Can you swap needles of different sizes to other airbrushes of a different size?

@nidhoggvomwalde2280 2 года назад

This is one of the best airbrush explanation videos I have seen until this day. I use three pistols with different needles and stuff to have different options and a larger variety. But for detail it's always a brush. Or drybrushing.

@idle_weirdo Месяц назад

Thanks for the tips 🎉

@GeorgeHale1984 3 года назад

Hey I asked you about inks recently on twitter so was cool to see you use them today! Nice work and congrats on your model. I don't do minis but I'll be getting ahold of a Brent to do my own up! Thanks for the inspiration and relaxing times as always Mayor!

17:07 if you are familiar with firearms, badger products tend to break down like 1911s, springs and lots of little bits, where stuff like iwatas break down like glocks, less pieces and easier to reassemble.

@XmortoxX1990 4 месяца назад

I plan to buy one of those portable airbrushes for minis, for both budget and space issues. I'm mainly planting to use it for priming and for some effects, so that should be enough.

@djvycious Год назад

The work you did here is incredible! I'm genuinely envious of your skill! My airbrush skill is limited to making an unpainted part painted. You did bring up some very good points. I'm a model car guy. The Tamiya F1 kits, yeah that's me, and yes I'm crying with needing to buy five thousand jars of X-18 semi-gloss black. From a model-car-guy perspective, yes and airbrush is essential. The flat-ish panels of pure colour require a method of adding a smooth, even coat of paint. Generally, the goal is to get a very smooth finish to make the parts look natural and clean. Certainly I'll brush on a wash to make an engine oily, but much of what I do is in detailing work with off-the-shelf household, and bespoke detailing parts. What I've learned in my journey though, is to respect the value of both airbrush and paintbrush, as they both play a vital role in your build. Get an even coat of primer and colour down with the airbrush, finish the details with the paintbrush, and embrace the combination rather than losing an opportunity to hone your skill in one of these two 'disciplines'. I can say that by relying on the airbrush made me somewhat afraid to bust out the paint brushes. What I've learned is sometimes it's more practical to brush rather than mask and paint, particularly in smaller areas, and that's a good epiphany to have as a modeler.

Nice to see a video just about airbrushing. Those models turned out sweet. Buying an airbrush is probably one the best investments I've made in the 20 something years I've been hobbying.

@heavymetalbonsai8019 2 года назад

I just got around to watching this one (beginner playing catch up) and love this model. I love that you went with a totally different color scheme than they did on the display unit on their site. Went to order one and was shocked that the shipping is nearly as much as the model. Ouch!

@Jonas_Fox 2 года назад

The hobby has come full circle! Brent is the model! I'm not sure we can turn back now. I started the hobby with a 3D printer and I gotta say I'm having a hard time imagining the hobby without it. I've been reluctant to get an airbrush. I'm wondering If I could justify it just for the priming alone since I print so many models and the last third of a rattle can gets all spluttery and dangerous. Thanks again for all the advice Brent. I was seeing tons of airbrush videos but you were the first thing I found for covering the important stuff like where, when and how.
