[Generalsplatton]

Excellent work! What were you using to hold the model?

[nuclealosaur]

@Generalsplatton It's a 'helping hand' thingy that comes with a magnifying glass - now I find it useless haha

[arakno1]

@nuclealosaur It's called a third hand.

[T3lli]

@Generalsplatton It's often used when soldering proabobly have it at radioshack ;)

[bluebowmn]

[factionn]

Hello, can i ask you in what are you mounting the sword while painting.

Nice tut by the way you have really good skills.

Could i do this with normal brush?

[feuermann88]

@suriassassin yes, but it is more difficult. You need to apply a ton of thin layers of very diluted paint

[KillaMinis]

@suriassassin Yes you could, with very thin layers you could attempt to glaze layer or blending to get the exact same effect. You will not be able to beat the even finish the airbrush will do but the overall effect can be attained.

[louwie616]

how you get the paint in so quick? do you only put a little inside the cup?

[nuclealosaur]

@louwie616 - Hi. Yes, I only use a few drops of paint at a time - for this kinda work 1 drop of paint and 1 or 2 drops of thinner should be enough.
