What the FAQ

[Dead09100]

Haidryer? or a hidden boltgun :D

[Algebrodadio]

Also...the dropper bottles from Vallejo make loading an airbrush much easier.

[Golovarez]

hhhhhhuge thanks !!!

[ltcoldfire]

lol the brush traitors...

[millstan594]

what about testors paints?

[MrBuddydan]

The Badger 200 is a fine airbrush ,ive had mine 20 years its quite reliable.Tamiya and Sangyo-Gunze acrylic paints are fine through the brush.Always clean the brush with water alcohol mix with a drop of windex to libricate the nylon washers.

Hey Alexandra,

I know you are way more experienced than I; but I noticed you said the there was almost no difference between the Vallejo Game color and Model. I found that odd as I have noticed a big difference between them. I'm not sure how to describe it but the game color seems to be a more fluid paint with more pigment that, while it is more fluid, has a dryness to it. The Model paint has a thickness to it. it's surface tension seems stickier to me. did I get some bad paints?

[LindsleeO]

Thanks for another great video! I especially liked your comparison of the art tube paint versus the GW and Vallejo paints. :)

[LordEldradUlthran]

Very informative and useful information. Thanks for this ^_^.

[bleuesamourai27]

[Friedlandbe]

One more question Alexandra, what kind of videocamera do you use to make your great videos, And also, do you use a program to edit your videos ?

[furlan84]

Great!

[jamesbritton1]

lol u fool (hi youtubeis)great video thx for shareing :).

[dannyrobb1711]

just out of interest, have you ever used the citadel spray gun at all, do you think its worth getting that or a proper airbrush?

[GirlPainting]

@dannyrobb1711 the gw airbrush is an outside mixing airbrush just like the cheapest model from badger for example and only for priming minis and tanks. i woudn´t recomend it.

[armorkinger]

i would also like to know. awesome vids btw

[vapour143]

Hi can i just ask if your saying 'hi cutties or hi chewies' or something like that ? Thanks by the way awesome videos

[GirlPainting]

[Deathofblades]

@GirlPainting TUBIES!!!

[MythicalGerrellie]

@GirlPainting You are adorable. ñ_ñ

[Ydouneed2nomyname]

@vapour143 she says Hi Tubies. As in Youtubers.

[voiceovertheking]

@vapour143 shes saying hi chubies >.>

[TheJuggler17]

@vapour143 She's saying "Hi Tubies"

That is, youtube viewers. Yeah I've never heard anybody say that before either, but she starts all of her videos like that and it's nice enough, these are great videos and have helped me do some fairly good painting myself.

I find that Vallejo game color paints constantly break; the pigment separates from the medium. The last bottle of black I used would leave whitish spots withing the recesses if is was thinned even slightly with water. I also find the dropper bottles cause a bit of waste, as often there is paint slopping out of the spouts after they are shaken. I'll never buy Vallejo game again, maybe Model or is Air better. Personally I'll be using GW and P3 paints, never any problems with them.

[Acico73]

what air compressor do you use???

[comissar1998]

Alexandra, what do you do for a living

[GirlPainting]

@comissar1998 breathing...thats my secret ;-)

[comissar1998]

@GirlPainting lol wish i could make money doing that :D

[vgSp00fy]

@GirlPainting breathing :)

[xSuperiorManx]

I can't see the hate for GW brushes either. Mine work for me as well, just take good care of them.

[bombkangaroo]

@xSuperiorManx

I think it's not that they're all bad, it's that they're hit and miss. My friend has an old blue brush that's lasted almost a decade and still going strong, but every time he gets one of the new black ones they're destroyed within a week. I've not had those problems myself, so it seems to be luck of the draw.

[Loxamite]

Why don't you use the Vallejo extra opaque, instead of foundation paints?

[Crondom10]

ei, how did you learn english?

[GirlPainting]

@Crondom10 after my school days i couldn´t speak english at all (finished it with a 5-)

i aquired my hole knolage by watching movies in eglish without subtitles. after a year i could understand everything without a problem, and a year later i could talk like that now.

[Crondom10]

@GirlPainting ok ty :)

[KillKrazy666]

That title actually made me laugh irl

[KainTLA]

I thought Germany used the Euro? Sod the dollar hehe. Great vid, maybe you wont have to keep repeating yourself now since some people don't read or listen to what you say :)

[wario22]

@KainTLA she lives in america i think.

[GirlPainting]

@wario22 no, i am in germany ;-)

[JudgeGudge]

Great video, and when talking about paint I totally agree. People ask me why I use Panzer Aces quite a bit on my minis. The answer is simple it is what the model shop in my town sells. It doesn't really matter what paints you use (GW, Game Colour, Model colour etc.) as long as you're painting.

[Phynixsoul]

hiho allex deine neuen videos sind mal wieder bombe ich hätte mal ne frage könntest du mal nen tut zu den word bearers machen ?

finde kein gescheites und deine sind immer so gut gemacht

[GirlPainting]

@Phynixsoul benutze einfach mein world eater tut und male die kannten in silber anstatt gold ;-)

[SethDr2]

@GirlPainting

Ist natürlich jedem selber überlassen, aber für WB fände ich sie dann zu hell. Ich habe versucht mich an dem First Heretic Coverbild und einem Artikel aus dem WD zu orientieren:

Schwarz grundiert, Rüstung dann Mechrite Red, Ränder Chainmail. Dann Badab Black getuscht. Anschließend Rüstung Scab Red mit ein wenig Red Gore als Mix. Highlights an den Rändern Kommando Khaki. Am Ende darüber dann Baal Red Wash.

[Tim85axira]

Aw, I have a close by store that sells Valejo, and GW paints! Almost to good to be true

[luckylunatik1]

This video's title should have been: 'What the FAQ is your problem? HAHA Very helpful video, thanks.

[KarnageDon]

Vallejo offers an equivalent to the fondation colors of GW. I frequently use theire "extra opaque" products. Stragly enought they don't show them on theire HP. But you can find them ons say.. amazon even.

Vallejo bietet auch einen Ersatz zu den Fondation Farben von GW. Ich finde sie klasse und benutz sie oft. Sind nur komischwerweise nicht auf der HP von vallejo zu finden, wohl aber in diversen shops.

[TheTorakal]

Vielen Dank für das Video , ich weiß jetzt was ich für Material brauche und wie ich sie nutze :).

Irgendwie macht dich das Video noch sympathischer :D!

[Warpetrie]

hahahaha yes don’t forget the hairdryer

[Deathofblades]

Almost as if she's trying to say "What the fuck"

[OverlordFxR]

Actually, there is a lot of difference between Model, Game, and Air.

Model color is generally apparently a more brittle paint that usually requires varnishing but it has a huge and more muted range. Game color is more resistant and yes is basically GW equivalents with a larger range.

Model Air has a much finer grinding process and is thinner to be used straight into an airbrush. Their model air metallics are amazing with no glitter effect.
