What compressor do you use/ recommend? I have a Testors that I bought new a while ago, but I don't like how it loses pressure as soon as I start spraying. Any advice???Thanks!

@LouTAUs I have a cheap compressor I got at Harbor Freight a while back ofr about 60 bucks. It's "ok" but not great. I'm looking into getting a bigger 100psi 3 gallon compressor and then adding a pressure regulator to drop the pressure to 40 psi.

Put the can of propellant in a bowl of warm (not hot) water. It keeps it from getting too cold and losing pressure. Then you do not have to shake the can. I use a Badger 150.

@RABlaney Great Idea! Thanks for the tip.

you should prime your stuff first, you get a better finish and primer can fill in some small imperfections. but it can also take away detail, these models dont have much detail so dont worry bout that.

@lanesteele240 I'll keep that in mind the next time I do a model like this. Thanks for the tip.

why did you paint the car spout shed it is normally made out of metal and most elevators are painted white???

i dont know about yours, but before i had a compressor my tinned airbrush propellant was a mixture of propane and butane which come out with the paint, so if you did have a sparks in your spraying booth it would probably explode..

Are there any up-coming videos about "weathering", or do you prefer the sterile look of painted plastics? -Yeah, dumb question, but i like modeling (1:35 scale WWII German armour, wich is the most colorful militaria) and i like to look at what others are doing, and i find a child like pleasure in watching other people enjoying their hobbies (trains - airplanes - panzers - it don´t matters...it´s all good). -Just wondering! :-)

Your videos are SO MUCH BETTER since you've been
editing and adding balloon comments!
I like the sarcasm too! Keep it up!

Would you recommend a single action or dual action airbrush? (I'm a novice, going to be buying my first one)

Me too, I have a Badger model 250, go with that.

I started out with buying a Badger model 150 (small boxed set) dual-action airbrush and have never regretted my purchase, that is one versatile and trustworthy tool. The sooner you get the "feel" regarding dual-action, the longer you will enjoy airbrushing. Best tips: Don´t be scared about "dual-action", don´t use paints / colors that are too thick ("semi-skimmed milk"-like, works well), KEEP YOUR TOOLS CLEAN!!! Also buy a GOOD (need not to be expensive) compressor and a moisture trap! :-)

Wow, thanks, another great series you have going here. Please keep them coming, I'm just getting my airbrushes under control too. I did the basic exercises that are shown in some airbrush videos on you tube, I did them every day for a week and it really helped me get comfortable using the dual action. I feel like a pro now even though I'm far from it. LOL.
