Petit’gguy Strayblack and Catcos

Post by sandboarder »

Took some annual leave so while I’m on holidays I hope to build this. Ok so it won’t take long to build but I’ll use my airbrush on this one. Never painted anything with an airbrush (only 2 spoons at Luke’s) Here’s the bulk of what I have for it. Plan is silverbase cost, pick 2 colours and then clear coat. So fingers crossed it works out.

Take you time with it, you need to put light coats on first even if its a bit patchy its Ok slowly build up the coat of paint, crossed good luck with it you will wonder why you have not use a Airbrush before. yes!

thumbsup you will be right mate.
Best way to learn is to have a go and figure it out as you go along.
You will like that brand of paint and thinners its excellent, but wear a mask its potent shit.

thumbsup Done well mate, looks like it went down smooth from where im sitting.

Good to see you got your feet wet with the airbrush, hopefully when you got more spare time in future we will see you use it more hi5

Would have spent more time tidying and cleaning the airbrush than actual paint time.

All the time is prep for 5 mins of painting, always the way though.
