Cheers for the compliments!,

Like you say, practice, practice and more practice!!

My background is in graphic design, but seems to count for little other than colour choice and layout when wrestling with an airbrush!!!

The skills are coming slowly, certainly each new one is an improvement over the last. Doing a good trade at our local Louth club!

I find controlling the shading and fades most difficult to be consistent with. Getting the hang of paint thinning for a smoother look. Do you tend to thin the paint more and reduce air pressure for more control/tighter shading?

I'm using an Iwata SBS with a 0.5mm tip, in conjunction with a Tigershark compressor. Always use Faskolor or AutoAir paints and Parma mask.

Not mad keen on the masking fluid, is there a better variety?

cheers

Ju

P.S. Here's something else I painted recently...
