BDK! purty! it highly recommends silkspan and airbrush...:-) a little worried about your paint thinner consumption. but I'm not one to talk!

i'm eager for constructive criticisume. do you mean there's to much thinning?
peregrin27-Jan-13 14:21
Not at all! the paint and covering look aces! I was referring to the red tins sitting on the floor-- there are lots of them and they look like paint thinner cans. My way of saying you must be painting a lot!

i have been applying model master acrylics, those are my airbrush thinner enamel leftovers that i use to clean my airbrush with when i'm using enamel.

thankyou peregrin for your praises.

so this is MM acrylic airbrushed over silkspan, right? If so, do you have to dope or seal the silkspan before the acrylic? Also, I forget how much bigger these models are than most plastic kits when it comes to airbrushing: a lot of area to color!

i don't know if you have to dope it before acrylic, but i did. the silkspan looks better when it's been doped compared to not. it's a good size model.

Good choice Brian! The dope seals whatever covering medium you use. I tried Acrylic once directly on tissue, sprayed four coat of clear, sagged like heck. Never again!
