  1. This is a sweet build!
  2. Great build andpaint job, wow!
  3. Love the color!!!
  4. Great thanks! I'll give it a try.
  5. Gave the testors enamel and laquer thinner a try today (ratio 1:1) and After stripping the car twice I can settle for where it's at. Being new to airbrushing I'm still trying to dial in settings, but I can see how people get great results with this. What clear coat do most of you use with good results? There are a couple dust particles that made there way on to the body. Just to make sure, I would have to spray the clear and then sand them out correct? Thank you for all your help!
  6. great, going to give it a try later today. thanks!
  7. I usually get good flow at around 20psi. I stripped the model today and watched some videos on painting. I saw a video on YouTube of someone spraying a 1:1 ratio of the small testors bottles of enamels, with laquer thinner. The results looked great. Has anyone tried this method?
  8. Just wow. Stunning builds
  9. ok, ill try turning the pressure down after I strip this body. With the testors aztek I was told that you did not need to thin it down? I believe I use the #3 tip.
  10. Hey all, So I'm having some trouble with airbrushing. First, I have a Paasche single action model H and use a harbor freight air compressor. I typically spray at about 25psi. I am having some trouble getting a smooth finish. I just sprayed my current project and it came out horrible. I used Testors Aztek pearl blue acrylic. I would like to stay using acrylics for the sake of having less orders then enamels. Should I switch to using enamels and laquer thinner for better results? What at are some techniques you use to get great finishes? Thank you! - Steve
  11. sweet build!

  14. Thanks everyone!
  15. Hey guys, Here is my most recent project finished, it's the Revell 1969 Nova SS. This one got a little bit dirty, Hope you enjoy! - Steve
  16. Stunning build !
  17. I love the color choice, great paint job as well.
  18. This is so sweet!
  19. Beautiful models!
  20. I might actually try that first and see the outcome. Won't be for a while because I'm busy with work - but that's going to be my first option
  21. I could try that. I used 3 coats of duplicolor scratch filler primer.
  22. Great, thanks Steve. I'll see what I can manage to try and save this. Thanks again for your advice. -Steve
  23. Wow that's amazing! Great build.
  24. that's good to know, thank you. Lesson well learned and I appreciate your advice. My main question is if it is too late to do a two tone paint job so I don't have to strip the entire model I can focus on just sanding down the top half until it's ready for another color.
