Spraying craft paints with an airbrush
johnyrotten replied to DoctorLarry's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Great work on those train cars, and good tip on the alcohol and createx. I just picked up a few colors, I'll be sure to stick to the directions with them to avoid issues. I like to know how to avoid the problem before causing it. -

I've found it works very well with all acrylic paints I've used. It's become a bit of a "secret weapon" for me. The rust weathering on my 34 is adhered with it. Just mixed a bit thicker. -

I've tweeked it myself, all a learning curve for me. The createx I'll say IS the biggest improvement. Thank you for posting that piece of knowledge. -

I believe it was one of your post I found, it was almost the exact wording. -

I found a diy thinner on YouTube, barbatos rex channel. Basically distilled water, isopropyl alcohol and flow aid. On a whim I added some createx 4030 intercoat clear, read that here on the forum in a post. I've had great results and it's durable. I've got the the ratio written down somewhere. As for consistency, I go by the "skim milk" rule. Dab some paint on the side of the container, it should run down and just coat, but not be opaque. Semi translucent. Hope this helps. -
All around great looking vette. Call it a happy accident. That color suits the look really well.👍

I found I had to do the same with my gto, I used a metallic from deco-art. You're first pics looked looked similar, the last set show better what you described. Probably the flash or lightning. Great color either way. Gonna be a sharp looking duster. I like the down played colors on mopars, gives them a sleeper vibe.

Looking good. Especially the undercarriage. What color did you choose for the body? Looks close to what I used on my Gto.

Classy look hot rod. Very nice sir.👍👍
-
Cool looking golf. Great work with the patina.

Two all business A bodies. Great work on both, always a fan of "as delivered" factory race mopars.
-
Great color choice.
-
They definitely look pink. I came across a video a while back, model car muse I believe, that resized and printed Woodgrain on decal paper.

Looking great. It's amazing what a bit of a wash can do for detail.

Looks awesome. The work with the power steering and armrest looks great. Nice job on the carpet as well. That's something I have yet to try.

Dremel replacement wrench and collets?
johnyrotten replied to iBorg's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
They are available on the obvious sites (amazon/ebay ect.) Make sure you get an all metal one, there are ones with plastic bodies. I picked up two from spralmart on clearance a few months ago. They run true, but needed a cleaning and oiling. -
Nice work sir. This reminds me of the Manx, with a bit more modern shape. Very cool.
-
Very clean looking gtx. That red with the white interior stands out. Awesome looking build.
