If you guy's are so sure he's just trolling, why feed his ego with responses?

"Just say no".

Because it’s a blast seeing what kind of stupidity he’ll come up with next! ?

Perhaps this is what you need…no smell or mess and easy to weigh

I used algebra at the nuclear plant every day, but it didn't make me a better painter.

That because you missed the class on Etruscan cat poetry.

Wait until he wants to start using BMF.

I think he has most people who respond to him on ignore, so he isn't even seeing most of the comments.

If true, that's unfortunate. He's missing out on some classic entertainment.

True. This is the most entertaining thread on here in WEEKS! 

But here's an actual helpful tip for Mr. Plumcrazy: Too thin is better than too thick. If it's too thick, you can quickly gum up your airbrush, and it's not easy to clean out.  Too thin and it sprays fine--and at lower pressue, too. I think in 50 years of airbrushing, I've only ever gone too, TOO thin once, maybe twice. And that's easy to fix with just a touch more paint.

Makes sense to ask for advice then put members on the ignore list.

These posts have become laughable. You can do all the science you want, and math too, but until you actually paint something you won't know where you stand.

Is there no thought for the distance you spray from, angle you spray at, or what PSI you have set? These to me would be more important. You can decant some paint from a spray bomb. If it comes out of the spray can nozzle it should spray out of the hallowed, best airbrush ever, Paasche H with either a number 3 or number 5 needle/nozzle.

I'm pretty certain that his first attempt might not go as he has planned. Perhaps he will find another hobby.

That's perfect!

It shouldn't be long before he doesn't see any responses anymore, and goes away.

In the meantime, I'm having a blast!

As a model builder, I’ve just gotta say the proportions on that duckling are WAY off.

With 3D scanning available nowadays there’s no excuse for them to have not just scanned a duckling and scaled it down.

Food for thought after noshing escargot:

"Albert Einstein observed that the difference between genius and stupidity is that there are limits to genius"

[Bucky]

Am I just imagining this, or did he mention in an earlier thread that he plans to spray a metallic paint through that airbrush?

[Smoke Wagon]

“In order to feel comfortable using a certain silver marker, I have sent multiple emails to a Sharpie spokesperson, and it seems they’re not willing to tell me their exact ingredient list, nor how much the pigment alone in the marker weighs. So I’ll put their name up on this forum for everybody to see.

I’m too afraid to use the marker (what if I get an imperfect result???) so what type of book would you guys recommend for me to completely ignore? I’m lactose intolerant so using the marker in my house is a no go. I charted together data reports, and it looks like there is about a 14 mph wind in the next town over, so I can’t use the marker outside either. Perhaps I’ll just be dormant on this forum for another couple of months until I bring up this exact topic again.”

Purple metallic I believe.

I do think we should all remain civil to a fellow model builder.

I predict a plum crazy paint supply shortage, and price increase  in the very near future.
