Paint Details

[m408]

O.K. My building skills are minimal. I can get parts together without glue running all over the place, and can apply a decent paint job. I can add some basic wiring and fuel lines. But then, for me, it ends.

I am at a lose at detailing interiors, engine bays, dash boards, engine parts, and running gear. I have just aquired an air brush set up but am far from proficient with it.

How much detail work do you guys do with brushes? And any tips?

Not building contest cars, but really would like to advance my skill level.

as much as possible.

The more you use it the more proficient you will become using it. Plus models generally look better with an airbrushed part vs. a brush painted part.

I do some detailing with an airbrush but use other techniques - primarly washed in conjunction with airbrushing.

Just keep airbrushing and don't be afraid to A.) fail and have to try again or B.) experiment and try different techiques.
