[Catch22]

Thanks guys, but in person it looks like poop.

 

[Wayne Little]

Don't be so hard on yourself Cory....!

 

[Catch22]

I guess what's done is done. I'm going to enter my 1/32 Dora methinks, so hopefully that one will go better.

 

[Wayne Little]

Hey man practice makes perfect! look forward to your next build then....

 

[Catch22]

I'm going to need to study up on the airbrush because we basically have to have it on full pressure the whole time and can't do anything fine. If it's camo like on the Corsair, which is large and defined, it's not an issue, but mottling? Forget it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

 

[Airframes]

You should still be able to manage Cory. I haven't yet got a pressure regulator on my compressor, so I'm in the same boat. You can practice on something first, just trying to mist on the mottle, building it up, using a slightly lighter shade of colour than the required finished shade. If you have problems with it 'splattering', or similar, try uising a hand-held card mask. Cut a few iregular small holes in a piece of thin, but stiff card, spacing them well apart. Hold the card varying distances from the surface to be painted, and spray through the mask. You should get different effects of mottle, and feathering. Worth a try if you can't go straight to the surface to be painted.

Hey Cory ... your model looks really nice.Congrats my friend.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Wojtek!

Thanks for the tips Terry, I'll give that a go. I DO have a pressure regulator on mine, which kinda bothers me. I just want to be able to do the model justice.

 

[Wayne Little]

We're ALL here to help mate!

 

[lesofprimus]

Cory, I had and have all sorts of problems usin my airbrush... I dont really have anyidea what Im doin, but with trial and error, along with some serious coaching, I was able to pull it together well enough to produce my Dora...

Dont be discouraged man, u'll get it right.....

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Dan. I may have to wait until spring to actually paint the thing, as we can't really trial and error with it in below freezing temperatures!

 

[Lucky13]

Just hang in there Cory, buddy! One of the joys of Acrylics....water paint doesn't stench up the place! I have a piece of paper on hand most of the time, that way when I've got some paint left I practice mottling and those thin misty lines in some camouflages....sweaty stuff!
