15mm SCI-FI Work in Progress. 1-100th
Originally uploaded by inrepose
Early stages with these models after airbrushing. Lots of work to do to get them highlighted, washed and weathered.
I am using the Vallejo Model air paints with these models and an Iwata HP-C Plus airbrush + compressor. This is my extractor airbrush booth which has a small turntable and sucks spair paint out of my hobby room via a tube I stick out of the window. I still wear a mask and goggles to keep the stuff out of my lungs.
Masking tape is Tamiya which is randomly cut up and stuck down. I started with a dark green base layer, then started masking before spraying with a lighter green. Finally I layered on some more tape before airbrushing a final brown layer on these 15mm scale SCI-FI mecha and tanks from GZG.
G'Day, I am looking into getting an airbrush/compressor. What kind of compressor do you use? More importantly why did you choose it?

ReplyDeleteIwata HP-C Plus is my airbrush. Selected because everyone else said it was great. You can see it in use here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ScaleModelMedic#p/u/20/mRUlAr2ehWM
ReplyDeleteI bought my compressor from a local hobbycraft store and it is not branded. It was in the £150 price bracket. I would suggest you buy something more than the most basic compressors which are not good at sustaining the pressure.
