Inching along

It's been a real hectic week but I did get a little work done on some stuff. I've added up some WIP pics to the gallery. I only have details and some final layers of red on the stern guy and some more work on the biker. I've also been messing around with different techs for airbrushing the guys.. some started out white and some black. Trying to figure out a good tech for spraying them and saving myself some time 8)

Airbrushes ..

I've been doing battle with airbrushes here lately. I had an old crappy kit I bought off Ebay a few years ago from Airbrush City. It worked well for a few years and then the compressor went up so I bought a Paasche Compressor and that was working well. So I figured I'd upgrade to a nice brush as well. I picked up a Paasche Talon, rated very high from what I had seen and since I had the compressor what the heck. Well, I hate the Talon. It clogs up after Min's and usually requires a FULL cleaning to get it going again. I'd have to clean it 2 times just to get through a tank. I fought with it for almost a year until I had enough. I just sent them an e-mail complaining about the brush and as I figured heard nothing from their customer service. I went looking around online and it looks like most people use Badger Products for spraying minis. So I ordered a Badger Velocity Renegade which came in last week. I was a little nervous with it as I'm thinking I hope this one does suck too haha. But no worries, it works great. I sprayed about 30 SMs and a drop pod without any clogs of any type. Was so nice to be able to just spray and not have to spend more time cleaning then spraying.

A little here a little there

Last night was pretty busy so I didn't get much done. I am perfecting my recliner painting skills though. My Wife prefers if I'm at least sitting in the same room instead of going into my "cave" so I've been sitting in the chair while she's chilling on the couch. I did a little building work on my Dante and some Storm Raven rough blending over the past two days. I'm off tomorrow and it looks like we'll be working on some Terrain tomorrow, but I'm hoping to finish at least something haha ... SP or Stern .. or maybe that biker. Who knows.
