お疲れ様です．
This project is over. Time to clean it up! Thank you for all your hard work! *bows*

| This is why I love airbrushing. One whole kit and tons of leftover paint. Trying to be economical here! Clear Green exploded over the Pacific Ocean. |

And now for the purification process.
What do you think of Testor's paint compare to Tamiya?
ReplyDeleteSame here, every time that I AB something theres so much leftover paint and thats only use a portion of dropper (1~2ml) with 1:3 ratio XD.. Usually when thinning paint into paint bottle (15ml) after AB and stuffs... only manage to use like 1/4 of the bottle.. which I can keep to use for next build XD
ReplyDeleteSo you use Tamiya paint eh.. I use Gaianotes paint.. havent tried other lacquer branded paint since I'm quite happy with Gaianotes :D
LOL clear green exploded XD
I thought you using pen type airbrush, I forgot that use Tamiya Spray-Work haha.. I think your's is easier to clean than pen type... I only clean the cup when changing paint and for next build..usually dismantle monthly and clean it up..
Okay, I have to ask: Why does your airbrush look like a cross between a Star Trek Original Series Phasor, and a hot-glue gun?
ReplyDeleteAdditional: I would also like to hear your opinion on the comparison between Tamiya & Testors.
haha looks like a phasor?! i guess it does!
ReplyDeletei found that the testors went on a bit thicker and had a slight texture. that could be because of the age of the paints (how long they'd been left sitting around) and how much i thinned them. the jade green metallic was a pain in the butt. couldnt get it right. no problems with the gold at all and the green was just a joy to work with.
i had no problems with the acrylics at all. maybe a bit too thin (also could be my fault) and have to spray a bit gentler but that helped with the evenness. no pooling at all. also easy to work with but kind of lacking the... solidness that the testors had. just my opinion. there could be a lot of different factors at play there.
I like the title and theme of this post. You might consider the need to invest in some rags to wipe around the rims of your bottles as you go :P You might have a hard time opening that tamiya green in twelve months, and if you do you will love one of these.
ReplyDeleteoh man i really couldve used that actually! the testors are the rough ones to open sometimes >_<
ReplyDeleteMan, I didn't have nearly this much paint left when I finished my V-Dash. Then again, that was kind of the learning stage so I imagine a lot of it got wasted+mr. hobby bottles are a scant 10ml as opposed to tamiyas 23.
ReplyDeleteI knew I was going to burn through a lot on the SF though. Hopefully whatever I wind up working on next is a little more economical on paint.
