 Like many lifelong railway modellers I`ve come through the ranks with painting models starting with brushes, then those very basic airguns attached to propellent cans stood in buckets of hot water to keep the pressure up and then finally to a proper grown up quality airbrush and separate compressors with and without storage tanks.

 

I`m not a professional modeller/painter but consider myself a competent practitioner.

 

There are the usual video`s on loco and stock builds but not that many on live and raw, warts and all railway modelling airbrushing adventures.

 

So.... I`ve started one.

 

I`ve not long retired and decided to buy a couple of compressors to complete all my loco, coach and rolling stock projects..as well as track and building work.  I`ve been a fan of Badger products for the past 35years but added a similar AS18 unit to my Badger BA1000 compressor.

Niether have air storage tanks, but I dont think you really need them for amateur work.........

 

 

Please feel free to comment constructively and even add your own video`s  

 

Here goes...........................................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So,  having warmed the shed with a small electric blower I have continued with the first colour spray........

 

 

 

 

 

 

...... and then arrived at a satisfying end to the first session..............

so that`s all the large areas of colour blocked in the rest will be gradually done by hand  starting with the coach transfers.

Your posts are very interesting but i am afraid your font and colour make it difficult to read. I have had a vision problem for three months and appreciate plain legible text with plenty of contrast between script and "paper".
