  I&apos;m a firm believer in Vince V&apos;s airbrush mix: 80/20 Vallejo Airbrush thinner to Flow improver. Just make up a dropper bottle and use that to thin all your paint. Works great for thinning pain on the wet pallet too

  I think you can read my mind. Right as I want to buy an airbrush, you made a video about it😂

  Before going to the spray-out pot, i would recommend using a swan neck bottle to help blast off some of the more stubborn bits of paint before pouring it out of the cup. <br><br>If you put water/cleaner in the cup whilst spraying it out, you can dislodge a bit of paint and cause a blockage. I’ve found 9/10 a tiny bit of paint has clogged my nozzle from cleaning it, which has caused headaches down the line

  I&apos;ve had this airbrush kit in my basked on Amazon the last couple months, trying to decide whether to pick it up to have a play with (I&apos;m not expecting top results as a beginner, but at the same time I don&apos;t want to spend £300+ on kit I might destroy while learning, or play with once and never use again, so this seems a nice compromise).<br><br>Thanks for including the stuff that&apos;s not often discussed, like the safety aspects and proper cleaning.

  I&apos;m someone who has been airbrushing for over 15 years and I have airbrushed Gundam model kits, miniatures, busts, props, scale figures and much more. I will say this is a pretty good tutorial for someone who is starting out using an airbrush. For anyone who has the mentality of &quot;using an airbrush is cheating&quot;, this isn&apos;t a competition. If you believe that using an airbrush is cheating, then stop using a car because that&apos;s cheating, you have feet to get around. Stop using a stove and a microwave to cook food, that&apos;s cheating, you can make a fire pit outside to cook your cook that way. Stop using washing machines to wash your clothes, that&apos;s cheating. You can just wash them by hand at your closes river. You see how ridiculous this sounds? An airbrush is a tool just like a paint brush which will take a long time to learn and master. Airbrushes can do things a paint brush cant and paint brushes can do things an airbrush cant. Learn and master using both, a whole new world of possibilities will open up for you.

  Hello! I&apos;ve been watching your Tyranid videos, is there any way I could contact you so I could request help on my own scheme?

  A great video as always. My only downside was I have tried ordering from Gaahleri before. After waiting a month and the item still hadn&apos;t shipped I had to get a refund.
