Glad YT just suggested you. Subscribed. Did you get that Mosquito? Love the way you named your textures as cartoon characters lol. When you first started talking I thought "Well DAMN!!! Elvis quit singing & became a TH-camr"

Amazing airbrush art... Thanks for your tips.

Really good, thanks

The smaller the nozzle. The thinner the paint has to be. 1 to 1 with createx is nowhere near enough reduction. You need to reduce it around 8 (reducer) to 1(paint) minimum with these smaller nozzle sizes. I know it sounds like alot of reducer but its not. If you see how much trouble he is having controlling the airbrush. You cannot paint like that.. The iwata micron and eclipse's have a multi hole head design for better atomization, and for better control. All these other airbrushes do not. Needle size is not the only consideration. Paint reduction & correct air pressure are key. You can see when he reduced the paint more, how much more consistent and more controllable the gun was. My opinion. An iwata eclipse will give you 99% of the performance. And, believe it or not the larger nozzle needle will help make it easier. The H&S airbrushes are a well made airbrush but they are one hole head designs so there is no technology behind them and no air conversion within the gun. They are just like the old hp-c and others. So the pressure at the gun is what comes out the tip. Not that way with the microns. A much lower pressure comes out of the tip because the air is converted within the gun to provide the best atomization.

I never even touched a Micron, but I own a Creos PS-771, and can't imagine anything performing any better. To bring up Creos, and follow up by talking about how much better a Micron is than a Master from China, is not really helping. Iwata and Creos are both made in Japan and are high end tools with awesome quality control policies.

Looks like you're getting that infamous H&S hesitation At the tip. I believe the new Evolution has addressed that issue. The same issue shelved my Infinity for years, until Rob a the Dredd FX channel came up with a mod to fix it. The brush is now the detail machine I expected when I bought it.

What surface ? Scratchboard ?

Not sure if this helps it's from Dru's ad on his site I copied and pasted ..... Thanks to the tighter tolerances of these new triggers, some users have experienced fitment issues in the newly manufactured airbrushes. This is because the cradle of the Takumi varies quite a bit in size due to the manufacturing process currently being used by Iwata. This is easily solved by grinding away a little bit of the ends of the trigger pin.

Uau tree “ eu comprei um não gostei muito limita gatilho melhor foi usar o original do cmsb mesmo

I haven't run across many people who use the Iwata HP-B, most people opt for an Iwata Micron for detail work...although I gotta admit, the HP-B is a much less expensive option yet still quite capable for detail work--not in my hands, though. Some 15 or 20 years ago I owned a couple of HP-B airbrushes but found them very finicky to get a consistent spray with, much preferring either my HP-C+ or Micron C. then almost 10 years ago I got my first Olympos MP-200C Micron...immediately retired all my Iwata airbrushes and now only use Olympos guns, my best detail model being an SP-B w/ .18mm needle/nozzle--I just love that airbrush!

I enjoyed this video . Will try what you recommended with keep moving , don't stay in one spot to long etc. I use isopropyl alcohol to clean tip of brush maybe this causes my tip dry it might be making it past my nozzle being so thin? What kind of gesso you use I was going to get some liquidtex gesso. Thanks

Thank you 👍

Guessing my computer to old won't let me reply to my last comment to you. I'm using Iwata cm-c plus 1.8 or 2.3 needle set up with same spidering results. Also using same paint as you Createx illustration paynes grey cut 50/50. tried your 50/50 plus 5 drops yesterday. Still either spiders at first , some times works or tip dry even cut that much.I'm also at about 12-15 lbs pressure at regulator then I also dial it back at brush more if needed. frustrating . Thanks for the help I'm a novice.

This helped a lot. I didn't know you can put H&S cups on the side feed adapter. This is awesome! Thank you!

Was trying to do same on a picture yesterday.Yours is turning out great.I keep having spidering and tip dry very frustrating . tried turning air down and then doesn't spray properly ? clean my tip as well.Thanks for taking time to do this video.

Can't wait to see this beauty done. Looks amazing. Have you tried synthetic paper like yupo or terraslate? I've done the gesso route and was not much of a fan. Adding it to paper made it kind of rippley

I love how you're doing these videos. Got kind of a Bob Ross feel to it, haha. But you're very good at walking the viewer through your method. Explaining the technique. This is exactly the style of painting I'm doing myself. Your skill is much much higher though. Hahaha. My hat's off to you

Sorry i missed it if you mentioned it, but what kind of paper are you painting this on? And im assuming this is on illustration paint?

Great project. I love stuff like this. I love the detail. I'm currently between projects so I'd like to attempt something like this for my son who plays D&D

Your blurs are so good I thought you actually blurred the actual video.

distracted by sound in back ground

I have the Dru Blair Takumi. Speaking of Dru Blair, I'm going to the School of Realism for two weeks this fall.

Thank you! Liam loves his shirt!!

25:07 hahahaha also i love the little characters you find in the texture, i cant unsee nemo

Looking good mate, and yes all your tips do help us beginners

super cool!!

Looking good 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice to see you back mate...thought you'd dropped off end of the world...thanks for mixing tips didn't realise you thin that much 👍

When I've compared brushes I've found that the line test can be a great indicator of a good brush. It's true that how fine a line you can get doesn't matter but how easy and consistent it is to achieve those lines is a good comparison point. Testing my HP-B+, Sotar and H&S giraldez infinity, the iwata was just more consistent and sprayed finer. The sotar was close but the lines were inconsistent compared to the iwata.

Hello, please tell me how you clean the 0.18 nozzle? It’s also a very interesting point where people say that not every paint and varnish will suit this airbrush, is that true? Do you think water-based acrylic and varnish from Vallejo will be ok for this airbrush?

Take care of yourself first, I'm 56 and I wish I got into D n D when I was in high school back in the day I'm not sure why I didn't because that kind of stuff is right in my wheelhouse.

Thought you'd given up mate 😂 good to see you back, look forward to your work

Have you tried the grafo T1 by harder and steenbeck or the sidefeed grafo t2 or the grafo t3 the glassbottle edition the t1 comes with 0.15mm. What I like about the Grafo series is that you don't have to push down the trigger for air then pull the trigger back for more paint that's what you call the dual action I think right but the way the grafo series works is that when you pull the trigger back both air and paint are released at the same consistency which I like it better then the dual action where you push the trigger down for air then pull the trigger back for paint and I don't think the grafo series is considered single action is where the air is pushed down by the trigger and you can control the needle by screwing it in or out for more or less paint. I just love the Grafo trigger style.

awesome brush

You are very inspirational thank you

beautiful brush , i am looking at gettng same.I do hear the Creos P771 has the same nozzle out of the same factory owned by the same company and sprays the same (by all accounts) as the Iwata micron. would love if you were able to try a comparison to see whats what. am also torn between getting the Blair custom Micron CM-SB for less than the Takumi. have you tried the CM-SB ? more or less same as Takumi , just bit longer nose

does the older -custom-micron-sb-airbrush side cup fit on the Takumi a well ? (the non gravity feed one)

Brilliant mate Yea you like your snakes 😊 Maybe you could show us the process of doing something like a skull or similar in the future?

Thanks for the tips as a beginer really appreciate it, would love to see you do a skull on gesso

Looking amazing. I am enjoying this video’s. Learning differently techniques. Thanks. Keep them coming.

Nice work man

I own a Microm CM-C Plus and its amazing. Also just recieved the Micron Takumi and have ordered Blairs trigger and soft spring as well, along with a 2 ml cup and lid. Good to see Im not the only one wondering why they put that 7 ml cup on the Takumi.

ive found that a 70\30 reduction is near perfect for extreme fine detail with nozzles .23 and smaller.

Hey man awesome work so far! Such a great texture going on within this one. Keep it up!!

Tolles Video

Looking great mate, thanks for tips on reducing didn't realise you had to thin down that much . Would love to see your artwork on a t shirt 👍

Awesome videos. Keep them coming.

The H&S Evo 2024 looks very promising. The solved a lot of quirks of the old evo.

Thanks for the video

Thanks for the video. I really want that takumi with the Drew mod. I build scale models and dioramas. So after spending days weeks and months building a model i want a paint tool to just work. I have a H&S infinity CR Plus I just don’t like it. I always have to fiddle with it. My trusty Iwata eclipse HP-CS just works. I may give a Gaahleri airbrush a try just do to the price. So many good reviews out there. But reviews like the recent Gaahleri seems to be shills that promote their product line. I bought the harder based on reviews. I know reviews are subjective but I know iwata performance so I know it’s a brand I can trust.
