salt to taste took me out lmaoooo, thanks for the video!

yep take photos of everything, every angle, before and as disassembling... also take time to think and understand parts. if you have 2 items with 1/2" of thread and screw them fully into a casing that is 1" wide then how much air flow would you have?... and no thread tape?

Putting Iron skeeter B unto a flying base felt really difficult since there's no slot and you kind of have to just wedge the flying stand up against it's ass and hold it steady. I didn't know about using poster putty to make things easier and I've seen other people wrapping that join to hold it while the glue sets or sanding down the flying stand so it's legs can brace against the base instead of being suspended.

My compressor was a gift, is adding a tank an option?

Can you attach a tank to the compress kit?

You really want to treat them right.....hahahaahahah

Ah, it wad the salting step that I messed up. That explains my issues.

I wonder if you know the parts or you just exploring the (bits) for fun!

facemask...

I was only able to shake the can for 30 seconds, but my gf said that's normal.

How has yours held up with time? I bought what looks like the same thing about five years ago and... how to put this? Have you ever just had no choice but to get out a hammer and smash the living **** out of something just to put an end to it's miserable existence? On mine, every plastic part degraded, weakened, and broke. The clips holding the side pieces broke. The clips holding the three light bars together broke such that they would constantly fall down. The retaining clip for the power supply jack broke when I plugged it in one time. The clips holding the filter in place broke. The clips holding the vent hose broke. This all must have happened from all the times I set it up and disassembled it, except.... I only did that 2-3 times over the years for cleaning. Sorry for the rant, the followup to this morning's cleansing session of percussive therapy has been to post a warning to others to stay away from these things and just build one from a cardboard box, a couple of computer case fans, and filter material.

I pretty much use the same method. I'm lazy and haven't had to break down my airbrushes for months at a time (other than pulling the needle). The only thing I do differently is I only backflow the air when cleaning, not to mix paint. If the barrel is already full of thinner, putting in the correct ratio of paint/thinner afterwards - a quick mix with a brush will mix properly, and then a blast on a paper towel will push out the pure thinners in the front and now you're loaded for bear. I also don't bother buying branded airbrush cleaners. Distilled water first to dilute and dump the remaining paint in the cup (with a backflow) then just follow up with 90%+ Isopropyl alcohol <- much cheaper than a branded 'cleaner' and absolutely devours acrylic paint/medium. Spraying out the clean alcohol and then 'priming' it with fresh thinners, you're ready to go again. I personally use vallejo airbrush thinner and retarder with all my acrylic paints regardless of brand... not due to brand loyalty, but just due to availability of the products - and they work. (The only caveat here is if you're using a paint product with a proprietary thinner like Mission Models - cleanup is still the same) buying a small trashcan with liners/bags dedicated to dumping paint/water/alcohol out of the airbrush while cleaning also really speeds things up for me.

Does it give enough air for painting a model or painting a model, how long can it be operated continuously or how to use this compressor?

I have/had one of these. I live in the tropics. Humidity here is not too different from that of Bikini Bottom. Mine has been running perfectly for maybe 7 years, I forgot exactly when I bought it. Couple weeks ago, a hole exploded and shot water out. The compressor is still working. But I have read trying to seal the hole in the storage tank is not worth it and potentially dangerous. It was 100% user error. I did not know we had to drain out the condensation from the tank. It must have become so badly rusted inside, the pressure finally broke the metal.

Does the round table spin manually or automatically?

Mine is not starting at all. I think it got too hot. What do you think could be the cause

Someone has never assembled Tyranids. Lol, no these are all good tips, and the blutc / sticky tack is exatly how I used to stand up green-stuffed models so the parts could cure without "squashing".

This was like watching a train wreck in slow motion...

how do you replace the filter

Good old Vince advise ;)

Quite tempted by this kit myself. Especially since you say the airbrush itself is fine. Did it eventually pack it in?

What size drain plug is this? I’ve started using mine again and can’t find it anywhere.

WHATS THAT NOISE!?!? IM SHAKING MY PAINT! WHAT!? IM SHAKING MY PAINT LICK YOUR TAINT? NO NO , IM ……SHAKING ….MY PAINT

Hello, I have the same compressor, but unfortunately it hasn't switched off since yesterday. It's running continuously. Do you know which component is responsible for this? Greetings

I've already bought some of these, but didn't really have the confidence to try them out blindly. thanks for this, I'm feeling pretty good about it now

there is a seal between the front and back of the airbrush that requires the needle. I don't think you should completely remove the needle with liquids still in the front of the airbrush because it can allow those liquids into the back where it is much more difficult to clean, especially if it makes it all the way back to the air valve.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this my dude! BTW YES those 2 screws being over tightened make the baby run forever. Almost blew mine up before finding this vid!

How do you know the compressor has finished draining? Do you just leave it for awhile and trust it's had enough time or is there a trick to ensuring that the inside is now dry?

Hi Dave, it's been 3 years since you uploaded this video. Is this booth worth getting? Right now I will go out of my house to airbrush my Gundam but I'm thinking of getting this to avoid the hassle. How is the smell? I will be airbrushing the kits in my room but I'm afraid the smell will linger in my room and possibly spread to my house. I will open my windows but I'm still afraid it won't work. And is your booth still in operation? What sort of maintenance do you have to do?

Nice work

Useful video. I just got started with a Timbertech airbrush, slowly getting the hang of it... Unfortunatly tip clogged so now I'm here 😅

why bubble up?

My piston keeps slipping off where it is attached to the rotator. Anyone had this problem and have a fix?

My compressor has weak pressure.almost no pressure.what is the problem?

Don't listen to this guy he's just exploring and breaking his shit as he goes

Good find. Perfection lies in the tiny details. Thanks for sharing. ✌✌

Wow. Thorough and well presented. Perfect for a newbie like me. You even showed a flow diagram. That's rare. I will definitely check out your other stuff. Thank you ✌

Bro does a legit review of a product and paints a dick as a demo. Absolutely legend. Subscribed! 😂

I’ve been looking for someone who did this! Thank you for the video!

What do you mean if you shake it more than 3 times ??

This is just fiddling around..not a structured approach… If you don’t know the parts..it’s just an ask for troubles…

I have a jar with boiled water next to me, and after a few sprays I pull out my side cup, clean it with the hot water, also put some hot water in my brush, and use a brush to clean the nozzle top, and spray some hot water, and then I am ready for a next round of colorspraying.

Youre a life saver, I have been cleaning my airbrush by shooting cleaner through it. I will always pour out the cup. Thanks!

Thanks, Dave.

This isn’t what I was searching for but this is a godsend. I have grayish floors and these things fly faster than toenails

Ive been airbrushing for years and i never knew i could adjust the tension of the trigger, I just dealt with the cramps after long sessions lmaoo

Should of turned the bottle upside down

I love the premise of Malifaux but making the models is infuriating. The instructions on Wyrd Games website are as much use as a chocolate teapot. I don't see many people showing M3E build videos - presumably because they struggle with the microscopic parts and lack of instruction. Currently building Eternal Flame - which should be pretty easy. "Should!" But balancing the arms whilst I work out which is left and right, and which goes on first is a task that requires more than mere blu-tack. I'm following your advice and still struggling :P

OMG thank you! TBF I didn't watch the video but having the link to air compressor parts have saved me so much of a headache. My Hobby air compressor of 15 years had the solenoid pressure switch give out and (at least in the US) it is living hell trying to find parts to repair. Airbrush-fenga not only had the pressure switch but all the gaskets, o-rings, and even the mushroom plug check! I can rebuild this thing now, after weeks and months of cracked brain searches I can finally sit back and wait for the parts. Take that anti-consumer, anti-repair, US economy! Edit: This video will work for many different brands from Fenga to Timbertech to no name ebay. The AS186 Air compressor is a standard item that is build and sold under various brands.
