- Finally! I had some issues with my computer (and I still do), but never mind, because here it is; the second part to my Tamiya 1:35th scale Ford Mutt build. Please, watch the video in Full 1080p HD!

I'm a newbie when it comes to making these videos, so be patient and go easy on me :-) Thank You!
I Own All the Rights to this Video and its Soundtrack. Please, do accept my deepest apologies, for I know that the soundtrack is a cheesy one... But I didn't want to use those TH-cam freebies, so I decided to make some of my own. I try to improve myself in the making of (electric) music too, but it's kind of hard with the equipment that I have. And basically; I haven't done any (electric) music until now. So try to bear with me... I'm trying here! You can always mute it down, or use some ear plugs instead ;-)
Love the last animation
I use primarily Alclad primer. Mainly because I did a test with it and a few others. I was looking for orange peel in glossy paint. The alclad did the best job of preventing this. This means that it went down smoother than the others did.
Get some plastic spoons and test paint, using different distances, and spray amounts. This way you get a feel for how the air brush works, without using it on a model.
That is a nice airbrush!
I've already done that... I've got tons of plastic spoons - and everything else you could imagine (like a closet full of brand new model kits) :-) I've been studying model building for years now, before actually getting into it myself. And I do have a strong background with model kits, I spent my whole childhood building and painting them. Well, many things have changed since, that's for sure. But the basics are still the same. I just kind of went ahead and did it with this model, because basically everything is repairable afterwards. It's just the way I like to do all things in my life, I need to learn from my mistakes (big time). No matter if it means more work :-) And I think this kit will look more than ok when it's finished. I hope it will... If that's not the case, I have to cover it with a thick layer of mud :-D By the way; those grains were nothing but dried primer on its surface, due to the bad ventilation: the whole room was covered with primer particles after I had finished with the spraying... Not to mention my lungs. Oh well, my bad.
Badger Patriot. The only downside (to me), is that you can't adjust the trigger pull. It's quite sensitive for starters, but of course you'll get used to it after a while. And once you get going, nothing can't stop you. Maybe it's not a high-end tool, but it's more than enough for me, at this point. I'd like to add a rubber pad on top of the trigger, to make it more controllable. And I already placed an order for a needle nozzle conversion kit, so that I'm able to spray some thinner lines with it. I used to own a Badger a few years back and it was a hidious one. Sure, (usually...) it worked like a charm, but wasn't gravity fed, so cleaning it was a nightmare - for a young man such as I :-)
Thanks for commenting!
CollectoManiac Glad to hear it came out good, and I have a patriot, it is the air brush I use the most.
badgrendels It's an awesome airbrush for its price range and easily one of the best. It's such a versatile little beast and great for detailing, too. Well, at least for priming and pre-shading stuff - with its original needle / nozzle set. Sure, there's a pretty steep learning curve to master airbrushing with dual action airbrushes like this, but it's well worth the effort, in my opinion. Actually, I've never used a single action airbrush (don't tell anyone) :-) So I'm getting there pretty quickly, back in the saddle. I guess it's like riding a bike: once learned and so forth. If you ask me, Patriot is a great choise for a beginner, too. I would probably recommend it for anyone who's into scale modelling and over 10 years of age. Why waste your time (and money) on basic products with missing features, that's how I see things... Because after a while: you won't be using them anymore. And with Patriot, learning is easy, fun and fairly cheap :-) Geesh, I didn't mean to blabber, it's one of my many flaws :-D
