SONG: "Hadouken" by Lupus Nocte - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
"Baptize him in my mists" = instant like. Another winner Jon, thanks for this knowledge bomb.
Sounds Jon found another T Shirt slogan
Exactly what I came here to say
There are 4 brushes that every painter should have;
The Trusty Brush, for daily use
The Crusty Brush, for abusive use
The Crystal Brush, for eternal aspiration
The Airbrush, cause I can't say what I will do if I have to paint another Space Marine by hand.
The last point is exactly why I broke down and bought one!
I feel this. Trying to grind my way through an entire battle company of my homebrew chapter, gave up part way through 2 squads and a captain and got an airbrush.
Me who collects tau: HA can't relate
The vehicles and battle suits: alow us to introduce ourselves
I'd add in the tooth brush.
@@RapiDEraZeR it really helps get the finer details on my teeth to the right shade
I use a water flosser to clean my airbrush. It's probably the fastest and the most stress free method throughout my 10 years of airbrushing.
*children enters into room*
"Daddy what are you doing?"
"HAIL SPRAY MODIUS!"
"Mom, Dad is doing the thing again."
The fact that you left that paint bubble on top while you were airbrushing the primer was killing me 😂
Heh. OCD kicking in! There shall be no bubbles in the paint pot!
Ain't no one got time to pop that shit! It's MF'ing SPRAY TIME!!! That bubble will go away when the cup is empty!
Right? Bubbles in your paint cup usually means you haven't got some connection tight.
@@joshuagoss6896 or you just plugged the front on purpose.
It was providing an air seal to keep paint better longer. Jon is such a genius!
All Hail Spray Mordius! Lord of the Primer and the 9 Hellscapes of Miniature Painting, Master of the Crispiest Blends, and Devourer of All Things Mini.
Monument Hobbies (Pro Acryl) primers are the bees knees to spray out of an airbrush if anyone is looking. Love your videos bro!
Better than Badger Stynylrez primer, if you've tried both?
@@HJKampe
TL;DR I prefer Monument Hobbies (MH) for overall performance and protection.
I have used both and had good experiences with both primers. MH primers I feel perform better with its consistency coming out of the brush. Specifically MH White is glorious to work with because I've never had it clog. Badger's line is overall alright but their white is hit or miss. My only gripe with MH is with the black brown primer, I had to shake the dickens out of it before hand to have a consistent color. MH puts a mixing ball in it already for you so its not bad.
The last thing though is how well it hardens after waiting for it to fully dry. Badger is okay but I found myself sometimes scratching the primer off when painting after waiting 24hrs for it to dry. I feel like MH puts a solid shield around the model I'm working with. I have been able to work on a piece 4 hours after I primed it with no issues. Hope this helps.
@@HJKampegood to know! I just bought almost the whole Pro Acryl range and an airbrush so thanks!
I really like that you show how the topic at hand fits into a painting project. Not just, "Here's some airbrush info", but "here's how to use the information to actually paint a model". Thanks!
After trying out a pistol grip airbrush I'm probably never gonna touch a regular one again. I don't care if regular double actions have supposedly better air to paint control than double action pistol grips,I'm far better at using the pistol grip and it doesn't cause my joints pain.
Its true that dual action is better for air flow and usage, but if a pistol grip makes your hands feel good, and you still get the quality your happy with.
Go for it, send it, you do you. Im just happy your having fun :D
Generally double action is easier for European painters and Pistol Grip is easier for Americans.
@@paulhogan3116 Yes it's part of our 2nd amendment 😅.
My woman bought me an airbrush and I'm taking it for a ride today! Awesome tips, short and sweet! Thanks Jon!
I'm a few days away from getting an airbrush setup myself after years of putting it off, good luck to you!!
That montage music?! That got me weirdly pumped.
I was all primed to go to karate in the garage while it was on!
Even as a commission painter, these videos are worth their weight in gold, Jon. You're such a talented educator on top of being a wonderful painter. You're teaching me about things I feel like I've mastered years ago; really humbling and I just wanted to say thanks for inadvertently keeping me motivated to improve!
Hey, Vsause! Michael here!
How much does a video weight?
I live like a 20min drive from Michigan Toy Soldier, and it's so cool see them get a shout out on this channel. They totally deserve it, too. Best hobby shop I've ever set foot in.
All Hail Spray Modius!
Best intro yet.
The montage music just really tied this video together! Well played!
thank you for the tip regarding bubbling. I've been using a brush to mix it in the pot so this will save me cleaning effort
2 things I'll get up early for and stay up, one is watching Ninjon's videos, and the other is making fun of Scott in the comments section of one of his.
Another knockout, love it buddy!! 👌👌👌
Afaik it's not recommended to backflow airbrushes because the seals are not designed for it and will slowly wear out over time. Airbrush paint is supposed to be pre-mixed.
Also the skimmed milk bit is slightly misleading because the optimal consistency really depends on the nozzle size and paint. You can go thicker than that.
You should make a video about it
@@coalitionofrob436 he don't need to . People like Angel Giraldez and Marco Frisoni (airbrush "gods") have already talked about stuff like that 😉
Holy hell Jon. I gotta admit that when I first saw Scott recommending you I thought "duud, do not try to make your friend happen". But oh boy are you one of my favourite painters right now!
I honestly prefer jon
Ninjon: *starts painting with contrasts and oils*
Me: *hits superfast build mode*
Great video, one thing to add to the airbrush cleaning when your done and ready to store it. Loosen the needle and pull it back from the nozzle a mm and the tighten it back down. Learned that from the CK Studios class on airbrushing vehicles. Just don't forget you did that then next time you use it like I did. Lol
To stop it banging on stuff while stored?
To stop the needle from gluing itself to the nozzle incase a little paint was left behind.
The hands and gloves on that bad boy took the cake for me.
I am extremely lucky to live within 20 minutes of Michigan Toy Soldier. GREAT store, they definitely deserve the business boost. Thank you
Awesome video. Some additional tips:
1. If you keep the cap on the airbrush cup, it will keep the paint inside from starting to dry, adding additional protection from clogs and will make cleaning a lot simpler.
2. When applying paint in bursts, keep the air on by continuously depressing the trigger, this will help with tip-dry.
3. Lubricating the needle will also help immensely with clogs.
Love the increased use of oil paints in project workflows. Marco would be proud. Killer music choices in your recent vids as well!
Marco would also say not to mix directly in the cup with backflow so not as proud =P
@@PXLJUC yeah, his airbrushing advice doesn't seem widely practiced. When I get back to airbrushing, going to give his care and cleaning techniques a shot.
Your choise of colors on this minie are spot on. Gives me shivers 😝
Thank you for sharing with us your unique methods for taking care of our airbrushes!
Fantastic video! So much covered and great comms.
Your videos are always worth waiting for! Thanks!
thanks jon for the tips - getting more into this side of the hobby - you & miniac have been great for me as a newbie
This was exceptional work, great as a tutorial for airbrushing, great techniques to practice on basic minis.
I found myself saying frack yeah the whole way through. So much great content in a fun size vid. 🤟
This is a great video! and more than just an airbrush video, the combo of airbrush, contrast and oil-wash is a winner.
I’m always so excited for your videos Jon!!! Yessss!
This is the most straightforward and useful video on airbrushing I have come across. Thank you for this, and keep the practical tips coming!
Good stuff Ninjon!
I love your intros man. And your videos are so informative and clear! THANK YOU!
Very nice airbrushing video. But GOD DAMMIT I love the magic you do with oil paints!
Huge help seeing this as I am trying my set up for the first time!
Wow, that looks amazing Jon!
It's great to see a video with acrylics, oils and airbrush techniques together. Awesome video Uncle Jon.
That music during painting was crisp af.
Oh, that aluminium-foil packed paint palette is an awesome idea!
Thanks for the tips, now I really want to try more tinting in the future!
Simple straight to the point and full of great information, thank you!
You did such an amazing job with that mini! Thanks for this video.
Dude, this video is the one stop shop for better airbrushing! and also some other interesting techniques to boot! Great work as always!
Everyone has done the typical airbrush tutorial.
But this one has nice new touch.
Fun to watch👍
May be my favorite paint job you’ve done. Excellent!
A nice thing about the Iwata - you can purchase an optional body with a limiter dial at the one end that - that limits the trigger pull. This is useful for certain applications where you have the paint thinned to perfection and pressure dialed in - and you need to dial in the paint flow as well. The Iwata custom micron comes with this body (but it is a different fit/screw attachment to the other models).
Great tips and incredible demon! I have a cheap starter airbrush and have used it for nearly a year, glad to know that having a more expensive one really makes a difference as I'm looking to upgrade.
Excellent turorial!
I learn a ton from your content. Thanks for helping me get better at something I have a ton of fun doing.
Actually my fav hobby video now. Thanks Jon. ♥️
Always a pleaser to watch videos your fun videos.You have bunch of great info and little tips every time. Thanks you for your hard work.
Wow! That’s a slammin’ paintjob, Sir!🤘
Love CC!🔥
my girl, is letting me buy one for Christmas this year (never air brused before always hand painted) cant wait to give it a try
Thank you! Just unpacked my first Airbrush and this was super helpful!
Another great vid.. you really knocked it out of the park on this one...
I love how I always learn something new. Like the 10% flow improver 90% thinner mix.
Loved every minute of this!
Thank you so much for the sponge backflow idea. I've been using a Badger patriot and can't believe I never thought of that solution.
Great vid Jon! Love the info and really loved the model!
Just stumbled across your video, and I learned a lot from it. Thank you for the clear-cut presentation and information. I actually ordered a few things that you recommended.
This video was very entertaining and informative. I especially like the tinting technique! Thanks for a great video!
Eh cup mixing is a great way to find out if your paint has any lumps when it clogs up.
Takes a couple of seconds more to mix your paints in an old blister pack or something, and is much easier to see.
Just ordered my first airbrush kit and even though I've already watched all the quality minitubers videos I was stoked on the timing of this video!! Confident my first shoot won't be a failure now!
Well presented Jon. As for the color change cleaning I dump and wipe the pot, back bubble with thinner or solution, and jet the port at the bottom in and out with a pipette or eye dropper. Repeat until it sprays clear on a paper towel. I rarely have much to clean at disassembly. But I like that water flosser idea the previous gent mentioned.
Super helpful video! Thank you for all of your insights. I am going to be picking up the airbrush soon, and this made LOTS of sense. Thank you!
Good timing Jon! I just got a new airbrush and have been feverishly watching videos!
Using your links. Following your recommendations. Appreciate your help and how you go about explaining things.
i just ordered my first airbrush! thank you for all the tips!
Fantastic video and great work. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not an airbrush pro, but I was told to never pull the needle out of the back of the airbrush like you did. Always remove the nozzle and push the needle out the front so no paint gets in the back of the brush.
Good timing. Just bought my first airbrush this week :)
Learned a ton! Thank you for sharing!
Great video! Definitely gonna reference this next time I airbrush!
Just picked up my first air brush ever (thanks to another of your vids...) Thanks for all the tips!!
Great video! Super helpful for a newb who just got an airbrush and is worried about what he's getting into.
Great video. Everyone who paints any kind of models should watch. Awesome, simple techniques shown very here.
The demon looks amazing. I see quite a bit of inspiration from marco's approach to painting. Tried oil paints last week for the first time and I love it! So much new things to try =)
Jon's color schemes always blow my minds
This video has saved me some much time effort and hassle, I'm new to airbrushing but I have had no issues with it because this video taught be everything I needed to know to care for it.
Thank you for the great video!
Can't thank you enough for making such a simple, honest, and straight-forward guideline for airbrushing; I'm embarrassingly new to the technique in my painting and would otherwise have felt overwhelmed but you really gave me a valuable foundation here and I know other viewers feel the same! New to your channel, and here to stay (slay?)!
I have been literally binging your videos since I caught the first one. This is literally some of the best content I have seen in a long time thank you for posting!
Super effective process!
Great video! I really appreciate these tips.
I know this video is a bit older, but I'm new to mini painting, and this has helped me a lot with my first airbrush application of zenithal priming! Looking forward to much more great advice for years to come.
Another classic, filled with great tips. I tend to dump my airbrush slop at end of a session but I suppose you can keep it. . . . . .
Speaking of good practice, to remove a possible clogging trap, mixing your paint OUTSIDE the cup is safer. Translucent plastic shot glasses are a good and cheap idea or like Angel Giraldez uses a plastic lid. That way you don't risk of getting too thick paint that you haven't properly mixed into the head of the airbrush before you even start. Probably a good idea for new airbrushers.
The portion on cleaning is excellent. The airbrush is a great tool. Easier cleaning= more painting and better results. Thanks for this video.
A sort of new brand airbrush I started to use and is made in a similar factory to Iwata is the GSI airbrushes. They blew my mind.
THIS is the video I've been needing to see. Been wanting to get an airbrush but my utter cluelessness on them has kept me away. Thank you so much!
This is probably your best video, imo. Good job, thanks!
Thankyou for many excellent tips (not just for painting miniatures!)
This video and a new airbrush changed the way I hobby. The tinting tip is so helpful. Saves me so much time wet blending with my poor hands until I get arthritis. I liked it so much I got drunk and bought your slay the grey hoodie. Good stuff.
I'm just started to plan to get an airbrush. Great timing! :)
This is the video I have been waiting for, im finally excited to try priming again with my airbrush
I take a bucket, fill it with cold water. When I'm done Airbrushing, I dunk half my Airbrush into the bucket, gurgle it while under water, and after a few times, I dunk it into a cup filled with Distilled/Ionized water.
Never has clogged.
As a new painter my airbrush always intimidates me, but I feel much more comfortable picking it up after watching this. Thank you!
I picked up and used an airbrush for the first time today and finished my first model fully. While I stumbled a few times and am still rather unsteady with pressure and aim, your video certainly made sure it happened less frequently. Thank you for the tutorial Jon, I can’t wait to use this medium more
