I’ve gotta say, you have taught me everything I’ve learned about airbrushing the past month or two, went from knowing absolutely nothing to feeling confident with an airbrush in my hands, such a massive thanks for what you do.
What I liked the most is not only the fact that you're giving the whole set away, but the fact that you even decided to fill the gaps with your own budget, you didn't had to, and yet you did, that speaks highly of you as a person mate.
Dude Rex, why are you so good to us!?! You put a lot of work into these videos and then give away your commission? You truly are a rare unicorn in the TH-cam universe. Thank you for everything!!!
I have been away from the hobby of models, miniatures & painting for close to 30 years. I didn't realize how much I missed in that time away. Lately, I've been looking for videos and such on all aspects of getting back into it. My wife is even excited about trying her hand at some of this! I really enjoy your very thorough treatment of paints and equipment. You are one of the few folks I have found that gives a very In-Depth test and evaluation and I cannot thank you enough for doing it. Your videos allow me to make a more informed choice when it comes to paints. I have to also say that some of the paints being used are 'old friends' and a few of them are 'old unavailables' to me from back in the early 70's when I first really got deep into models, dioramas and painting. So having your videos available to see who's got what and how well do they work has been very informative. (the old 'unavailables' were the 'good' paints I simply couldn't afford as a kid back in the 70's) Thanks again for the effort you put out. Looking forward to the new paint booth. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more videos on brush applied paints as well, even though I really like the airbrush, I'm primarily a 'paint by brush' guy when it comes to my painting as I tend to do very small items in great detail.
Game Air has the perfect set of colors for the style of hobby crafting we do in our home. This is a gem of a set. And you even topped it off with extra. Someone will be very fortunate. Very nice things you are doing to support this craft. 👏
For someone who is just getting back into modelling ,Your chanel has given me so much information and I'm not sure if you realise how much you're appreciated. I'm disabled and have little spare money to dedicate to my hobby,so Your money saving tips and advice are a godsend. You have to many fans for your chanel to fail ! . Keep up the good work. 👍
I'm always amazed by how much paints, cans, and kits of all kind!! Still kinda new to the channel, but the information you provide is addicting!! It allows me to have more confidence in my builds. Side note I had the pleasure to visit the Gundam Base in Korea and Tamiya HQ. Anyone who's a big Gundam fanatic like I am. You'll go WILD!!! Like always thanks Rex for all your help buddy
@@barbatosrex9473 sadly I was on a time crunch, but I was able to pick up a couple MGs. One of my favorites - its a must to build Eclipse Gundam. It's a Freedom Gundam mix with a racing enthusiasts in mind mind. Rex you give little to no room for error when it comes to noobies in the hobby/gunpla world!! 💯
The Vallejo Game Air range has been on my wish list for several years. It's the perfect fit for someone who primarily paints fantasy miniatures (and terrain), like I do. Especially those of us who have grown up with the more vibrant paint schemes from the late 80's and through the 90's. They do make the minis pop more on any table, whether for wargaming, board games or roleplaying games. Thanks for showcasing/testing so many brands, tools and paint ranges. You also have me convinced to get the Badger 105 Patriot for my next airbrush, once I have the funds. 😁
Hey rex, I just dicovered your channel half a year ago and you broke my fear of getting an airbrush.I bougyt a cheap one recently, it works fine for the price but i havent been able to decide what paint to buy so what paint brand do you recommend for an absolute beginner? Preferably acrylics cause i dont have a respirator.
Bit late to modeling party but you and your videos have been my go to source for slowly putting together a gunpla area for my 6yr old son and I over the past few weeks. I also really enjoy your style of videos. It's more like your trying to explain to friends then it is just putting content for views out there. Thanks!
I do have to say, I love when someone takes their TH-cam and starts their passion business. Looking forward to more testing and love the colors of your paint line.
In the last 6 months I've gotten into 3d printing and painting tabletop. Your videos have really taught me so much. Keep up the great work and thank you
Well done as always, as someone who is snowed under with a necron and ork army to paint, having a huge collection of Vallejo airbrush paint would be 10000000 times better than thinning a hodge podge of citadel and army painter paints
I've watched and learned so much from your videos. I stopped airbrushing because I was so frustrated with the airbrush jamming all the time. Now I'm back to painting my cars and having fun. Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing your passion. In the last couple of years I've started back into model building after more than a 40 year layover. I've in the last two years purchased a Pasche H and this last week I picked up a Badger Patriot 105. Through your instructions on how to care for and utilize their potential has allowed me to undertake a new skill set in my hobby. Many Thanks!!!
You've literally taught me 90% of what I know about my tools and colors. The other 10% was from just trial and error and making mistakes. You're the GOAT man!
Listen my brother - I don't know how you do it. Keep me fascinated painting spoons but you do. Must be your voice or the interesting way you talk to us like we are standing right next to you. From my point of view its a real talent. Thanks for all the $ saving tips and demos. You are a great friend of the hobby - truly!
I love your channel you show me so many things and as you dont say this is the best you always say this is the best for me ... you guys may find that the other thing works best for you but for mw ...... That is so fresh and shows you are not forcing anything or over selling anything, it allows people to make there own minds up and shows how professional you are, Thank you for what you do and how you do it. i try to watch them all. Thank you so much you have been a great help to me.......
Since I'm starting to get back into model building (last model I built I was in Junior High school 40+ years ago). I've watched almost all of your videos in the last month. Now I want an airbrush and need to get new paint too. I have enjoyed your instructional videos. Keep them coming!
Everytime I see your room it blows me away, I love seeing how it's evolved even though I'm fairly new to the channel and the hobby it really has given me something to aspire to
I will have to say that this are some of the most informative and detailed videos for scale modeling. Saves a lot of time and frustration on my part considering you take everything step by step product by product which has helped me tremendously and kept me from making mistakes I would have made. Keep up the great work and God Bless. Would love to watch you do a hot rod build from start to finish as I'm sure others would as well
Thanks for doing all these paint tests. They're very informative for the weekend hobbyists who have limited resources (and no sponsors like the high-end TH-camrs) to make informed choices in buying paint. 👍🏻 I started getting into the Model Air and Game Air lines because they work well with the airbrush and are easy to clean up.
That is one beautiful case for sure and didn’t know they had some paints airbrush ready. Thank you for going over all the different colors and adding more to the case. Just amazing!!!
Thanks for being there. I have watched many of your videos. Basically taught me how to air brush. I've only been painting for two months, your videos have been invaluable to my education. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your videos. I'm just recently getting back into models after around 40 years. Your videos showing how to use craft acrylic paints in an airbrush has been so helpful. I enjoy all the information you supply to us. Please keep up the great info!
Thank you so much for all of your knowledge and expertise! I originally found you because of a review you did on a harbor freight airbrush set and have been avidly watching everything you've put out. Your techniques, how to do your own thinner and cleaner, how to clean everything so it doesn't mess up your next project, it's all been so helpful, so thank you!! :)
I watch all your videos. I just returned to the hobby after 50 years! You've taught me alot. MCW hobby store is about 20 miles from me. I'll be visiting there soon! Keep up the great work!
Getting back into the model building hobby after 35 years. Bought my first airbrush. You are the defacto channel for any and all paint info! Priceless content.
I recently began building models again decades later in life. All I had available to me back then were bottle paints with fat, clumsy brushes and rattle cans that spit more than sprayed, so I really appreciate the tips, tricks and advice on your channel as I get into air-brushing my kits. Thanks!
Haven't gotten into airbrushing just yet, but I watch your videos to try and get a handle on it when I do eventually get an airbrush of my own. Thanks for all the work you do!
I always find your videos to be informative and entertaining, as I have watched many of them over the last few months. You have given me the knowledge and confidence to get into airbrushing, and to get back into model building after 20 years. Thank you for every thing.
I'm really thankful for discovering your channel my guy. It's taught me how to use all kinds of supplies, paints and tools that i can commonly get without putting a hole in my wallet. Not to mention teaching proper techniques for painting and airbrushing. If not for your channel i would have put of customizing model kits and gunpla for a long time. Keep up the good work :)
Another great review video. Your the reason I got into airbrushing, I started watching your videos about 4 months ago and a month in with your videos I was airbrushing my own kits and me not knowing anything about airbrushing your videos on paints and hardware itself has helped me so much now I can't wait to get your line of paints.
I have been using an air brush for a few many years. I was a Makup artist for the film and television. of course that style is about no real air brush technique other the color balance and symmetry. I have watched your take on air brushing and have actualy gotten into gunpla models since I came accross your page. I dont work for the industry and more and I was looking for a creative outlet. Ive worked with all kind of medium when working with effects and prosthetics from stains and inks through guache, acrylics and alchol based make ups. the most difficult medium to work with was Silicone based for sylicone appliances. I love your paint collection and I must say a little envious of it. I have learned alot watching your videos and I have been getting back into airbrushing again and tryin to develope some better technique. thanks again for all the advise and keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for another great video! I bought the 10 drawer rack in black last summer to reorganize my workbench area. I was able to store almost all of my modelbuilding tools and supplies in it. It's great to have more space on my bench and everything now at my fingertips while building.
Your videos are so helpful whenever I'm shopping for model making supplies! I love that you do unbiased comparisons of similar products at different price points and offer links to purchase them. Thank you!
Love watching your videos to unwind and learn more about a hobby I haven't had time for the past few years. I am hoping to split the use of our spare room very soon, so I may get my long desired spray booth area and painting desk. Good luck to all your viewers and supporters and it is a fantastic gesture.
I am new to painting minis and really enjoy the info you share on your channel. Very helpful. This kit would be amazing for helping me get started with this amazing craft. Thank you for all you do.
Like so many people have said, I have learned so much from your channel and gained a lot of confidence in my model building abilities. Thank you so much for all the hard work and time you have put into your channel. Also, it's really cool of you to give stuff away!
Found your channel after getting back into the mini hobby. Enjoy the vids and the info! Nice to see reviews on all kind of of paint shot through an air brush.
Great video as usual from perhaps the most comprehensive channel there is on the topic. I started airbrushing last year and I devoured a lot of your videos at the time: helped me invest my limited resources wisely!
I just found your channel and can’t stop watching! You’re great at explaining, teaching and sharing tips…just what I need. I'm an absolute beginner at airbrushing and looking to up his game at model and miniature painting. Thanks!
Love how you added more paints to fill it up. Anyone of us would have been happy just to get what was already there. Way to go above and beyond for your fans.
Another great demo of paints, following your channel has really helped build my knowledge base of how to use paints through an airbrush. You always brake down the little do's and don't well which helps when learning a new tool, i used to paint mini's when growing up, an now just getting into airbrushing gunpla having a resource like your channel to navigate the wide variety of paints out there has help loads. Cheers
Thanks for all the great videos and content! I’ve been a builder now for a short time but I’m hooked now. This year I’ve decided to pull the trigger and buy an airbrush setup and supplies. I’ve been watching your videos religiously while I snap build to get an idea of what I need. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks again and look forward to future videos ☺️
You are always such a generous person with your giveaways, and such a great ambassador for the hobby. I have learned so much from this channel as well not to be close minded to what type of paints to use. Stay metal.
Really appreciate all these videos! I bought a Pace Super mini about 2 years ago and never looked back. I love that spray booth and its made in the USA. Got my mom their 36 inch model as she likes to do resin cups and that thing is a beast!
I paint Games Workshop miniatures and have never tried the Game Air line. They really are some nice looking paints. I appreciate your generosity. Good luck to all!
Mr. Barbatos Rex, It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, and I am amazed at the amount of information you have to offer. Thank you for shedding some light on the Game Air Paint I wasn't too sure about them and how to use them, but now I know. Kudos to you my friend.
I've recently started practicing with my airbrush and I have got to say that your videos were a huge help in convincing myself that this was something I could learn, your testing of paints and painting products has really cut down on the amount of trial and error I'd have to do for myself. Thank you so much!
I finally decided to take the plunge and buy an air brush. I've watched a lot of vids. Yours is easy to understand and full of practical ideas and techniques. Thank you!
This is a great video channel. I've been able to learn more about airbrushing, paint and equipment around it. Because of this channel I was able to get items to help me in my airbrushing efforts.
You have really helped me equip my modeling area with your tests and equipment reviews. Your videos are so informative. Love using Vallejo air paint’s especially.
I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and love how you explain everything as detailed as possible. You are the main reason why I bought my first airbrush kit and getting out of my shell as far as painting my gunpla. Keep up the videos
Really enjoy your videos, it's actually because of you that I've graduated from spray can to airbrushing. I find you have way more control over spraying your projects, thank you for that👍and keep up the awesome videos
Long time watcher, first time posting. Vallejo Air and Model colors are great! Cannot say enough good about them. While we do use other brands, Vallejo just rocks across a wide range of applications. We (my son and I) shoot both Model & Air; some paints are extended/diluted depending on airbrush/color[pigmentation density]/needle size. Started with Model Color back when selections in Air was extremely limited & few and far between. Hmm, actually I think Air was a pipe dream when we started using Vallejo 🤔 In our shop, .5 is pretty big. We run .15s, .2s & 4s in the H&Ss, .35 (std) in the HP-CSs (these are our workhorses), .3s in the CHs and a .4 in the M2. The M2 is great for priming & basecoating. It gets used a lot since while we model in 28m, 1/35, 1/350 & 1/6th - we do mostly 1/22.5; think models measured in feet not inches, say like 8.5 ft long. YMMV on the following. We used to mix In the brush cup and and back blow for mixing and cleaning (H&S even sells a cap for this). We stopped that practice and now mix either in a bottle or mixing pans (the small Japanese ones). The reason being I was seeing a lot of leakage back through seals, primarily on the Iwatas, even new airbrushes, after back blowing had been done a few dozen times. Haven’t seen it on the H&Ss, but boy it can be a pain to clean everything thoroughly, and that usually falls to me. So we just don’t do it anymore with any of the airbrushes. It should be noted we tend to use higher pressures than most folks when airbrushing (we can do this cause we run a very dry & cooled air supply, but that’s a whole other story) but not so high it should be causing what we saw. Again your mileage may vary on this. Vallejo cleaner works really well. Usually stick to Iwata cleaner, I can get it by the gallon for a better price. Haven’t tried AK, might have to try it. Paint shakers are a real plus. We use a different brand, but works on the same principle. I bought a couple hundred 316 SS ball bearings and we toss 3 or so in each bottle. Wash’em and reuse them. Been using em for about 10-12 years so far with no rusting/pitting. Haven’t tried the beads you mentioned…Hobby Lobby tomorrow 😉. One tip…when taking the end off of the Vallejo bottle (or other mfg) don’t do it close to a model you’ve got half painted…yeah, don’t ask how I know….good thing there’s something called Simple Green… As always, YMMV from what we see/do in our shop. Just sharing, nothing more, nothing less. Working our way through life, one model at a time: ok, reality check, so theres probably about a dozen or two started models in shop, but who’s counting? Wife…look away…now
Please keep up the amazing work. I've learnt and picked up so many line tips and tricks from your videos. Thank you for this change of winning a great paint lineup.
I have this strange habit. If I'm buying gatorade for instance, I have to buy every single different flavor on the shelf. The same goes with all different kinds and colors on many products. Your stash to me is like heaven. So watching your videos is almost like a therapy for me so that I don't have to go purchase all that stuff myself lol. You save me the pain and money so that I only buy the good stuff and stuff that I actually need. Thank you for your contributions to the modelling community.
I love Vallejo Model Air paints. I've never had an issue spraying them. The trick is, and I got this from Vallejo's YT channel, is to put in drop of Flow Improver in the bottom of your cup , then add your color. Works great to reduce tip drying for long painting sessions. I've thinned the Model Color and have had success with them, but I haven't bought any of their Game Air, yet. Also, hot water is da bomb to clean between and full clean your airbrush (learned that from you in previous vids). I have a squeeze bottle full of hot water I keep on an insulted cup of scalding hot water to rinse the acrylics out, then follow up with your blend of AB cleaner. Thank you for showing these tips and tricks and I look forward to more of your vids. Keep up the great work!
I got into this hobby two years back during the pandemic and your channel has completely cleared my doubts about airbrushing which led me to purchase my first one that's coming in a week. Thank you for easing me into this daunting aspect of gunpla customisation with your incredibly informational videos!
I'm just now getting into learning how to air brush with the help of different channels on TH-cam. Just purchased a Paashe air brush and just trying to build up supplies. Really love your videos on all the different paints and color combinations. Keep up the great videos!
I have learned so much from all your tips, tricks, and test videos! Thanks for what you you do! Just go myself an airbrush so I would love this to get a good collection of colors started.
Happened to pick Vallejo as my choice of paints when I got into the gunpla hobby. Never looked back. Terrific channel! Your passion for what you do comes thru and enjoy the content. Keep up the great work!
I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. I really have loved you testing paints like the Alclad chrome paints. I just bought an airbrush and I've been experimenting with it, but I'm pretty bad at using it so far. Mini painting in general right now. Watching the stuff you do really inspires me. Thank you for creating these videos!
I really love all your videos, the way you give all the info in regards the psi you are using with the airbrush. The tip sizes, the recommendations for the paint thinning and the rest of key points to have in mind with each paint. Awesome job! Kudos!!
What a terrific video, thank you! I'm totally new to airbrushing - a little intimidated, but so excited. So very cool of you to offer up such a lovely gift. Digging into your videos, now - definitely subscribed, definitely sharing! I have a friend who owns a huge model shop in Fullerton CA - so would LOVE to display some of your work there. You've totally inspired me to get over my airbrush fears and just GO FOR IT - again, thanks so much!
Airbrushing is much easier than you would think. I almost gave up till I got a good airbrush. The difference between the cheap one and a brand name was huge. Any questions you have feel free to ask. Thanks for being a subscriber
I love all your videos!! You have the best comparison and reviews of paints on TH-cam! I am in complete awe of your paint set up. I do resin printing and painting but my paint collection is very lacking. Lol, that's what happens when you're a mom. My family comes before my hobby so buying paints is not at the top of the priority list so I do what I can do and buy a bottle here and there. 😆 Keep making the awesome videos and I'll keep watching them!! 😁
I've just stared into airbrushing and looking at what paints to get love your reviews your very thorough which I appreciate immensely! Thank you for your work!

I absolutely love your organized paint area! I wish my hobbying room was a bit larger so I could do the same. Thanks for all the great testing videos!
The hot water trick is a lifesaver with acrylics, thanks for the lesson!
I was truly astounded how solid that orange fire came out.
Good drills!
Hey rex, I just dicovered your channel half a year ago and you broke my fear of getting an airbrush.I bougyt a cheap one recently, it works fine for the price but i havent been able to decide what paint to buy so what paint brand do you recommend for an absolute beginner? Preferably acrylics cause i dont have a respirator.
On the side note, your channel is a bit hard to navigate for me cause theres no playlist.but its not a big deal just a feedback from me
This Air line by Vallejo is about the easiest acrylic paint to start with

Much props to you once again Barbatos. Unquestionably my airbrushing go to guru. You've done an unmatched service to the hobby. No exaggeration.
Thanks Jerry, you guys are the best 👍
I look at your site thinking I know a lot on airbrush it’s great to see something new
As I research paints and air brushes I find myself coming back to your videos most frequently. Great job! I can't wait to start spraying!
Thanks for covering these paints in a video, I've had my eye on them, and this has showcased them well!

Thanks so much for your videos. I'm just recently getting back into models after around 40 years. Your videos showing how to use craft acrylic paints in an airbrush has been so helpful. I enjoy all the information you supply to us. Please keep up the great info!
Thank you so much for all of your knowledge and expertise! I originally found you because of a review you did on a harbor freight airbrush set and have been avidly watching everything you've put out. Your techniques, how to do your own thinner and cleaner, how to clean everything so it doesn't mess up your next project, it's all been so helpful, so thank you!! :)
I love how you always do a easily understood test of the colors of the paints you demo.
Because of you I got into airbrushing. I’m struggling but I’m having fun. Thank you for all your great videos.
I watch all your videos. I just returned to the hobby after 50 years! You've taught me alot. MCW hobby store is about 20 miles from me. I'll be visiting there soon! Keep up the great work!
Getting back into the model building hobby after 35 years. Bought my first airbrush. You are the defacto channel for any and all paint info! Priceless content.
I recently began building models again decades later in life. All I had available to me back then were bottle paints with fat, clumsy brushes and rattle cans that spit more than sprayed, so I really appreciate the tips, tricks and advice on your channel as I get into air-brushing my kits. Thanks!
Haven't gotten into airbrushing just yet, but I watch your videos to try and get a handle on it when I do eventually get an airbrush of my own. Thanks for all the work you do!
I always find your videos to be informative and entertaining, as I have watched many of them over the last few months. You have given me the knowledge and confidence to get into airbrushing, and to get back into model building after 20 years. Thank you for every thing.
I'm really thankful for discovering your channel my guy. It's taught me how to use all kinds of supplies, paints and tools that i can commonly get without putting a hole in my wallet. Not to mention teaching proper techniques for painting and airbrushing. If not for your channel i would have put of customizing model kits and gunpla for a long time. Keep up the good work :)
Another great review video. Your the reason I got into airbrushing, I started watching your videos about 4 months ago and a month in with your videos I was airbrushing my own kits and me not knowing anything about airbrushing your videos on paints and hardware itself has helped me so much now I can't wait to get your line of paints.
Thank you for all the tips and tricks. I came across your channel about a year ago and you have helped me take my painting skills to the next level.
I have been using an air brush for a few many years. I was a Makup artist for the film and television. of course that style is about no real air brush technique other the color balance and symmetry. I have watched your take on air brushing and have actualy gotten into gunpla models since I came accross your page. I dont work for the industry and more and I was looking for a creative outlet. Ive worked with all kind of medium when working with effects and prosthetics from stains and inks through guache, acrylics and alchol based make ups. the most difficult medium to work with was Silicone based for sylicone appliances. I love your paint collection and I must say a little envious of it. I have learned alot watching your videos and I have been getting back into airbrushing again and tryin to develope some better technique. thanks again for all the advise and keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for another great video! I bought the 10 drawer rack in black last summer to reorganize my workbench area. I was able to store almost all of my modelbuilding tools and supplies in it. It's great to have more space on my bench and everything now at my fingertips while building.
Your videos are so helpful whenever I'm shopping for model making supplies! I love that you do unbiased comparisons of similar products at different price points and offer links to purchase them. Thank you!
Love watching your videos to unwind and learn more about a hobby I haven't had time for the past few years. I am hoping to split the use of our spare room very soon, so I may get my long desired spray booth area and painting desk. Good luck to all your viewers and supporters and it is a fantastic gesture.
I am new to painting minis and really enjoy the info you share on your channel. Very helpful. This kit would be amazing for helping me get started with this amazing craft. Thank you for all you do.
Like so many people have said, I have learned so much from your channel and gained a lot of confidence in my model building abilities. Thank you so much for all the hard work and time you have put into your channel. Also, it's really cool of you to give stuff away!
Found your channel after getting back into the mini hobby. Enjoy the vids and the info! Nice to see reviews on all kind of of paint shot through an air brush.
I love the fact that whenever I look for specific hobby stuff, most of the time I end up on your channel!
Great video as usual from perhaps the most comprehensive channel there is on the topic. I started airbrushing last year and I devoured a lot of your videos at the time: helped me invest my limited resources wisely!
I just found your channel and can’t stop watching! You’re great at explaining, teaching and sharing tips…just what I need. I'm an absolute beginner at airbrushing and looking to up his game at model and miniature painting. Thanks!
Love how you added more paints to fill it up. Anyone of us would have been happy just to get what was already there. Way to go above and beyond for your fans.
I could watch you paint spoons all day. Thank you for your content!
Just sitting back watching and learning… what I’ve learned here is equivalent to a master class… you’re the best!!
Your organization inspires me. Crazy how convenient a cheapo plastic drawer can make a spray session
Another great demo of paints, following your channel has really helped build my knowledge base of how to use paints through an airbrush. You always brake down the little do's and don't well which helps when learning a new tool, i used to paint mini's when growing up, an now just getting into airbrushing gunpla having a resource like your channel to navigate the wide variety of paints out there has help loads. Cheers
Thanks for all the great videos and content! I’ve been a builder now for a short time but I’m hooked now. This year I’ve decided to pull the trigger and buy an airbrush setup and supplies. I’ve been watching your videos religiously while I snap build to get an idea of what I need. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks again and look forward to future videos ☺️
You are always such a generous person with your giveaways, and such a great ambassador for the hobby. I have learned so much from this channel as well not to be close minded to what type of paints to use. Stay metal.
Great Video! Just started airbrushing at 53 and I'm loving it. Keep up the good work.
Really appreciate all these videos! I bought a Pace Super mini about 2 years ago and never looked back. I love that spray booth and its made in the USA. Got my mom their 36 inch model as she likes to do resin cups and that thing is a beast!
Vallejo paints are for me, the best water based acrylic on the market.
I paint Games Workshop miniatures and have never tried the Game Air line. They really are some nice looking paints. I appreciate your generosity. Good luck to all!
Mr. Barbatos Rex, It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, and I am amazed at the amount of information you have to offer. Thank you for shedding some light on the Game Air Paint I wasn't too sure about them and how to use them, but now I know. Kudos to you my friend.
This channel is the best source for practical information for model painting.
I've recently started practicing with my airbrush and I have got to say that your videos were a huge help in convincing myself that this was something I could learn, your testing of paints and painting products has really cut down on the amount of trial and error I'd have to do for myself. Thank you so much!
I finally decided to take the plunge and buy an air brush. I've watched a lot of vids. Yours is easy to understand and full of practical ideas and techniques. Thank you!
This is a great video channel. I've been able to learn more about airbrushing, paint and equipment around it. Because of this channel I was able to get items to help me in my airbrushing efforts.
You have really helped me equip my modeling area with your tests and equipment reviews. Your videos are so informative. Love using Vallejo air paint’s especially.
I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and love how you explain everything as detailed as possible. You are the main reason why I bought my first airbrush kit and getting out of my shell as far as painting my gunpla. Keep up the videos
Really enjoy your videos, it's actually because of you that I've graduated from spray can to airbrushing. I find you have way more control over spraying your projects, thank you for that👍and keep up the awesome videos
I have been very hesitant to start airbrushing but after watching your videos i have been giving it a go. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try.
That's great. Once you get it there's no going back
This Channel has not only saved me money, but has also taught me soo much. Thank You!!
Long time watcher, first time posting. Vallejo Air and Model colors are great! Cannot say enough good about them. While we do use other brands, Vallejo just rocks across a wide range of applications. We (my son and I) shoot both Model & Air; some paints are extended/diluted depending on airbrush/color[pigmentation density]/needle size. Started with Model Color back when selections in Air was extremely limited & few and far between. Hmm, actually I think Air was a pipe dream when we started using Vallejo 🤔 In our shop, .5 is pretty big. We run .15s, .2s & 4s in the H&Ss, .35 (std) in the HP-CSs (these are our workhorses), .3s in the CHs and a .4 in the M2. The M2 is great for priming & basecoating. It gets used a lot since while we model in 28m, 1/35, 1/350 & 1/6th - we do mostly 1/22.5; think models measured in feet not inches, say like 8.5 ft long.
YMMV on the following. We used to mix In the brush cup and and back blow for mixing and cleaning (H&S even sells a cap for this). We stopped that practice and now mix either in a bottle or mixing pans (the small Japanese ones). The reason being I was seeing a lot of leakage back through seals, primarily on the Iwatas, even new airbrushes, after back blowing had been done a few dozen times. Haven’t seen it on the H&Ss, but boy it can be a pain to clean everything thoroughly, and that usually falls to me. So we just don’t do it anymore with any of the airbrushes. It should be noted we tend to use higher pressures than most folks when airbrushing (we can do this cause we run a very dry & cooled air supply, but that’s a whole other story) but not so high it should be causing what we saw. Again your mileage may vary on this.
Vallejo cleaner works really well. Usually stick to Iwata cleaner, I can get it by the gallon for a better price. Haven’t tried AK, might have to try it.
Paint shakers are a real plus. We use a different brand, but works on the same principle. I bought a couple hundred 316 SS ball bearings and we toss 3 or so in each bottle. Wash’em and reuse them. Been using em for about 10-12 years so far with no rusting/pitting. Haven’t tried the beads you mentioned…Hobby Lobby tomorrow 😉. One tip…when taking the end off of the Vallejo bottle (or other mfg) don’t do it close to a model you’ve got half painted…yeah, don’t ask how I know….good thing there’s something called Simple Green…
As always, YMMV from what we see/do in our shop. Just sharing, nothing more, nothing less.
Working our way through life, one model at a time: ok, reality check, so theres probably about a dozen or two started models in shop, but who’s counting? Wife…look away…now
Vallejo paints are my favorite, learned the easy cleanup with hot water from your channel. A very generous giveaway!
Thanks Rex for this. I've been wondering what Vallejo paints were like to airbrush and you have explained and shown their line perfectly.
Please keep up the amazing work. I've learnt and picked up so many line tips and tricks from your videos.
Thank you for this change of winning a great paint lineup.
I have this strange habit. If I'm buying gatorade for instance, I have to buy every single different flavor on the shelf. The same goes with all different kinds and colors on many products. Your stash to me is like heaven. So watching your videos is almost like a therapy for me so that I don't have to go purchase all that stuff myself lol. You save me the pain and money so that I only buy the good stuff and stuff that I actually need. Thank you for your contributions to the modelling community.
New to airbrushing via gunpla, learning a lot and your presentation is very chill and relaxing, enjoying it very much. Thanks!
I love Vallejo Model Air paints. I've never had an issue spraying them. The trick is, and I got this from Vallejo's YT channel, is to put in drop of Flow Improver in the bottom of your cup , then add your color. Works great to reduce tip drying for long painting sessions. I've thinned the Model Color and have had success with them, but I haven't bought any of their Game Air, yet. Also, hot water is da bomb to clean between and full clean your airbrush (learned that from you in previous vids). I have a squeeze bottle full of hot water I keep on an insulted cup of scalding hot water to rinse the acrylics out, then follow up with your blend of AB cleaner.
Thank you for showing these tips and tricks and I look forward to more of your vids. Keep up the great work!
I got into this hobby two years back during the pandemic and your channel has completely cleared my doubts about airbrushing which led me to purchase my first one that's coming in a week. Thank you for easing me into this daunting aspect of gunpla customisation with your incredibly informational videos!
I'll always appreciate the amount in which you acknowledge and engage with your fans man. I love your channel and it brings you happiness
I'm just now getting into learning how to air brush with the help of different channels on TH-cam. Just purchased a Paashe air brush and just trying to build up supplies. Really love your videos on all the different paints and color combinations. Keep up the great videos!
I have learned everything from you…appreciate all the content you’ve put out!
I have learned so much from all your tips, tricks, and test videos! Thanks for what you you do! Just go myself an airbrush so I would love this to get a good collection of colors started.
Happened to pick Vallejo as my choice of paints when I got into the gunpla hobby. Never looked back. Terrific channel! Your passion for what you do comes thru and enjoy the content. Keep up the great work!
I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. I really have loved you testing paints like the Alclad chrome paints. I just bought an airbrush and I've been experimenting with it, but I'm pretty bad at using it so far. Mini painting in general right now. Watching the stuff you do really inspires me. Thank you for creating these videos!
I really love all your videos, the way you give all the info in regards the psi you are using with the airbrush. The tip sizes, the recommendations for the paint thinning and the rest of key points to have in mind with each paint. Awesome job! Kudos!!
What a terrific video, thank you! I'm totally new to airbrushing - a little intimidated, but so excited. So very cool of you to offer up such a lovely gift. Digging into your videos, now - definitely subscribed, definitely sharing! I have a friend who owns a huge model shop in Fullerton CA - so would LOVE to display some of your work there. You've totally inspired me to get over my airbrush fears and just GO FOR IT - again, thanks so much!
Airbrushing is much easier than you would think. I almost gave up till I got a good airbrush. The difference between the cheap one and a brand name was huge. Any questions you have feel free to ask. Thanks for being a subscriber
I love all your videos!! You have the best comparison and reviews of paints on TH-cam! I am in complete awe of your paint set up. I do resin printing and painting but my paint collection is very lacking. Lol, that's what happens when you're a mom. My family comes before my hobby so buying paints is not at the top of the priority list so I do what I can do and buy a bottle here and there. 😆 Keep making the awesome videos and I'll keep watching them!! 😁
Just getting started in model airbrushing and feel like I have a big head start from watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
I love that you provide this service for the community so we know what products are quality buys, Thank you sir.
Great video. I always learn something from your videos, either that is a new trick, a new technique, or a new colour.
I've just stared into airbrushing and looking at what paints to get love your reviews your very thorough which I appreciate immensely! Thank you for your work!
Love that you actively try to mess up what you test to see how well it really works!
