hey Adam I set my air compressor @20-24 psi and it dose depends on size and where on the the model I’m priming. Distance is normally between 4 to 6 inches away from the model I hope that helps 😊
Thanks for the tip! I had some clogging before I saw the video. Don’t you have clogging still? One of the hard ways to get in my system is to keep the air flowing and only start/stop the paint. However in this ([articulat this?) video I hear you stopping the air immediately as well. I get a clog within a minute or so.
I appreciate the effort for this video, but there is honestly a lot of stuff I wouldn't do or recommend, especially for beginners. Firstly I also use the vallejo primer and its consistensy is fine already, I mostly use 2 to 3 drops of extra thinner and that's totally fine, too much thinner will prevent the primer from drying in place and can let it flow into cracks, having a wash effect, you do not want that with primer. Secondly you filled your cup almost to the brim with primer, also something I wouldn't recommend, if you move the gun it can easily spill out or if it clogs up, you have to empty the entire cup to clean the gun, only fill the cup up half max. And thirdly, something I see people do often, but that is absolutely terrible for the gun is the backblow...don't do that to your gun, it will blow paint into the backarea of the gun and clog it up, paint doesn't belong there and that part is really difficult to clean, a couple of my friends ruined their guns with this.
Hey GrailKnight Yes beginners probably would not be a good idea if you have used a airbrush before. When using the primer I only fill the airbrush cup half way so I don't spill any over my models and it can be a real pain when it dose spill. Interesting about the blowback I've always used that way of mixing my paint and not had any problems with my brush as yet. Think iv's had my badger airbrush for about 4 years now if not longer and they have been really awesome to work with. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment means a lot to us pal :) Darren
@@TwistedDice Thanks fot taking the critique, I hope it didn't come of too harshly, I generally enjoy your content and appreciate the production quality
If you read on the bottle of the Vallejo primer, it says: apply directly with airbrush. So no thinner needed. I got in contact with Vallejo and they confirmed this. You will need an airbrush with a 0,4 or 0,5 needle. Vallejo primers are not the best. They aren't very durable and biggest disadvantage is, you can't sand it!
Good morning Andy I’ve not had the chance to use the badger yet but I can imagine it being exactly the same i’m reading the description from the website. Once we come off lock down I will buy a bottle to compare 😊 Thanks for watching buddy
This is a old video so hopefully you see this... ive just started to use a airbrush.. been priming warhammer with grey and a little but of flow improvement but when priming it looks like its not sticking in one place and its pulling away from certain areas i have 20psi not sure what could be the issue
Thank you for the info, I am a newbie to airbrushing so I am trying to get all the knowledge I can. Great video and thank you for your time to answer my question.
dirtysouth2821 your welcome buddy I do a live stream every Saturday night painting your always more than welcome to join in the chat and ask as many questions. Plus might have some tips 😊 Darren
Ancient Chinese technics, wear gloves, so you don't get paint on your hands. Can you recommend a good compressor for beginners, peace, stay safe and sound.
Rubber gloves are a good shout buddy and normally do wear them when airbrushing. the one I've got is Sparmax TC-620X Professional Mini Twin Piston Airbrush Compressor (2.5 Litre Air Tank)not cheap but out the many I've had its been the best so far. We are going to do a video very soon on compressor and what to look for.
I used 50/50 Vallejo Model Air Thinners to primmer I hope this video helps 😊
Can I ask, what pressure you have the compressor at? Is distance from the model a factor (except for obvious spider webbing)?
hey Adam I set my air compressor @20-24 psi and it dose depends on size and where on the the model I’m priming. Distance is normally between 4 to 6 inches away from the model I hope that helps 😊
Starting priming tomorrow morning and 50/50’is great to know now
Simplest explanation of how to use Vallejo primer that I've come across. 👍👍
Who else is here after dumping primer with no thinner and clogging their airbrush
😂😂😂😂😂 🙈🙋♂️
Thank you now i understand what i been doing wrong its thinners work like magic !! will try it for airbrush.

Excellent, short sweet just what I was looking for. Thank you.

questions dos it matter on what brand of thinner i see loads them cant decide on which one.
How does this compare to the badger stynylrez stuff?

Where was the next video about preshading?

Could be the model is not washed properly?
What I find helps for mixing is a Coke bottle top. Just pour it into the cup and you're away.
What psi do you have your compressor set at?
Hi dirtysouth2821 I set my Compressor to 20/24 psi

Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next.
How many drops of thinner and paint for a 50/50 ratio?
That white background and white stuff makes my eyes bleed
You mix vallenjo flow to the primer..?
Sorry for the slow reply
I used Vallejo Model Air Thinners to help it though the airbrush 😊
@@TwistedDice thanks
This primmer need use thinner or not..?
Yes you need thinner to thin down the primmer so it goes though your airbrush.
I normally go 50/50 thinner to primmer 😊
Vallejo Model Air 200 ml Thinners
@@TwistedDice ok..thanks

Vallejo isn't pronounced Valle-joe. the jo sound in Spanish is ho. Pronunciation is Valleho.
