Everybody clicked for the airbrush
Nooooo!!!
I actually did
Yes brother
I don't even know what airbrushing is, but I watched it to the end
WRONG!
Always thank you for pleasant videos. Your doggy is very refined.
Started this hobby this quarantine and this has been very helpful transitioning from drybrush to airbrush painting. Thank you!
That thumbnail got me 😁
Much enjoyed seeing someone new into the hobby with passion.
Wow, the spray booth looks really great! Thanks for that recommendation!
I'm a simple man. When I see airbrush, i watch.
On the air compressor, the upper body is the compressor, the lower body is the air tank. Having an air tank means the compressor can fill the tank with compressed air and not run continually, like your former compressor. Next is the regulator which allows you to change the pressure of the air going to the air brush. This is an important part that some people overlook as you would use a much higher pressure to spray primer (like 25 - 30 PSI) than you would to do detail blending work (8-12 PSI). Note that those numbers are very adjustable, and will change depending on your airbrush and paint/primer. At the bottom of the regulator is the moisture trap. The release valve is to drain the moisture. When air is compressed, the humidity in the air is squeezed out as water. You don't want to randomly add more water to your airbrush line (messes with the airbrush and the paint), so having a moisture trap to remove that water is important.
Your 2nd compressor is a single tank. The first one you bought doesn’t have a tank to store air so it needs to kick on everytime you use it therefore much easier to overheating. Having a tank helps to regulate pressure so it only kicks on when the pressure drops below certain threshold.
Exactly how I see it. The first one is basically just a motor that has to keep running during use.
I got that Master airbrush/compressor kit when I was starting out, too. I still keep it around as a cheap burner brush for dirty work like priming and base work.
Lots of good information thank you for making, sharing and posting your work
Gotta buy of those spraybooths!!!! I agree with you, it takes a significant amount of time to set up everything to paint and then to properly clean the airbrush but tbe results are worth it.
Thank you for sharing!!!!
Great video, I've been planning on getting into airbrushing for some custom dioramas. I hope you upload a demonstration of painting with your set-up. Thanks for sharing!👍👍👍👍
I really wish that more videos about airbrushing were as pleasant to watch as yours! I've been airbrushing for years now but I still like to watch videos because every so often I pick up something new. Besides the fact that you look and sound better than most, I'm so grateful that you use a compressor with a tank! Tanks make a monumental difference! Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Cool. Ton of useful info. You convinced me to get a H&S Infinity cr. I currently use H&S Ultra.
I recently bought a Sparmax TC-610H Plus air compressor and that one is very quiet. Oh, and Harder & Steenbeck also makes good airbrushes. Definitely an alternative to Badger or Iwata.
Me too. great quiet pro class set
Almost all of the name brand compressors are the same compressor as this one just mounted in a sheet metal box.
Been slowly saving things I think might need to start building to my wish list. This vid and your links helped, thanks 🙂
Just the video i was looking for/needed THANK YOU!!!!
Brought me here via suggested video, not disappointed...
Dayum! I want that spray booth.
I remember buying those Tamiya paints as a kid and they were affordable, now they are freaking expensive. The best thing about those paints were you could brush them on and they left barely any paint brush marks. Easy clean up also. I even still have my old badger airbrushes, The high end ones were nicely made.
Hello Gunpla meli, I am looking to weather my own model trains and found your know-how and video to be very useful. Thank You for posting this video.
Regulator - Nailed it!
I wanted to get into Gunpla building but didn’t know where to start with all the extra tools I’d need so I’ve been going around TH-cam looking for information. As a fellow Floridian, a lot of what you just said regarding products and where you can get them and what works best in this climate was really relevant to me and I’ll be sure to look at more of your videos to help me out
This video makes me wanna do airbrushing now. Wow.
Wow, that are some *Massive* collection you got there...
In case someone finds this on TH-cam like me, my thoughts on brushes etc.
Iwatas are great airbrushes. I sold my Eclipse eventually because I got fed up with how much more difficult it was to clean than my badger and H&S brushes. Badgers are the most economical brushes you can buy in the states. Badger Patriot 105 is always the brush I recommend people start with because it’s very forgiving and hard to damage. I still use mine to prime and base larger models. The current other brushes I own are a Badger SOTAR 20/30 and an H&S Infinity CR Plus. The sotar is a great step up to do more detail. The Infinity, while being the Lamborghini of airbrushes (literally the best money can buy) is more of a brush you “want” rather than one you “need”. I can do 95% of the same thing with my SOTAR for only a slight decrease in quality and ease of use.
I also have the same airbrush booth. I use two “daylight” desk lamps as opposed to a LED strip for better lighting.
This is convenient since I've been considering getting a painting kit.
Same airbrush I use! My Paasche is nice too but the Iwata beats it for control and weight any day!
Thanks for the video!! I love seeing other people's setups!
Thanks for the video Meli! Very informative it really helped me decide to save up for a good airbrush!
Big thumbs up for excellent recommendation. I use the same Iwata airbrush and the same spray booth. I also have an Iwata compressor. A little more money but well worth it. That "pressure relief" is actually what you use to blow the water out of the moisture trap which is what that glass container is. Excellent paint recommendation also. You really know what you're doing.
Love the airbrushes in this video.
nice! I am just starting down the airbrush path, didn't even know they made paint booths for them!! GREAT! thanks
Thanks for another video Meli!
Thanks for the tips. Especially the extractor unit. I like your display cabinets too btw.
This was a very good overview of the components of your setup. Thank you for posting this. I'd like to suggest that if you could let the camera have more time to focus on details like the manufacturer's information and model number of the air compressor and the "airbrush booth", and also the paints and thinner products you've tried that gave you the best results it would make these videos easier to follow for us novices thinking of giving this hobby the "next step" to getting properly equiped. Please do a follow-up to this with the ventilation set-up an lighting in the "airbrush booth." We would like to see how that works in an apartment with such clean white carpeting and walls and the challenge of humidity; especially with Spring and Summer conditions escalating. Keep up the good work!👍👍
Thanks for sharing your ideas and stuff regarding what kind of tools you use and paints. started building/collecting gunpla kits last year and like you priorities first busy with work havent tried painting my kits yet. I only use markers and put some panel lines on it though it still decently looks good.
I would like to recommend the Paasche D3000R air compressor. It sells for about $150 at Midwest Airbrush Supply. It's nearly the exact same thing Meli is showing us here. It comes with a regulator, moisture trap and pressure gauge showing both P.S.I. and BAR (essential features that you'll have to buy otherwise). Most important, it has a tank (I believe it's 1 gal.), which, as Meli explains, is very important. The motor is quiet and the coupling fits both Paasche and Iwata air hoses. I've had mine for 7 years, and I love it!
Thanks for the review... I especially appreciate the spray booth part. Aside from keeping me from destroying the area where I live, it'll reduce fume inhalation. We had a huge spray booth in college, but I never gave a mobile booth a thought.
This has been very helpful 🙂. Thank you for posting this video. Have an awesome day 😎..
awesome video, I always wanted to learn about airbrushing. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the info. I am gonna purchase that box thingy for spray painting :)
Thank you for the info on the filter system. I am going to get one of those. I just started airbrushing indoors.
A for effort and i love your portable spray booth set up, really nice :)
I love your channel. Just keep doing what you love. Long live your channel.
Thank you for the video cause im really think on having airbrush set this year 🤔
Thank you for sharing, @Gunpla meli. The "regulator" is a pressure regulator and water filter combination unit. The dial on the side shows the air pressure going out, and the valve at the bottom would drain any collected water filtered out of the compressed air out on its way to the airbrush. Being FL myself, I am familiar with the humidity, and that filter would be a great asset if you were working outdoors, working in an airconditioned environment, the humidity is pretty much handled by the A/C. What you have currently is a compressor and an air tank. Your description of the original compressor unit was one that did not have an auto-off feature and lacked an air tank.
Another quality video! Keep it up more videos. 👌
keep it flowin...i been creating for 37 years and i dig your confidence.
Cheer's
H.L.
I have that same compressor. Got it off Amazon and it's perfect. No fused hose, either, which is an issue with a similar-looking model. Be sure, potential buyers, that you can remove the hose.
how loud is it
Also line the bottom and, sides of the insides with masking tape to help with keeping the unit cleaner.
I've been a Gunpla builder since I am kindergarten kid. Never imagined beautiful woman overseas like you enjoying Gunpla just like me. And you have more models, showcases, tools, and PASSION than I do!! Thank you so much for your nice videos. Arigato^^ from Japan.
Gunpla is for everyone! Thanks for watching and I love Japan :D
Both informative and not monotone? Finally, another enthusiastic Gunpla TH-camr to add in with Mecha Gaikotsu. Hard to come across users who aren't monotone.
"Yea... so... like... it's a good build and stuff. I really like the--" DEAR GOD. Bless your soul and keep up the good work!
Thanks. I just watched and ordered one of those booths. Good video
i highly recommend the Iwata Eclipse as well, nozzle is big enough to lay down base coat quickly yet fine enough for small details. i also find it the easiest to clean and disassemble since the nozzle isnt threaded but held in place with a compression nut, so no tools required.
I’ve had my Iwata Eclipse C for well over a decade and it’s my workhorse. I use it for Gunpla and miniature wargaming.
I’ve got a similar spray booth off of Amazon though always set up now that I have a dedicated room in my house. If you can’t vent it out a window you can tape a large garbage bag around the end of the vent to capture any unfiltered particles.
I use water-based acrylics for wargaming so I use them for Gunpla as well. Several companies have started making mecha specific paint lines (Vallejo, Secret Weapon miniatures) which are designed to be extremely resistant to coming off from parts rubbing together.
Alclad is awesome but you MUST wear a mask even with a filter. Enamels are really horrible for your lungs.
I used to live in Miami and understand the struggles with the humidity. Not that Orlando is too much better. Good video though.
Alright! You sold me on the indoor painting cabinet! The fact that it folds up and makes it portable is awesome! I'll look at Harbor Freight in Waco next time I go there see if they have one if not I'll have to go somewhere else that specializes in that kind of stuff. May have to go online thanks for the video girl!
Amazon. I got mine from there. Portable Airbrush Spray booth. Works great just a bit noisy. They also have them with LED lights
Great video - neat set up too. I use Sparmax and Harder & Steenbeck airbrushes, great kit, great value.
I have the same set up. Same air compressor from Amazon but my Iwata is a trigger handle type. I had trouble attaching the water trap cause it sat crocked. I had to buy a fitting for it. Works great though
I just came across this post and will attempt to help you to understand your compressor system. The gauge is an air pressure gauge that lets you know what pressure the tank will release or is releasing air at. It normally shows one reading while at rest and will drop down a bit when you start releasing air through your airbrush or whatever. The regulator controls the air pressure and it is the black knob right next to the air gauge. The other clear thing with the release valve/button on the bottom is a water trap. As the compressor compresses air, condensation occurs and the trap helps to remove water from the air line so it doesn't end up getting sprayed out of your airbrush. Hope this helps you.
Great video. I also started with a cheap Master airbrush and now I have an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS.
You can use the leveling thinner for both tamiya and mr. Hobby.
Thanks for the help. I’m very new to the hobby
hey there, thanks for the very informative video what really caught me is that awesome portable spraybooth u got there, at first i thought it was just a sitting power regulator or a power supply for your computer but when u opened it i really never thought that its a spraybooth and i really need that stuff so bad, i have a DIY spraybooth im currently using but living in a small apartment just take so much space especially if your not using it but with this one its so very convinient, anytime, anywhere u just can move it with ease, ill definitely gonna get myself one, and oh btw just a suggestion using a pressure of 20 to 30 psi btw i think its too much IMO, why not try and see 15 to 12 psi, i think its more less pressure it will give on ur compressor, not much fumes bouncing and flying around, only that you have to thin ur paints a bit more that the 15 to 12 psi pressure can atomize perfectly well ☺️😊😊👍👍
New subscriber. I’m also new to the art of airbrushing so thanks for sharing your videos and information. We all have to start somewhere. Stay well and safe Artie 😊
Very helpful! Thank you :)
I have the same compressor from Amazon. It’s a champ.
Nice video, I just got one of those paint booths. I love it!
Thanks for this video! Very informative.
Beautiful airbrush artwork 👍👍
Big like 👍
Thank you meli... great video👌
I love you’re use of technical terms the thingy ma bob and what not lol
Thanks for sharing your setup! I really need to get myself a decent airbrush - I just need to learn to look after the one I have first... I have ruined 2 needles by dropping them and rolling over them with my chair...
Masters was my first airbrush and it was good for a few projects. but overtime it started to die on me. I transitioned to the Iwata HP-C and its an awesome airbrush! I still use it till this day and i had for almost 5+ years!
that's dope we got the exact same setup.
lol. Maybe all this will be my self-reward when I finally get my office clean enough to do such projects.
Great video. I want an airbrush now.
Great system you got. I like DIY creators
Love your airbrush💕💕
Awesome set up.
What a pleasant video!
Great Content as usual 😍
Very informative vid! This was great as I've wanted to try airbrushing again which I haven't done since High School because I didn't have a dedicated space with a hooded vent.
Great vid girl. I have the same paint booth. But I have the LED one . My compressor and paint gun are both IWATA brands . Was able to get them this tax season. Keep on doing what you like and we'll watch your progress.
Keep the vids coming Meli!
Beautiful 😍👍🏼
Iwata are some of the best you can buy!
Definitely have to agree with that.
Harder & Steenbeck would disagree.
What a nice pair of airbrushes! They look so beautiful and natural. I loved your compressor also. It is so hot!
Oh you are awful...
You have selected the same products I use. All quality and consistently dependable. You can use the Mr. Color Leveling Thinner with even the Tamiya line of paint and even their Acrylics since they are solvent based. Iwata airbrushes are top notch and I would also recommend GSI Creos (Mr Hobby) line as well. Harbor Freight Tools sells a good compressor that is pretty quiet and has a tank. You can choose the 1 gallon or two gallon of the FORTRESS ULTRA QUIET line. The two gallon is bigger but, will rarely need to start up during painting due to the size of the tank. Good Luck !
Hi Meli. Round disc is a turner so when you are painting larger pieces like terrain you can turn them. 👍🏻 adapter for tube will be so you can connect it to a window strip to shoot the fumes out the window. ☺️👍🏻
I've been wanting to try air brushing and your vid helped big time. Great job as always 🤘🤘
airbrush is really fun. you can finish it really nice. try !!
Aaaah, this video is really helpful for when I start customising my kits 😸✨

Very helpful vid thx meli!
‘’ I Pretty much stick to oop! ‘’ @10:41 was a priceless moment indeed, had me lmao 😂 thanks for the tips.. I’m going to pick up a spray box now
Good information once again. Just some info, the pressure regulator is the knob that adjusts said pressure. The gauge is what you pointing at. PSI means Pounds per Square Inch. I used to use an airbrush when I did model car kits. But I moved away because I saw other techniques with spray cans. I would say using an Airbrush is perfect for Gundam kits though. I liked how informed the viewers on how much pressure you used to paint, that’s good knowledge! About video coverage, please be slow when bringing objects up to the camera, gives it time to adjust. You did an awesome job of comparing a past airbrush to your current one too. You covered the why! Look forward to your next video! Keep up the good work!
I’ve been looking into that exact spray booth, it looks sweet. Thanks for the video.
don't it's cheap you can make one for half the price X10 better
You know, I was going to build my own booth initially, but this little pre-fabbed unit is so perfect and reliable, plus you can buy replacement filters on Amazon...the booth was only around $100. Also, if you want to increase the size, you can buy a second one and hook them together for twice the footprint. I know Byron means well below, and building one would be fun if you're handy and have the time, but these little units are worth the money and convenience IMO.
I like your combo. I'm waiting for your painted build gundam(s).
That's a great paint setup 👍cut Dobie
Great info, thanks! 👍
I just got my iwata I'm stoked
Nice video, and you are correct with name of the item "Regulator". The air regulator regulates the amount of air coming from the air tank. Depending on where you live, due to the amount of humidity in the air, you may need an air drier filter after the regulator to remove moisture from the compressed air. Also, there should be a valve on the bottom of the air tank so you can remove the condensed air (water) from the tank, this will help prevent the tank from rusting out.
I just bought the same Iwata last week before finding your channel today. They were pretty much $149 from everywhere but Chicago Air Brush had no sales tax and free shipping.
