Pro tip on extending the life of your acrylics or enamel paints. When you are done with them, wipe any excess paint off the rim of the jar/container. If you have any paint on the edge or rim, it will come between the lid and the container, eventually dry up, and let air in. If you make sure that area is cleaned off, no air will get in and you will maintain a nice seal.
3:32 he's spot on, believe it or not I'm an ex Royal Air Force Painter & Finisher (yes an actual trade til a few years ago) & have used these colours & many more on everything from mobile air traffic towers & Land Rovers to Typhoons & WW2 spitfires! I have sprayed hundreds of thousands of gallons of paint & I'M STILL learning my airbrush techniques & I just turned 50! Like the larger versions I still use technology & processes are forever changing so any newbies out there my advice would be just dive in, if you're not making mistakes you're not learning, plus I never had TH-cam vids like this when I started you lucky so & so's! 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
I love that Jon starts with the truth in answer to the first question. Trial and error. The worst thing you can do when starting scale modelling or figure painting is setting the expectation that everything you do has to be perfect the first time. It won’t be, it takes time to work the craft and get consistent results.
Yeah, getting an industrial airbrush to spray loctite really humbled me We ended up just galvanising the whole thing and that worked but i still feel defeated by it.
For mixing I've been using shot glasses and bar tending measuring 'cups' as an alternative to the disposable 1oz cups. Similar size, durable and easy to clean.
Newbies watching this: Please use ventilation when you go to airbrush. Have a spray booth moving the paint particles away from your irreplaceable lungs.
I started using MM’s paint when they first came out and have always been very happy with the results. Little touches like putting a ball bearing in each bottle to help mix any settled pigment are important for getting consistent results. The polyurethane additive really gives you a tougher finish and a nice eggshell look. This is a really excellent product.
This video is exactly what I needed, thanks! Picked a brand new airbrush kit from my dad's garage a couple weeks ago (he passed away a few years ago) and I've been playing Gloomhaven for about a year and absolutely love it but I suck at painting and airbrush seemed like the easiest way to get into painting figurines with my handicapped artistic side and you just got me ready to try. Thanks so much ! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome find. My own Dad actually just hooked me up with a bunch of airbrush stuff that he scooped up when they were closing the old school he worked at. Here's to Dads and their help with our hobbies!
To anyone new, keep in mind, these are acrylic-water based paints. If you're painting with enamels, or lacquers you're going to want to mask up. Always do a little research on paints you use. Mission models=safe.
You still want to mask up with acrylics. They're not toxic, but they do throw a lot of particulate into the air and that can damage your lungs over time.
I was wondering about that. Especially when cleaning with the thinner, seems like you wouldn't want to breath in that mist all the time. Would a spray booth with extractor sort that? See quite a few makers using them. Or is it still recommended to use a mask even with a booth?
Jeff G has far more experience than I do with Airbrushing, but still a bit surprised that he's not using any (that I can see) venation/air filtering system when spraying - I guess as Jeff is using water based paints. Still a spray area is good way to contain overspray. My 1st model spray area was in a corner of my kitchen, where I used a modified lg cardboard box with a sm soldering fan (as they come with replaceable filters) at the back. After month of spraying the filter was 'painted' with... well.. paint. I also had a sm reversible, inexpensive, window fan to exhaust air outside. Worked great, though still had a 1/2 face respirator if I was painting a lot. At my new apt., I 'replaced' the cardboard box with a larger plastic storage container (from Home Depot, or Target, or....), on its side, that I mounter/attached a soldering fan mounted at the back. I'll still install a window fan as my build space is in the guest bedroom/office space, but the workspace is still in progress.
Actually, when I started, I only bought the obligatory primary colors and metalics like gun metal, aluminum, and chrome silver, and black and white. For diffetent colors, I mixed them myself. As a starter, color accuracy was the least of my concerns.
I bought in to the Mission Models Paint line right off the bat and followed the direction to the letter. My results, as well as those of my best modeling buddy were less than ideal. I'm not a newbie. I've been modeming for 50 years and have tested many brands. I shelved the Mission Models Paints among with the thinner and the poly additive (that turned to a thick goo rendering it unusable. Fast forward three years and I found myself in need of red and paint for the Mobius Spider Man kit. I shook my head when all I had for the right colors was MMP. Throwing caution to the wind, I tried a trick I had tested with Hobby Lobby craft paints. The secret? The Mojo juice? FUTURE floor finish. Plain old Future. I mixed with as an additive/thinner with the MMP, dropped it into my Iwata HP-CS and it sprayed beautifully at about 15psi, dried hard, and held up to masking without peeling off. Future is gone now, but I've found a substitute in Holloway House Floor Finish. The MSDS says it is very similar to Future.
future has super slow drying time, so it presumably acts as a retarder to prevent dry tip. I have no experience with MMP but for other water-based paints I've had great luck with vallejo's airbrush flow improver to prevent dry tip Also future has been discontinued in a lot of places, but basically the same stuff is sold as "quickshine" at pretty much every hardware store
The polyurethane additive he uses is prone to going off. To increase its shelf life, store it out of direct sunlight and in a cool place. Even your refrigerator will work fine for storage.
Clearest and best filmed tutorial I've ever seen! Trademark of Tested. Still don't want an airbrush. Painting minis and figures is meditative to me and I feel an airbrush would ruin that.
If you really want a tip, if you are using Mission Models paint, please use Createx 4011 REDUCER. Don't use the Mission Models thinner; you will have better results if you use the Createx reducer 4011. I thought John was going to add it to the line. CREATEX MAKES THE Mission Models Paint; Mission Models don't make their paint. Wow, at least he mentioned letting it sit for 10 to 15 minutes; that is, in my book, the number one important success to painting this paint. That gives the reducer time to break down the paint. Sometimes I let it sit in an airtight sealed bottle overnight, but you can premix bottles of paint. I keep my favorite colors in 2 oz bottles.
@@Brent-Nelson68 ask the owner of createx. But createxs make many different paints. The 4011 came out after the mission model paint was finished . now they recommend using the 4011 and the old as a cleaner . The mission model paint is an awesome product. Some of the best on the market
This video is great timing. I told my wife I want a airbrush system for Christmas this year and nothing else (well besides a couple gunpla and paints) And out of all the videos I've watched in the past year or so on how to airbrush. I really enjoyed how straight forward this one was and just kind of leaping into it. Going to for sure order Mission Model Paint when I get my airbrush. I think a follow up video on what airbrush systems to buy on your budget would be great! Thank you for shooting and uploading this!
Depends on brands and specific colors. Some can contain heavy metal or other stuff you don't want to breathe. But I asume because this guy make this paint he knows it safe
You should still use a paint booth or respirator. When I say "paint booth" I don't mean some big industrial rig, I mean something as simple as one of those collapsible plastic units sold on Amazon for about $120 or so. If not that, one of those 3M respirators that has the replaceable filters.
The problem with the polyurethane additive is, if you don’t use it right away or in a timely manner and may dry up or harden on you happen to me with a hole for Ron’s bottle
@@LastBastian You did lad, you sure did. But that’s ok, we all start somewhere. But I do know that Mission Models paints is a pleasure to work with for me at my skill level. I’m not knocking other paints, I’m just saying for me, it’s great‼️
Instead of being a plug for his own paint brand. It would have been great if you actually discussed properly what are good colours to start with for beginners. Personally I've been airbrushing for 20 years but to someone just starting they need to know what basic colours to get. Not just told how they are displayed on a stand. Basic primary and secondary colours will get you a long way, especially if you learn how to mix.
Hi Maroo, I read your post and would like to ask what you would recommend as a good 'starter' airbrushing set. I've seen some that have thumping great noisy compressors, and others that look like plug-in electric ones... There so many videos on TH-cam and they all have their merits of course but I'd like the impossible - a good one without involving the bank manager. She needn't get involved, lol.
@@MaboPete Airbrush - Patriot 105, Iwata Neo or HP-CS. Whichever you can get the cheapest. Compressor - small chinese ones on ebay/amazon with a 3L black tank. All are the same unless you plan on running it all day. Hose that fits iwata - cheap on ebay. Will need a different hose adaptor for patriot.
buy a ultra sonic cleaner and the air brush with the jar feeders underneath, it makes cleaning and changing colors easier than the top loading style shown here
Hm it's an interesting video. Hope it brings some more people into tje hobby. But i have some concerns. You don't talk about to protect yourself from the micro dust am airbrush produces. Here it says you add poly to the paint thats stuff you don't wanna have in your lungs, acrylics or not. And even when people say acrylics is ok, its just saver than enamel or lacquer bit not save to use. Please use a spray booth with good ventilation and a respirator with the right filters. Have fun in the hobby!
It's so nice to see Hollywood A-listers branching out into new businesses and picking up hobbies 😜 I'll bet my wallet, this guy does a killer Goldblum impression!
Juat curious, This appears to be similar to the createx paint line. Especially the poly The createx 4050 uvls even comes in the same size bottle, with the same cap, and has the same qualities, all the same options.
I tried airbrushing once..and - of course failed.. But the way Jon describes it makes you feel "I can do that!" - so maybe it's worth giving it another try.. 😉
Wish my city had a local paint maker, the paint shelves here are always missing the best paints. To see a fully complete display is just movie magic or something.
i have been using MM paints since i saw this video and I love them...they cover perfectly. But I have a question...what grit sanding sponge are you using on that first part when you're talking about sanding out imperfections?
Great video Norm! I've been using MMP for a while now and I'm very happy with them. I wonder if a series of tours of some of the great hobby shops would be popular? Burbank HoH is a wonderful shop, one of my favorites due to the unusually comprehensive stock of tools, paints and weathering supplies. Another favorite in the greater LA area is Brookhurst Hobbies, and if you come down for Comicon, Discount Hobby Warehouse in San Diego is well worth a visit. In Sacramento, R/C Country Hobbies, despite the name, is a very large store that has a extensive selection of scale model kits, particularly a lot of Gundam.
Dumb question perhaps, but I'm not familiar with these paints. I am an absolute novice to airbrushing, so was wondering if these paints have much toxicity, as I did not notice the gentleman wearing a mask, or using a spray booth, probably for filming purposes. I have tried airbrushing a bit, but find using masks, or even a spray booth to be slightly limiting.
UGHHH All the Aoshima wheels in the background of the demo…I would KILL to have a hobby shop like this in my area Edit: If that was the case though, I would be broke living in a home made out of Aoshima boxes on the sidewalk…
My biggest hinderance (among many) is being able to "see" what I want the model to look like and bring it together. So I never know what colors I should or want to use.
Thinners can be left to settle out for re-use. Most sources I've read recommend putting your used up chems into a glass jar, packing them up securely, and taking to the local dump/recycling place for disposal as hazardous waste. IANACE (I am not a chemical engineer)
If you're planning on multiple coats, should you wait to add the poly additive until the last coat? Or add poly to each coat? I'm worried the poly would make subsequent coats not stick. I'm painting resin 3d prints, printed in resin grey. Should I primer them first? Or can I add color immediately?
The smellier and more toxic paints usually give better results and durability. Search for video by the spoon guy on airbrushing acrylics. Most need light passes.
I’m glad Jeff Goldblum has found a hobby. Interesting video.
Literally just about to post this XD
Dude he looks like him soo much it is uncanny.
Was going to say exactly the same XD cheers
@@MichaelAW17 he talks like Goldblum.

Yeah, getting an industrial airbrush to spray loctite really humbled me
We ended up just galvanising the whole thing and that worked but i still feel defeated by it.

Also less waste. Not having to throw out a plastic cup each time you mix some paint.
Yep, me too.
