    I just got this airbrush from Hobby Lobby on 7/25/2023 for $149. It beat any online price I found by $20-$40 and no shipping
    Love your videos. No mindless chatter, just continuous solid info. And no obnoxious music or special effects. Good stuff. Thx

    I took the long way around to the best airbrush ive ever used. Ive tried Amazon specials, Badger, H&S Ultra, Eclipse HP-BS and finally got the HP-CS. I now do not use any of the others. The HP-CS is pure joy to use, lays down paint smooth as silk and is SUPER easy to mix in the cup and clean. I did get mine at Hobby Lobby also for $149 with the cleaner, lube, water trap and paints. Best deal going. Grab one and you WILL NOT be disappointed. I dont usually gush over a product, but this one is gush worthy!

    Thanks to videos like this I'm convinced that the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS will be my first airbrush. Why start with a "starter" one or a cheaper model only to find out later that if you just went a step further to begin with, you could have saved yourself a lot of hassel? I'm a retired guy who's getting back into building plastic model airplanes and cars. It's my first airbrush ever, and I'm convinced I'll be getting the right one. 😉

    Just ordered my Iwata Eclipse Hp Cs, so excited . I made the mistake of thinking I didnt deserve an airbrush like the Iwata Eclipse, Hp Cs and so I bough a cheap Amazon Iwata Knock off. I was able to get the cheap amazon air brush to work by thinning the Acrylic paints, and adding Air-brush flow improver only to have the nozzle eventually still clog up, what a hassle. Yes a cheap Amazon Iwata knockoff will work but not consistently working. I found keeping the cheaper air brush working was more time wasted/spent troubleshooting than painting.. I know the Iwata Eclipse will take my Model painting to the next level. I am so thankful I found your Channel great reviews, and you pay for what you get. I enjoy your vidoes, your voice is fine LOL don't change your videos for a few clowns complaining.

      don't shortchange yourself- of course you deserve a good airbrush! I started with a cheap iwata knock off back in the day as well. Great place to get started, get the basics down, then move up to the higher end ones like the eclipse. It's my favorite airbrush ever- i'll bet you'll love it. Thanks for the kind words and best of luck to you.

    At 1:37 that nozzle is actually fused to the threading part of the airbrush and isn't compression fit on my new Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. I'm a little confused on why and how to take it apart since every disassembly video including the one by Iwata themselves show it as a compression fit. I've triple checked to make sure I have the same airbrush and, yea, it's an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS.

Still has the same needle and nozzle. Air leaks a little around the head cap but nothing a little beeswax cant cure. Or maybe I will treat it to a new O ring :) This airbrush is my pride and joy.

    I got an Eclipse after watching a gamut of reviews as I was looking for a good all-purpose step up from the cheap Master Airbrush I had been using for practice.
    Overall I'm very pleased with it, I've used it to completely paint my DeAgostini Millennium Falcon, and the Eclipse helped me achieve an impressive finished result I definitely couldn't have obtained otherwise.
    My only problem I encountered with it was a clogged nozzle that took quite some time to clean out, but I think that falls down to user error/inexperience, not thinning my paints enough, and not cleaning it thoroughly enough after each session.

    The Eclipse is my go to brush to recommend to people once they have become familiar with the airbrushing basics. I usually recommend a harder and steenbeck Ultra for newbies and if they enjoy it, I suggest they upgrade to an eclipse eventually. It's just such a nice intermediate airbrush that does everything you need in my hobby (Miniature painting).

    I have the Iwata High Performance HP-B Plus which has a .2mm nozzle. Seeing that the Custom Micron is only .02mm smaller, how much difference is there between the two? Sorry for the bad pun. For a future show, could you make one for airbrushing mountains? I'm not talking about simple gradients like on a t-shirt, but realistic mountains with a lot of details. This isn't very difficult with a brush and oil/acrylics, but I'm finding it very challenging with an airbrush. And as another person said, this is the best airbrush site on TH-cam. I love the way you explain things and your voice is perfect, not too low.

    • @theartworkshop
      @theartworkshop  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for the kind words. The Iwata High Performance HP-B is just as good as a micron. I can paint exactly the same with both, so you are good to go! I will eventually get to more landscape paintings, but not any time soon. Study reference photos of mountains, and use shields or ripped pieces of paper to paint in sharp lines. Take your time and keep practicing! Best of luck.

    I have some, what looks to be corrosion(?) in the paint cup of my Iwata HP-CS I bought from a major retailer. It looks like the chrome has rubbed come off, and maybe brass underneath? Should I be worried about this? What might I have done that could cause this? I do use some solvent-based paints, AK Real Color or Tamiya XF using Mr Color Leveling Thinner, but I've not heard of those being reactive with chrome. Occasionally I'll run some Deluxe Brush Cleaner through to destroy any acrylics that might be lingering. I spray through Iwata Madea airbrush cleaner, and sometimes let the paintcup soak with it over night, or for an hour during paint sessions, to loosen up any of my water based acrylics.
    Or should I just not worry about this at all? I love the brush, I swap out the needle and nozzle to .5's so that I can get primers and varnishes on easy peasy, and find I can still do almost everything I was doing with my smaller needle. I use a ps-771 for any real detail work I have to do.
    Thank you!

    • @theartworkshop
      @theartworkshop  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      unfortunately, this has happened to every airbrush I own, especially after a year or so of heavy use. The chrome tends to wear off exposing the brass inside the paint cup. Doesn't have any effect on the airbrush except for aesthetics. I wouldn't worry about it!

The only thing wrong with these two is the less than stellar chrome finish on the inside of the color cup--nothing else....yet they're both fully functioning airbrushes just like the actual Microns they're meant to be parts donors for. Both cost me about $65 each with free express shipping from Japan...my last one arrived in less than three weeks. I'm contemplating getting one of the "irregular grade B" 200 B guns (.18 mm) for $80 next paycheck, plus some spare needles--a 3-pack of .23 Micron C needles is about $56 right now because of the weak JP yen compared to the US$...only a year ago they were almost $30 apiece with no 3-packs available!
