• Thank for Watching! •
Looked at comments, not disappointed. This sweetheart is painting horses, everyone learning about airbrushes is painting for wargaming... with no small portion of a grim dark future where there is only war.
haha.
Great video. Honestly gave me confidence on what to buy to get started. Very concise and clear information.
Painting horses is much different than wargaming I’ve found out as well! Different needs in equipment.
Somehow managed to come from a Wargaming Page to Here. Pretty Horses
lol same
Me too! Great video!
HAHA me too!
Same! Hah
Def going to buy a horse and give it a shot . Paint so many mounts maybe painting a horse would be a nice change
I swear, you're like my model horse artist hero! I can't imagine I'll ever get this good, but I'd love to do this.
Thorough, concise, technical enough. Great video. In fact this is the best intro airbrush video I've seen.
I am recently getting into painting models and was looking for info on airbrushing as it’s all completely new to me. It was nice to have a video where someone realised you might not have hundreds and hundreds to splash out on the super best kit as a hobby. A very helpful and clear video. Thank you.
Young lady thank you so much for your videos. I wanted to find no BS videos on technique , how to with what and you nail it. You don't ramble on about how your mother's, Brothers ,cousins, third Uncle ,twice removed blah blah blah blah blah. No BS, talk about what you know and have learned and how to get it done. Your artwork is beautiful! I've learned a lot from watching your videos though I airbrush dye on leather items that I make. Keep up the good work and I hope you make crap tons on money on your videos.
Thank you so much. I agree there are a lot of really annoying tutorial videos out there. I try to stand out in being more concise & edited. So the progress is shown- but not entirely. Humans have short attention spans! I truly appreciate the comment. The support means so much
@@DeeJayBeStudios You are very welcome. You are quite talented. I can figure most things out. I'm a journeyman electrician , journeyman millwright, A.S.E Master certified automotive technician, very accomplished Tig welder, machinist and I enjoy leather working. I know natural skill and talent when I see it, and you have it.
You didn't ask but I've got some advice you may find useful.
Don't let some ass hat negative nelly get to you over any of your work or videos. Use negative feedback to your benefit. You are very good at what you do, use that information to get better.
Take good care of your hands and your eyes. I'm not joking here. I'm 50 now and my hands don't function like they used to. Keep that strong focus on health and safety you have going on. Always ware uv sunglasses, not cheap POS ones. You will thank me for that in 30 years.
Lastly, you should look into learning some basic leather work and start airbrushing leather. Wouldn't have to be an animal per say. Your eye for color is remarkable, and great detail. People would go bat shit ga ga over what I believe you could lay down on leather. If you want some to get started with, I'll send you some.
I'm not into horses (although yours look beautiful), but have interest in scale models (i.e. cars, military vehicles and planes, etc.). I'm shopping for my first airbrush and your video was very informative and gave me the right things to think about and look for. Thanks very much.
What about a camo ww2 war horse
Dont buy an Iwata now. Get a Master kit and get 3 brushes and a compressor for 130 bucks. Build yourself a spray booth for 35 bucks and get a Harder and Steenbeck when you get good.
@@SunDevil31Why not Iwata? You generally get what you pay for. Cheap compressor won't last as long as an expensive one.
@@ossian108 Up to you obviously. Personally, I like to learn on lower end and graduate to high end.
You're right. There is nothing wrong with your idea. What I was trying to say is that buying cheap Chinese-made compressors is a bad choice from an economic viewpoint.
Chinese hardware won't last as long as quality hardware. Quite often you pay more for the Chinese hardware because of price to "how long it will last" ratio. There's also matter of comfort. Good compressor means less frustration :)
Ps. Sorry for my funny English. I'm Polish ^^
Looking forward to using my horsie airbrush to paint model space marines and ww2 tanks!
in the grim dark future there are only horsies
Love the tanks.
I’ve used an Iwata airbrush when I taught my friend how to properly use it but I’ve been a Badger user for more than 20 years now. To me they have the same quality and Badger had come out with their top of the line airbrushes like the Badger Renegade RK-1 Krome. What I like about Badger is that I can personally bring my airbrush to their shop to be fixed in Franklin Park, Illinois and its about 45 minutes drive from my place. At times I can even wait while they fix the airbrush. Thank you for your very informative video and I will share this with my friends. Be safe
The quality of Badger is not quite up to the level of Iwata. Badger makes good brushes for Tshirt artist and model painting. But for automotive and fine art, Iwata as well as H&S, Creos, and a few others are in another league. Not that a Renegade or Sotar 20/20 aren't able to pull some very fine detail, but not with the consistency of a Micron, or infinity. A great artist can make anything work, but better tools make for less headaches. This has been my experience anyway.
Hi there, I have just finished building a timber rocking horse, but now I need to paint it. Stipple brushes just aren't producing the exact effect I want, so I thought I would look at airbrushing. Your video is wonderful - clear, concise and so informative. I feel confident I can now purchase the correct tool for the job. Congrats on a great video.
I want to start painting my own horses but don’t know what all in total I need your videos give a great rough draft and make things feel less daunting definitely a faithful follower!
Thanks simple and direct. Just what I needed.....
I build model cars,ships, and houses.the details on those horses are amazing!! great job and thanks for the educational video,always been curious about air brushing.
Honetly I have Nothing against Iwata but in my opinion Harder & Steenbeck is the wat to go. I have had a Harder & Steenbeck airbrush for 4 years now and it literally never failed on me once.
Good presentation and explanation. Just a few amendments.
With single actions you only press down, not pull back.
You need to drain that water from your compressor's water trap. Hope you drain the tank every week as well.
Do not use those little brushes in your airbrush. It has a metal center and can damage the soft brass insides.
That nozzle tool is not applicable to the Eclipse range. Even though it looks like you can take the nozzle apart, you should not. Even replacement nozzles come in a single unit.
The head wrench is also not necessary after the first clean. You just need to tighten the head finger tight.
A tip is to get a PVC hose from Iwata. They are lighter and softer. Much easier to handle then that thick braided hose.
Get some quick releases for your compressor and airbrush. You do not need to unscrew everything every time.
Otherwise great work. You get beautiful results with the short time you've been using it.
I’m definitely still learning myself. I’ve only been airbrushing for 2 years. Thank you for the tips. I will consider all these things for sure. I have learnt many things since posting this video as well. I appreciate a good airbrush enthusiast. Thanks for the comment
Really enjoyed your video, although I confess I'm not really a beginner, I own several airbrushes, but I like watching videos for beginners since there is always something new to learn. You picked a great airbrush to showcase! As it could easily last 20+ years Some of the airbrushes made in the early 1900s are not only still around, but they work as well as when they were first made.
I know this is an older video but I will add the big difference between that cheaper compressor vs the higher priced ones, is that the higher priced once are going to be much quieter. So if that is a concern it might be worth the higher price
I'm about to grab my first airbrush to work on my motorcycles. Thanks for recommendations as well as information! Can't wait to get started :) keep up great work!
1. Your work is incredible.
2. Do they make Missouri Foxtrotter? Had no idea there were model horses.
3. Iwata are great. Harder and Steenbeck imo are the best.
Great video and thanks for doing this. It's hard to find a clear buying guide with peoples' brand preferences and encouraging spending $300+ on one's first airbrush. The only piece of advice I would add is DON'T spend $25-$30 on an airbrush. The brush will work fine until you have to clean it, and then you'll spend more time disassembling and cleaning than you will airbrushing. I made that mistake and when I finally invested $100 CAD on a Badger Patriot I found ease of use and maintenance to be the biggest plus.
Just wanted to say thanks. I keep coming back to this video for the info. I finally got a chance to use my iwata hp-cs, but with a compressor I got as a hand-me-down. Loved the airbrush, but compressor was disappointing. Came back to this video and bought a compressor with a tank. Thanks for all the great info!! 🙂
You are so amazing you explain things so clear understanding it is a one time listen time no confusion plain and simple
Thank you! That’s the main goal of my videos!
Based my entire initial shopping list on this video. Thanks very much!
Very well put together info
Great video! I am looking to airbrush moving from spray cans and this video was helpful. Getting an Iwata Eclipse and a Timbertech AS186 compressor. I am personally going to use it to paint military models, I had no idea painting model horses was a thing
This was unbelievable helpful. Thank you for the help.
Excellent video I’ve been looking at videos the past couple months and I think this is the video that will make me pull the trigger no pun intended on my purchase of my first airbrush and compressor.
Awesome video!
Best video I’ve found on this subject, great job!
Don't forget about model railroading. I use my airbrushes for my models. Harbour Freight one for lacquer paints and a Badger 155 Anthem for acrylics. I beg to differ; Badger is the best airbrush line. My 155 Anthem will do as much as your Iwata and much cheaper. The Harbour Freight was only $89.00 with compressor and the Badger was only $58.00. Both of mine are bottom feed but can be used with colour cups.
Great video! Thank you for posting, I was so confused about the parts but you literally covered absolutely everything!!
Recently been wanting to paint some bigger miniatures with big panels so i decided to look into getting an airbrush, this video has helped me more than i could have hoped thank you so much
Glad I could help!
Very helpful, straight to the point video. I appreciate it coming from a beginner
Good video! #1 from my experience, BUY GOOD PAINT!! You get what you pay for. Vallejo is my favorite. If you have crappy cheap paint then it doesn't matter what equipment you own, bad paint produces bad results. If you have to thin acrylic, don't use water, use reducer. I started with top tier equipment and could not get it right until I realized that it was the cheap paint that I bought as a big set at a low price. Got a bottle of Vallejo model air and it all came together.
As my first best AB I purchased a PS289 0.3mm GSI Creos, using it for about 9 months, very happy. Nex two were PS290 0.5 trigger type and ps270 0.2mm. these are not cheap but reliable. For dirty painting (black paint or primer for example) I'm using cheaper ABs. These are Fengda ABs. Well, I have from Fengda almost the same setup 0.2mm Fengda BD-180, 0.5mm BD320, 0.8mm BD186, also additional parts for 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 mm needle set-up. I still have my first AB, in Poland it is called Magma AB-130E but actually it is Fengda BD130. It was my first AB (now I'm using it only for pre-shading), received it as a gift 1year ago, swapped nozzle/needle from chinese to japanese (was able to get a nozzle and needle from ps270 only for 25$) so outside it is a cheep chinese airbrush but from inside it is ps270 (of course there is a problem when it doesn't spray, so regulation of nozzle cap is needed, but all the time it works). One more AB I have (for free due to damage the delivery service did, so the store didn't have a new kit to send me and left me with money and AB kit) is NeoEco NCT-SJ83. It is cheap but it is a good quality AB.
I would like to test Anest Iwata ABs but maybe later. And would like to have a Meiji MP-3 ab, I have bigger spray guns from this manufacturer Finer-Core 13 and F410 1.5mm, very satisfied.
Have a good day 😉
Listening to you convinced me to buy the Iwata Revolution instead of the Badger 105 Patriot. I have been on the fence for a bit. I paint brass model trains using mostly enamels. It seems suited to the work I perform. Thank you so much for sharing your comments and opinions. I'm looking forward to watching your videos in the future.
This video was extremely helpful! Purchasing my Iwata now! Thank you very much.
I have the same compressor but without the tank, it also shuts off when you are not spraying. Your video makes it sound a lot louder than they actually are, so dont let this put you off people....
Best thing I found for cleaning the inside of the airbrush is the interdental brushes, they seem to come in the same sizes as many nozzles, 0.2 0.3 0.4mm etc and they are far softer than the nasty wire brushes you get in cleaning kits.
Very nice video for people getting into airbrushing, also came here from a mini-wargaming source :-)
Thank you so much. I've been painting Dungeons and Dragons miniatures for twice your life span and can't paint as well as you can. I want to try air brushing and this info really helped. Keep up the good work!
I've owned an HP-BC for over 30 years. Awesome airbrush. Advantage of siphon feed, Large bottle capacity. Great when doing larger projects.
When I purchased it, it was going to be used for a few murals. So I needed a larger capacity. After the job was completed, I realized it is a bit cumbersome when doing small scale models.
(1/76 scale etc) I do have a kinda under mount/side cup, more maneuverable, but as you said, there is a danger of tipping and dripping paint. Gotta be a bit more careful.
You learn the hard way....Lol (BTW, side mounts can be a bit more awkward to handle when using a large cup. Keep it in mind.)
Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Sure it will help beginners. And yup, Iwata is great! Cheers.
Wow. You did a great job on those horses. Look so real.
Great video. On ebay I bought a compressor like yours for $85.00. I have a Master G22 airbrush and I love it. I use it all the time. It comes with 3 Nozzle Sets (0.2, 0.3 & 0.5mm) Needles for $25.00. Your horse look great.
Thank you, this guide is exactly what I needed as I consider trying airbrushing for the first time for scale models. The links are very helpful too.
I'm so glad I found your video about the rare model, and saw this, I have been wondering how to and what to use to paint and touch up these models. And I've wondered about getting my own air brush kit. Thank you!!!
I just purchased an air brush off amazon and im super excited to get started.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great video for someone like me who has never used an airbrush. Have to say, though, I kind of couldn't wait for it to be over because of the annoying music background. Maybe just me, but wow. Still, really good info. Thanks for doing it.
Great video! Very informative and well organized. Thank you.
That is the same exact airbrush I have, but I haven’t been airbrushing very long and I don’t airbrush very often, so that doesn’t help, but it is a really nice airbrush. I won’t ever have your skills, but I sure enjoyed seeing the horses you’ve painted with your airbrush. You are quite skilled at your hobby young lady. Thank you again for showing the airbrush you use and I hope you have a wonderful evening!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support.
You are so very welcome young lady! And thank you for responding! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and an even better Christmas,
God speed
Thanks for this, just getting into airbrushing models and this was fantastic information!!
I appreciate the time you took to do this!
I didn’t know model horses were a thing till now but I’m intrigued
Great job young lady. Congrats !!!!
You are so beautyful artist.
Take care.
Deejay you are so sweet and knowledgeable about the airbrush!!!!
Thank you so much! so hard to find a decent budget airbrush guide.
nice video, the reason most painters know Iwata is that they also make spray guns, to paint cars, bikes, this is where most people know them.
Nice job on the video, DJ. Very thorough and well thought out. I would not have thought to include spare part and lube links. Thank you.
Thanks! This helps me choose my first airbrush kit
Thanks for the great advice and info. Your horses look great too!
Nice job explaining what is needed!
Thank you for this insight, i am looking to buy my first airbrush and have found this very helpful, all i have to do now is find everything on Amazon UK.
Thanks for this video! Lots of great info that I was looking for as I consider getting one. Also, your horses look awesome! I paint minis for games and have done a handful of horses and really enjoyed doing the different patterns.
I just got a airbrush. You're so helpful.
one that comes to mind is Wild Horses of Sand Wash Basin
I’ve dabbled in airbrushing for a few years. I have a cheap Testors Aztec that I’ve had for about 20 years. It’s my main “Go to” because I can lay smooth gloss coats with reduced enamels. I’ve also purchased a Badger Creshendo for a bit higher price, but I’ve been a little nervous about using it. I’m getting back into modeling, and I know it’s a much better brush. I’ve been looking at TH-cam videos to get me to use the Badger, and thanks for explaining what you’ve done. I’m gonna give the old Badger a try. Wish me luck! I’m gonna start an old kit that’s been on my shelf a long time. I’ve acquired a bunch of out of production kits, and want to be sure that my lack of knowledge wouldn’t be the reason why they might look bad. 😬
Yeah, You helped guide me. Thank you. I made a good choice. My first upgrade.
My concern is your health and safety. As a former finishing manager, you should make sure your respirator is also properly cleaned and maintained. Most filters have a short shelf life and need to be stored properly to keep them absorbing fumes, check your package. I am looking to get into airbrushing. Thank you for your input, I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I now use water based acrylics. So they aren’t particularly toxic. For spraying sealants and enamels, even more care is required. I cant smell any fumes when I use my respirator. So I believe that is enough care for the products I use.
This was really helpful! thank you so much!
You can start using your airbrush colors like a maven with TriaDart II - a limited palette based color synthesizer.
SUPER helpful
Very well made video,I kniw there are a lot of things to explain and not that much time but you said what is important,I have the same air compresor but not the same airbrush,I think i will buy one like yours,they seem to have the right quality,thanks you for the video
Your videos are so informative! Do you sometimes not use the airbrush at all during a custom? Also, it would be interesting to see how you sculpt horse faces/heads (if you would like)! They have so many fine details.
Thank you! I generally always use my airbrush now, it is the fastest way to get a basecoat down on the model. I use pastel for the final layers, for what I cannot achieve with the airbrush. For me personally, it is a speed factor. No need to pastel 5 layers of base when I can just airbrush it in an hour. I will be making a tutorial on pastelling in the future. A face sculpture video is in the works
Love your video, so helpful
Great info thank you you’re an excellent teacher
Like your vid. Will be in touch with some questions someday soon. Thanks!
This video was super useful!
Thanks for this video! Very informative! Well done.
Very informative, thanks very much. I've done some rattle can spraying so interested in the extra control that airbrushes offer.
Very helpful information! Love your videos!
Great content. Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for the info. I just bought my airbrush and compressor to extend my artwork.
IF you can save it up buy a Harder and Steenbeck Infinity CR plus, the 2+1 set { £220} comes with a real fine detail needle and a bigger needle set up for larger jobs, it is a proper artist tool and all serious modelmakers and graphic artists use this set.
You really will only buy it once in your lifetime and it will save you lots of heartache while your learning, it is a pro tool that is veryeasy to clean. All airbrushing takes practice no matter what the cost and IF you buy decent stuff and dont keep it up you WILL sell it on easily
Harder and Steenbeck is another great brand.
Thank you for this helpful video.
can you do a video on painting markings or painting manes and tails? :)
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!! 💕
Thanks very good info..for a beginner
Thank you!
Superb! Very very very good video ! Great!
Greetings from Zagreb / Croatia
I enjoyed your video & found it helpful. I am a model builder & like German WWII tanks which requires the use of an airbrush for what can be complex paint jobs. I am new to airbrushing & trying to consider what brand of airbrush to go with. Iwata has an excellent reputation. Are they easy to disassemble & clean?
Got a iwata,waiting for a kobalt 2gal quiet compressor,good job on the horses,it took me years to create a realistic bad paint job on military tanks😬
She's right - Iwata are expensive, but they will last a long time. I've been using the same 2 Iwata HP-C's I bought in the 80's - the nickel coating is all wore off the cups but they still work flawlessly.
Nice informative video. I use an Iwata Neo . Very nice airbrush. It uses the same nozzle and needle as yours.
It has a 0.35mm needle not a 35mm needle siphon feed from a bottle are better for larger items as you hold more paint also color changes are quicker with bottle feed
Holy shit you do some stunning work. I came from wargame miniatures and have stumbled across this video due to looking for a new compressor. Your work is incrediable. i have sub'd just so i can get some techniques for my warhorses. stunning.
4am watching this. Idk know why. Horses look amazing though!
Thank you so much for this video!
I don't have my first airbrush yet but looking at what I need for a newbie. Very helpful video, would like to know though where you buy your models from too?
I love your videos. Would you reveal which and how many colors you should buy as a beginner in order to be able to paint most horse colors?
Very helpful! Thank you~
subscribed!
thank you for such a great info.
Great video! Very helpful. Thank you :)
I found your Beginners Guide very helpful , Thank You so much for the editorial .
Very useful info. Thank you very much for sharing.
