I am having trouble with my air brush. I have a paasche double action Bottom feeder. When I go to paint the the paint just bubbles in the cup like its blowing air not sucking it out. It get the bubbles to go down and it just does it repeatedly, little spurts of paint will spray out But not...

Im building a Tiger I and am having problems getting the interior primed. I think my first problem I think is that I glued just about every interior piece in before I painted everything. So my current problem is with the primer. I mix the Vallejo grey primer with water and it just "dewed" up on...

I am trying out a more detailed tank interior than when I built a M3A1 and was thinking for how to paint it. Is it easier to paint the small pieces like seats, levers, radio and such unglued and paint the interior color then glue them in painted.

Hey guys, I just finished the camo on my Dragon Jagdtiger Henschel Production type and am wondering which wash to use. Its the dark yellow with brown and green camo. I thought I read somewhere the burnt umber works better with the German yellow color but I haven't been able to find the...

Here kitty kitty. Here is my next project, the 1943 Jagdpanther. I figured it's a pretty laid back build with nothing to comPlicated. I'm going to try out some battle damage this time and have it buttoned up. A few went to the eastern front and I have been I thing to try the AK chipping magic...

So this is my first attempt at fully weathering a AFV. I tried a little bit of everything just to see how it turned out and what really worked together and what didn't. 1. I did an overall dark wash with some black oil paint diluted with turpentine (inside and out). 2. Added some of Ak's engine...

I've seen many people paint German vehicles that were the desert yellow i guess you would call it with a redish brown primer. I have Vellajo Air Rust color and wondered if that would be comparable to the redish brown. The LHS is not really that local for me and I don't want to make a trip just...

Does anyone know a dealer in the US that sells the Revell Contacta Professional. The glue that has that nice little needle on it?

I am building a 1966 VW bug. I remember when I was build an aircraft the the glue I was using fogged the clear plastic of the canopy up after it dried. What glue(s) work well with clear plastic for the windows? I have tamiya exra thin cement and maxi-cure.

I have been using Tamiya paints mainly because that is what my local hobby store carries and I just haven't liked testor's. I prefer acrylics for cleanup mostly and thinner range. My questions are: What do people use for getting the paint into airbrush? I have used a tooth pick, and those...

1. can you dry brush acrylics without a retardant? 2. Creating streaks with acrylics? 3. Store that sells squeeze bottle and little cups in the NW'ern US? 4. Do ground up pastels work like pigments for mud effects? As in do they soak in? So far I have only mixed them into a paste along with a...

I was browsing through some other sites and stumbled across a guy the used vaseline to get a chipping effect. It was a 3 year old post and he didn't give a hint of how he did it. I am curious as to if anyone has heard of this method and how it can be achieved. I'm thinking that he just rubbed...

I just bought some Pledge Future floor wax and I am wondering if it needs to be thinned at all. I have been using a aerosol Testor's can of sealer so far but Keisor recommended Future as a good substitute for on the cheap. I have a Paasche VL1007 double action airbrush that I will be applying...

Hey guys, I've been building models for awhile and want to take a crack at weathering. Nothing to complicated if possible, maybe some beginner technique's and then what a good way to progress from that. If someone could list out the steps in which they do perform each technique would be really...
