Your welcome mate. Sorry I did not go into detail - it really is a big question. Let us know if you have a problem finding the videos and I will be glad to get the links for you. I would have to find them myself otherwise I would have posted them up already.
Cheers
Jim
That is one huge question mate. You need to sand at many different times with many different types and grits of paper and sticks. I would suggest you have a look at the many modelling tutorial videos. There is a stack from the members here. You will see them sand at many different times for many...
I wanted to add that I got my regulator today, Model 50-054. Man what a difference. It is the badger one with the water trap. Thanks again for the tip on getting one of these. This has made the compressor work the way I expected it to without blowing the model out the window with the pressure...
And I wonder how many of us don't even read the safety labels regardless. ;D Oh well! Health and safety and all that. Thank you very much for the link to the Sprue Brothers. I will be checking them out as well.
Appreciate all the input here troops.
Cheers

I seem to be spending my time thanking you all - so here we go again. Thanks for all the information and ideas on an alternative paint. I was looking at the Vellejo paint before so might be an option. I will try lucky model as well. I figured out that if I order 26 bottles the shipping is around...
Hi Team.
I hope this is in the correct forum. Does anyone have a good supplier for the Tamiya Flat Black Paint please? I have checked on line and my local hobby stores and this paint - as well as certain other colours seem to be almost impossible to get hold of. Eveywhere I have checked today is...
Thanks for the additional tips guys. I ordered the Badger regulator/filter last night so I should be set. Also ordered 2 extra sets of fine needles, tips and the regulator caps for my airbrush. That way the wife only see's one package coming through the mail. ;D I probably should have loaded up...
Well, I thought I was going to do a video and show you what was happening. So I loaded up my airbrush, got the camera ready and..... the problem has gone. I was expecting to get a nice video of the paint pulsing in a regular fashion out the airbrush but it did not happen. What I got was a smooth...
Excellent tips and videos mate. I have never used metalizers but if this is what you can expect from them then I can see me using them in the future.

Hi Sunsanvil and thanks.
It is the latter. The paint spray stops and strarts while holding down the trigger continually. I tried looking for a handbook for the compressor on line but could not find one. I have no idea where the pressure switch would be. Something else for me to check out though...
Thanks for the reply. No it does not have a regulator.
I was checking them out and seems like a cost effective purchase if it will get rid of the pulsing. Shame they didn't provide one with the compressor. Oh well - no worries.
Appreciate your help on this one. I was beginning to think it was...
Hi Team
I did a search so don't think this has been answered here. I have a Badger Crescendo 175T airbrush and a Badger Cyclone II 180-11 Compressor. Both of these are about 5 years old - maybe 4. Used about 4 times total. Both are like new. Anyhoo I am getting back into plastic modelling so...
Thanks troops for the warm welcome. Looking forward to learning a lot from you guys and girls. Hope one day to be able to return the favour. :)
All the very best to you all.
Cheers
Jim
A wee bit late but congratulations all the same Whiskee - both on finding a fine bride and a potential modeller as well. My ex - sorry to bring this up. ;D But my ex always used to tell me that if I was at home I was not out in the bars drinking and getting up to mischief.
I also noticed your...
