Had only intended to open the shipping boxes when this arrived, but the contents weren't wrapped, so....
Apparently, my Secret Santa wants me to step up my game.
When I opened the boxes this evening, I was wowed by what was in them.
Airbrush compressor:


Airbrush and hoses:
(Along with some other bits to use with the brush)


And, of course, some models to use them on


John,
Thank you VERY MUCH for all of this.
Your generosity with this blew me away.

Nice Quaralane, thats legit ha ha. Will be watching for the build of the fighter jet. If memory serves me correctly you mentioned a week or so ago that you were looking to purchase a new compressor. Awesome gifts Bro.

 

[ModelMakerMike]

Well Q, mighty big score there! Congratulations!!!!!!
What about your poor Graphite Dust? Will it get jealous?

Quaralan: Glad you like the compressor. I know you will put it to good use.......

And for your graphite dust, Dr. Cranky has a good video on how to decant paint....

CLINIC: "Decanting" PAINT

 

[Dusky]

If you do decant the stuff, spray it on a bit heavier to get a nice gloss finish. Otherwise it may appear flat.

If you spray it on heavier it will run everywhere ! Decanted rattlecan paint is thinner than you would normally mix ,Best just put a gloss clear on after

Anyhoo ....Santa passed by my house today ;D ;D



Dont know what it is yet ,But thank you very much ;D

Chris.

Depends on the paint really. Any of the Testors Lacquer spray cans need a gloss coat over them whether you decant them or if you just shoot them straight from the can.

 

[Junkie]

Nice paper. Cool.

 

[Chris S]

I'll save it for you Scott ;D ;D

 

[Dusky]

I use decanted Tamiya lacquer. The tip was given to me buy a guy who paints classic cars for a living and not the plastic kind.

Been a spray painter for over 20 yrs myself (not the plastic kind) but still wouldnt advise anyone to put paint on heavier ....Heavier = more problems Light even coats is the only way to go when spray painting

I don't mean heavy, just slightly heavier than a light mist coat. You know what I mean.
