Asking for airbrush advice is a fairly common topic on miniature forums. With good reason, getting one is pretty daunting and there aren’t many clear cut answers (such is art I guess). Sony sound forge pro latest version with crack free download zip file.

That’s because just getting an airbrush isn’t enough. What else do you need to make it work? How do you make it work? It can be a fairly expensive venture, so you want to keep trial and error to a minimum. Welp, you’re in luck because I’m one to dive into things, so I’ll share with you all my trial and error and all I’ve learned in my 2ish years of using an airbrush! Here’s comes the quick and dirty guide!

DISCLAIMER: While I do try to give more clear cut answers, these are still my recommendations ONLY. I’ve geared this guide towards people that want more concrete answers. I do give information as to why I choose each. There are many great guides available online that contain more in-depth information on each subject if you want to learn more. Where to start? Okay so you want an airbrush.

Step one done. Let’s just go over to Amazon and pick one uwaitsingle or dual action? What needle size do I need?! Let me try my best to break it down with out getting too much “into the weeds”.

I’m going to gear this towards what I’ve found works best for me and what I think will work best for most people. Feeds Let’s start with feeds: you have Gravity, Siphon, and Side feeds. Basically what this is, is how the paint feeds into the airbrush. Gravity usesughgravity. The paint cup is at the top of the airbrush and the paint flows down into it.

Siphon uses air pressure to feed the paint into the brush and is a canister below the airbrush. Side feed operates a bit like gravity but allows you to swivel the cup when you spray upside down or at an odd angle something. What do I choose? Go with a Gravity Feed. To paint miniatures with an airbrush you don’t need the extreme capacity of most Siphon Feeds. Firmware note 2 n7100 indonesia.

Also this will come in handy later when we talk about compressors (gravity giving you some built in air pressure). Side feed would be a close second, but gravity feed airbrushes tend to be easier to find. Triggers Next is dual action vs single action triggers.

This is easy. With single action triggers, when you press down, air AND paint come out. With dual action, you press down: only air comes out.

You pull back: paint now starts to come out. What do I choose?

It simply gives you more control over your paint. Needle Size Needles come in all sizes.

What they factor into is how fine your airbrush sprays. The smaller the needle, the finer the spray (but also the thinner you need to thin your paints).

For miniatures, you want to look in the.2.5 range. A.5 needle is better for larger items, like vehicles, while a.2 needle is much better for fine details. You’ll typically use one in a middle range however.

Various Airbrush needles What do I choose? In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with a ~.3 needle for miniatures.

It’s the most versatile for what we typically paint. Brands I unfortunately can’t speak too much about which brand is better.

The ones I trust (in no particular order) from my information gathering is Iwata, Badger, Harder and Steinbeck, or Paasche. I can honestly say that I have been happy with both my Badger Krome and Iwata Revolution however. What other features should I look for? An example of a needle stop of my Badger Krome. A common feature you’ll see on airbrushes are needle stops. I personally like these, as they are precision tools.

You can dial in a stop and you won’t be able to pull the trigger past that point, thus allowing you to get a consistent line, even if you switch colors. An example of a pistol grip airbrush. Another is pistol grips. Personally, I’m not a fan, but then again, my experience is limited to convention demos.

Some people, like Meg Maples, love them. This one is all a matter of comfort. On a typical airbrush, you push the trigger down to start airflow, then pull back to spray paint. Your hand will be arranged like so: Some people find it uncomfortable. I feel like I have more control over paintflow. With a pistol grip airbrush, you pull the trigger a little to start the air, then pull back more depending on the amount of paint you want to flow. Your hand is positioned like it’d be if you were holding a gun.
