Well just be happy with how they look when you've finished them that's all that matters. Quote: Posted by Rook on Today at 12:45am I feel so stupid to ask this but is that *leather* around the Heavy Bolter? To be honest I never realized that is leather. Please tell me it's leather. Totally awesome stuff by the way. As always. It can be whatever material you want it to be. I've always imagined it as either Leather or some sort of heavy Canvas And thank you. Quote: Posted by Ymmot on Today at 12:58am I've always thought of it as a leather or rubbery bit of cowling around the hull mounts on chimera type vehicles. Exactly.

I only Airbrush when I feel like it, I'm still having teething problems so I'm still very much just experimenting. Once I get everything sorted then I will probably do all of my tanks with the Airbrush, why?

I know we talked about them a while back, I think with you and Trooper. I really enjoy doing everything by hand though. So I am kind of torn on the decision.

They're not the easiest of things to use, and it will take a lot of practice to get everything right. I have finally dialled down the right pressure to spray properly, I'm now just having cleaning problems and the brush clogging. My Chimera was completely hand painted, and it's come out the same as the Basilisk which was Airbrushed. So for basic stuff you really don't have to have an Airbrush. However, they are good tools to have ready for when you want to try some more professional stuff as they're so versatile.

They can be really useful for base coating large models, or if you are painting an entire squadron (or company) of vehicles at once. It does take some fiddling to find the proper dilution when working with GW paints, but they can also be a time saver for base coating mass infantry. *Needs to get his airbrush set up and running again* Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged My picture thread.

Any recommendation on which is the best? And Cosmic, your Chimera is beautiful. Thank you Zeke. I do believe a few of us on here have the same set-up, which is this one here... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Airbrush-AS186-C....2838869&sr=8 -3 For £85, 2 Airbrushes and a Compressor is just fantastic. It's absolutely perfect to start practicing with, the Airbrushes are good quality and the compressor is fairly quiet. I would start with this, and then when you're more confident just buy yourself a better Airbrush, Iwata or Badger something like that.
