Took it for a small test drive tonight, it's going to take for me to feel really comfortable with it but already I was able to get a nice even coat of white paint on one of my space marine bikes. I was going to take picture but with my camera you really can't tell the difference.
I'd like to be able to say something about the airbrush set, but since it's my first one, this thing could be utter shit and I wouldn't know. I can comment on how much the directions suck. It's a small paragraph of how to assemble it all without any pictures. Eventually I was able to get it working, but I would say it took a good 15 - 20 mins to get it all working properly.
I've done quiet a bit of reading on airbrushing and the first rule of airbrushing is to thin your paints. I hadn't realized by how much till tonight. So here's the official Sigmar's Workbench guide to thinning your paints.
1. Do I think it's thin enough? If no add water. If yes, you're wrong add more water.
2. Now that I've added more water, do I think it's thin enough? If no add water. If yes, WRONG AGAIN! Add water and try again.
3. Ok now I'm pretty sure I've ruined it with all this water. I'm such a dumbass. Now it's perfect!
On a non-airbrush related matter, I'm a step or 3 closer to having finished the Close Combat Scout Squad. I think I've slopped about all the paint on it I can, now it's time to start adding in more detail and making sure to color inside the lines.
