Ok so I started airbrushing today. Just the base coat of 147 and the results were…mixed.


I think I need a lot more practice. First there was hardly any paint coming out and I had to get really close to see any coverage. So I figured the paint was too thick and thinned it some more which was better. I’m still not sure the coverage is right though, I had the airbrush about 10cm away but it felt more like I was ‘colouring in’ rather than making sweeping passes like you would with a rattle can. Is that normal? From then on it was ok…I guess? I’m not really sure what I’m looking for, it’s hard to tell from other peoples photos. For the base coat should I be going for like a full total coverage with multiple coats or is it ok to be slightly patchy like the base of the dome here?
