My First Model

So, I am just about done with my first model. I used the airbrush to basecoat the white on the model. I still had to go back over it due to my lacking airbrush skills, so it probably took me longer than it needed to, but I think it turned out pretty good. One thing I learned with this model is: white is difficult to work with and do correctly and I haven't gotten my airbrush dialed in yet, with pressure and paint consistency, but it is getting there.

I used P3 Greatcoat Grey for the base, then used Citadel Space Wolves Grey and white to bring it up. I think next time, I might use Space Wolves Grey as the base which will give me more room for shadowing.  More to come...

My new stuff

Here is my new airbrush setup... 

Master TC-40T compressor. It is very quiet running about 47db. And it has a cooling fan. Nice to have here in sunny AZ.

And the Badger Krome airbrush. 

I this will be a good all around airbrush due to the two needles included. Going to start off with the larger .33 needle then move to the .21 as my skills improve. I may also pick up a cheaper option for larger jobs, but for now this will do nicely.

So it begins

This is my first ever blog. I am going to try to use this to motivate me to keep up on painting my models for Corvus Belli's Infinity. I will likely post other things I am working on, too; RC Car builds/mods and body painting, maybe some epic board games, who knows. But for the most part it will be used as a painting log for myself.

I just purchased an airbrush setup and will be learning some basics with that. It should be arriving today so I will post some pictures of my setup when it gets here.

I am really hoping that this keeps me up to date on my work. I guess we will see...
