Do you think it's worth getting an airbrush just for painting epic models? And do you think I should you look to get a different sort to one standardly recommended for painting larger 28mm scale models, one that is particularly good for doing smaller/fainter sprays?
I'm considering getting one after seeing your models here and the very well painted winter-camo-ed epic aircraft in the FW: Model Masterclass book and the amount of other uses one gets in there.
Thanks for your comment GlynG.
Yes, I think buying a double action airbrush for only painting 6mm is worth if you have a lot of minis to paint. I only paint 6mm minis and I have about 100000 points to be painted. As you say, an airbrush is really efficient for painting camo but you can also place the first colors really fast after priming the minis. On the assault comp, I painted legs and upper body (front & back) with my airbrush. I used a simple paper as a stencil to prevent errors. This is faster than placing first colors with brushes that may be long on a black primer coat. On fliers, vehicles, it's easy to create a nice camo scheme:
- base coat your vehicle in black (for exemple)
- (place a pre highlight with your airbrush)
- airbrush with main color ( less than 1 minute per vehicle)
- change your color (~2-10 minutes depending if you completely clean your airbrush or not)
- place the first camo coat (less than 1 minute per vehicle)
- repeat with others camo colors
In less than 1 hour (upon your accuracy with the airbrush, may be 2 or 3 hours), you should have mostly painted a leman russ company. Paint details, add dark wash into recesses, place few highlight and it's done.
