Thanks will try turning down the psi even lower. I did try around 17 and it still wasnt great. I think the paint can be a culprit also. I got the hang of painting surfaces though. My only enemy now is dust/cat hair finding the newly painted areas. :p The trick is many really thin layers with...

I think I found some info in youtube comments and I think it's the paint itself thats the problem when trying to do small and thin stuff. The paint is 100% water based I think and it seems its hard to do the small stuff, on the other hand it's a bit "safer" to use. Will try to get some other...

Yea I've been masking a lot but when people preshade and fill in the panel lines they go freehand. I've just been practicing on a piece of paper to make different lines and try get familiar with the airbrush. One guide showed making small to big dots, when I do a small dot it just smears all...

Been trying to improve my airbrush control but fine lines just does not work out. Sometimes they are fine and sometimes they just splash and push the paint away. I'm running at 17-20PSI with the Ammo paints. I guess one should also regulate the pressure with the trigger as well and not just...

What paints do all you use for brush/airbrushing? I have only tried the ammo paints due to them being ready to go from the bottle without thinning. They need to be applied in really thin and many layers though and I find myself rushing it so they tend to pool on some places. Thinking of...

Got the Spear just now and decided to try it out. It feels kinda OP compared to the other weapons I used.

My first project done. I started brush painting the hull and the missiles are Airbrushed. I was pretty happy with the paint but the clear coat I used failed horribly. I used Ammo of MIG Lucky Varnish. Supposed to do light coats with the airbrush and wait 5 minutes. But at around application nr...

About to sail to England and almost collected everything in Norway, the Elk owned me though so will try later. Is it a waste to upgrade the Raven Armor you start with? Guess hanging on to ingots until later is a safer bet? I like the game a lot, but the combat is a bit wonky at times. I have...

Wierd dbl post

Brush painted the Jas Gripen airplane and decided to try out my Airbrush skills on the missiles and fueltank. They should be White so I loaded my new Matt White to try it out. White just wont go on like other paints. Coats get so thin you hardly see and it pooled up really easy and almost...

Haven't watched any reviews but wondering which is the gaming cpu among the 5000x series? Saw 5600x mentioned earlier.

Whats the word on the new AMD processors? Will they go the way of Nvidia with zero stock and scalping? In no hurry to buy one though.

Tried the 0.2mm needle today (came with 0.2 and 0.4) and it really needs thinner paints. Might be good for small stuff though but will change back to the 0.4mm for the models. I know it's a practice thing but thin lines are really hard to make for me. Either too little paint or a big splat...

Played for 2 hours on Ultra and it sits at 60+ frames and sometimes 75+. Leagues better than WD Legion performance. I like it but not very far in as of yet.

Loaded the game up just now on lunch break and ran the benchmark. The FPS graph dipped to 1fps every now and then which caused a freeze stutter thing. Downloaded new drivers but cant test any further right now. Disapointing if its that bad when I get home. :(

I got blue screen the first time I started WD Legion also in my first Ubisoft launcher install. Only happened once though.

Yea I think I they can take a little bit of thinner even if they are quite runny from the flask. I had some issues with the tip drying as well with the other colors. Is flow improver something different than acryllic thinner?

I ordered a matt white as well and will see if it behaves differently, the semi gloss white was really wierd. Could hardly make it work with brush. But yea it took many coats to get it white before it all clogged up.

Many thanks. The tip was clean so I guess I need to get in the habit to stop with air like you said. Was just curious if I messed something up when I cleaned it. They are really tiny drops, and not many.

Got the Airbrush and fired it up today. Went pretty well at the start. Tried some blue colors then some yellow and it went fine. Got some spidering so dropped the PSI some. I'm using Ammo of Mig colors that should be ready go without thinning. Cleaned the Airbrush reall well and decided to load...

How long do you usally wait for the clear coats to cure before doing work on them?

Do you use enamel washes for figure painting, I tried some on the first tiny model I brush painted and the enamel wash ate through the acryllic colors and removed them when I tried cleaning it off. I had no primer or clear coat though on it so maybe that is what messed it up, I see most use a...

Thought this was coming the 16th for some reason. But glad I got the AMD rewards mail today on how to claim the game for preload tomorrow. Edit: Great success, AMD rewards does not work so can't get my key. Sad times.

Started the F-14 because the Jas 39 Gripen is at the clear coat stage and I think I will do that with the airbrush. Assembled the F-14 in preparation for painting and wtf is with Freedom aircrafts, they are freaking huge. Both planes 1/48 scale. :p

Extended the computer desk to have a work space and started building the Jas 39 Gripen before I tackle the F-14. Mostly just painted the cockpit and glued together the aircraft. Hopefully the airbrush arrives monday so I can start practicing with that. I don't see me brush painting large...

Got them 2016 so a bit over 4 years. The batteri time was never great though.

Might have been for the best that I did not score the 5900x, seems thats really not worth it for just gaming? Will keep an eye out for the 5600x I guess, any news on future stock?

Built together a set of airbrush stuff and compressor and it will probably arrive monday. I did not have much choice in Airbrush brand because everything is out of stock, settled ona Harder and Steenbeck Ultra 2 in 1 (0.2 and 0.4mm needle) for around $110. Might have been the impulse buy of the...

Yea for a beginner it's probably a good price. Was looking at a compressor with a tank earlier and thats 100-200 dollars more and Airbrushes really go from 70 to 500 bucks. That package with a spraybooth should be around 500 bucks. Seeing as the AMD 5900x went out of stock forever I might as...

I checked the Airbrush on google and it has a cup on top. https://www.sparmaxair.com/airbrush-0-3-1/sp-35-series

Thanks! Will check and see if anyone carries those. Kinda slim pickings on the stuff in stock atm. I did find this in stock however, no idea how they perform though. Compressor Sparmax Aism AC-66HX, Airbrush Sparmax SP-35, hose, cleaning pot and Silver Bullet. The package sits around 300...

Only cpu available still around here is the 5600x, the higher ones went out of stock faster than the 3080s.

Ahh I somehow got the idea that one with no tank gave bad pressure. Might have misunderstood and mixed them up. Kinda limited supply over here but will continue to look. Any brand/model airbrush thats recommended? Edit: The ones with no tank had "pulsing" issue, might have been what I mixed up...

Looking through airbrush kits and compressors on a few sites. Not much in stock but want to get an idea what to aim for. What are the things I should look for in Airbrushes and the compressors? All the numbers mean nothing to me when I check the info. :p I guess a compressor with a tank is a...

All sites crashed here, got one5900x through the payment but not sure if it will ship. Edit: Nope failed the order. Did not really "need" it but wanted it. 3700x will do until they get stock avaiable in the future.

Thanks yea thats the one I stumbled on earlier this week on YouTube. Good to hear there's little overspray but was also worried about particles not filtering 100% from the paint box fans. But leading the hose to another box might do the trick. Do you know how loud it is when using?

Thanks for the tip. I won't be able to crack a window open during the winter but might work to have it collect into a box instead. I'll start with brushes though and look around whats available around here. If anyone has more tips for the paint box please share. Saw someone connect the box to a...

I almost want to go all in and get an airbrush but I don't have a good way to have an exhaust for the dust/fumes. And the only room I can use for this is by the computer so don't hwant to mess it up with paint everywhere. I saw there's some portable ventilation boxes but they sounded loud and...

While this might not really fit 100% into this thread I'll post it anyways, could not find another suited for it. Needed a hobby besides gaming on the PC so I started buying paints and brushes to start building and painting scale models. But seeing this thread I might try out some figures also...

I'll try the hitman, never even used him yet. I see the problem with the performance though, my GPU only sits at 60-70% load. If I fire up Shadows of the Tomb Raider it goes up to 98-99%. Badly optimized? Not sure but it seems it uses more CPU and less GPU than it should. How do you give the...
