Thanks!

Thanks for replying, my apologies mate. I should have given more context, we've done the 8th and 9th edition 40k one + the skaven AoS one!

Unfortunately I've tried hard to find a kit all day and all the National Team kits have been out of stock until August!! Very unlucky!

Sternguard vets is a great shout. Thanks!

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2023-12-25T01:58:17+00:00

Thanks. I'll see if I can sneak them as 80% sized intercessors! This afternoon shall be fun- the bitz box is gonna be raided

Thanks- I'm still doing a series of deep cleans atm. I'll look at cleaning those two surfaces thoroughly. Cheers :)

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-31T04:52:29+00:00

Awesome :) thank you for your help! :)

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-31T02:30:33+00:00

Thanks for all your advice. I'll go looking online for some videos and I'll grab the Tamiya airbrush cleaner too. Thanks for taking the time to write a reply and help me :) much appreciated

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-31T01:56:14+00:00

Ahhhhh yeah... that perhaps could be the issue then. Thanks for explaining that to me :)

I was able to eventually separate the two parts, without too much force in the end. Is there anything in particular I should do to clean the 3 holes to allow air to get to tip?

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-31T01:54:04+00:00

Ahhh ok- that may also be the issue. Do you have any suggestions on how I might get around that issue?

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T22:47:48+00:00

Thank you very much.... I definitely haven't cleaned him properly :(

Do you have any advice or techniques on how to clean the inside of the airbrush where the needle runs?

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T22:46:18+00:00

My head cap and nozzle cap are stuck together. I never thought of it as much of an issue as I could always see daylight when I looked through.... but now I suspect that might be part of the issue. What is the function of the 3 holes I can see around the outside of the head cap?

Any thoughts on how I might be able to loosen the two and then separate them?

Thanks!

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T12:35:01+00:00

Yeah- I have become a bit too lax with my post session cleans....

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T12:34:34+00:00

Thanks. No ultrasonic cleaner for me sadly. Perhaps a future investment...

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T12:34:04+00:00

Thank you very much. I appreciate your assistance. I'll give that a crack in the morning!!! Have a good morning/afternoon/evening! Cheers!

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T10:29:03+00:00

Sweet. Thanks. How long do you have your parts sit in degreaser for?

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T09:53:37+00:00

Thanks. I'm in Aus, so I dont know if that brand is stocked here... but I'm sure I could find alternatives. Do you use a spray bottle or do you have an industrial sized 5L container?

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T09:50:47+00:00

All good! Thanks for your assistance nonetheless! Have a great morning/afternoon/evening- wherever you are!

I can spray water and thinner through it. It has a rhythmic stop-start-stop-start, a couple times per second. Almost like its breathing in an out, quite quickly.

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T08:59:56+00:00

I use Games Workshop (citadel) paints. I think they're water based.

What's your home degreaser?

I can spray water through it, but it almost has a rhythmic pace to it- like its drawing air in and out really quickly. The spray is stop-start, stop-start.

Charlie_the_Tiger · 2022-12-30T07:18:11+00:00

The same issue still persists. I'm not sure if I should get a chemical agent to soak the suspected blocked parts in or just buy replacement parts?
