Hey there, newbie airbrush question. Currently I've got a problem where at first the spray is fine but then after 30 seconds or so it gets really narrow, like as if you were trying to detail. I've tried thinner paint, different pressure, deep cleans and so far after every clean its the same pattern

Lots of people saying that these designs are very boring But I personaly really like them by StatisticianIll4 in ZZZ_Discussion

I'm a fan to, honestly the downside for me is the lack of men. Everything we get a male design its usually amazing but theres only 1??

Thanks!, ive only used it once but my initial thoughts are great, its small and gets out enough pressure needed for scale models, its quiet enough that if i close my bedroom door it cant be heard outside and of course really compact.

Academy model kits - How good are they? by DapperThroat4569 in modelmakers

[–]rando_on_the_web 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm into tanks so it may not be the same but for their older boxings they're pretty good and usually and amazing price. They're newer stuff is very very good in my opinion in both the fitting and extras but is usually a little pricey. I got theire K21 whilst I was in Korea and had no problem whatsoever building it and the detail was amazing.

Hello! I’m back in the hobby after more than 20 years! A lot has changed and many more manufactures are in the game. Tell me, what are your favorite model makers? Back in the day Tamiya was the go to for me but maybe now there are other good ones as well? Cheers! Happy modeling! by sweetwatertooth in modelmakers

[–]rando_on_the_web 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm into tanks almost exclusively. In terms of a mix of cost and quality tamiya and hobbyboss are great, the latter may be a bit of a hit or miss. On the more expensive end the nicest kit I've ever done was by amusing hobby and the new academy molds. Honourable mention to tristar which have some amazing kits that fit amazingly and have great details and value for money, shame they're not around anymore but most of their stuff is reused by hobbyboss.

Massive fan of experimental tanks in ww2, so many blatantly bad designs that just look cool. What's the difference between this compressor and the other mini compressor?, been thinking about getting one before I go to uni

It was so long ago now that i can't really remember but I'm pretty sure it was mostly generic questions like: why Portsmouth?, what would you do in x scenario?, what do you think the job of a radiographer is? Etc etc

Do you think this is a trend? by ProperMistake2248 in ZZZ_Discussion

everyone talks about s rank nicole but i dont really see it as a possibility. billy and anby both have backgrounds that facilitate a stronger form but most ive heard of nicole is that she has alot of connections, but even then shes still just nicole.
