Tools of the Trade - Working with Vallejos Polyurethane Primer

Hey guys,

after reading on DakkaDakka, that some of you have had some problems with Vallejos Polyurethane Surface Primer, I wanted to share my experiences with the product.

 

For this, I wanted to talk about the Primer itself, how to use it and most important, how to clean your airbrush afterwards.

From Zero to Hero: Thunderhead - Cygnar Character Warjack

Hey guys,

since I had a bit time this weekend, I thought I could do a tutorial on painting the Thunderhead Cygnar Heavy Warjack. I had this one built for quite a while now. The article on how I assembled the model can be found here.

Christmas came early: My new compressor - The Euro-Tec 60A

Hey all!

After using my first compressor for a while now, I decided it would be time to upgrade, as the old one got a bit long in the tooth. I checked around and found a fantastic airbrush retailer, Air-Craft.net, which had top of the line products and sold them for much less than they were here in Germany. The customer service should be mentioned too, as it was top-notch, and all my questions where answered in a quick and friendly manner. Full marks across the board!

As my new compressor, I chose the Euro-Tec 60A from Harder & Steenbeck.

It's a beast!
