Just saying hello! I have been a hobby airbrush artist for 20-something years, but still very much a youngling and always willing to learn.
I have typically done wildlife art with airbrush.
Recently into more of the cosplay side as I am part of the 501st (hubby convinced me to join about 8 months ago).

So I am wanting to be educated about painting and dealing with ABS etc.

Anyhow, great site! glad I found it.
 
Welcome from Australia.
There's lots of laughs and learning to be had around here, i look forward to seeing some of your work.

Hello and welcome to the forum from Canada:)
501st...AKA "Vader's Fist" :) Nice...
Looking forward to seeing some pics of the helmets :)
 
Here is my latest one! I used Tamiya paints on this and it is mostly airbrushed, then hand brushed with aluminum accents so it looks beat up

Is this one ABS?, Is it from a kit or do you mold it yourself?
Ever tried converting a 3d paper build?
 
I bought a fiberglass blank.. here's the photo of it after I cut out where the lenses go (forgot to take a picture prior to touching it)

Oh ,thats cool! I've never got to work from a blank or kit. Just either had to sculpt and mould and use whatever junk i could find to come up with a prop or use pepakura to do a paper build then fiberglass over it. Which is really just a pain in the butt.
From that piece under the bottom left I have a hunch the original prop designer used a carburetor and some Coax fittings to make that haha!
Possibly some parts from the old dirtbike forks for that protruding piece on the upper left.
