Hello,
My real firstname is Guillaume and I am from France.
I am quite a newbye at airbrushing. I am more of a model hobbyist, and I paint mostly 28mm scale wargame and tabletop RPG miniatures. I mainly paint miniatures with brushes and oil paints.
But I also do some airbrushing. As getting details at this scale is quite difficult I mainly airbrush basecoats (with Humbrol enamel paints) and I paint over with oil paints. I also get my best metal rendering by airbrushing Alclad lacquers.
And some times ago, I have felt brave enough to make light effects with airbrush directly on 28mm scale miniatures with standard hobby acrylics (Citadel / Privateer Press / Prince August Air) or airbrush dedicated acrylics (Hansa).
I still love oil painting, but I am getting incresingly fed up with hobby acrylics and their very limited durability (you can scratch them with your nail).
So I first seeked information over the web to see if automotive paints could be used for modeling. As I read many airbrushing forums, I became more and more interested in airbrushing bigger objects. I think I will start modestly with cheap roller skate helmets.
So I decided to register to this forum to seek advice and here I am.
After this introduction, my first post will be in the airbrush paints forum.
Thanks in advance to those who will help me.
