Hi folks, I originally posted this in another thread but was advised to do my own and provide more details so here goes!
This was my original post
Hi guys, first off I am a complete newcomer to airbrushing. I have got myself a Patriot 105 after reading up a lot of reviews and taking a shine to Badger. However I have only had my brush about a month and in that time only used it a maximum of a few hours. I have noticed a few issues with it. Air leakage on the screw above my quick release, more air leakage from the cone (first screw part on the tip) and last the finish has already worn off the inside of the cup and the trench at the bottom of the cup is brassy coloured. Any advice guys. All I can add is I give the brush a good clean between colour changes using airbrush cleaner. Thanks in advance
I should have mentioned that I use Vallejo Game Air & Badger Minitaire airbrush ready paints. I live in the UK and buy the bulk of my airbrush equipment from Barwell Bodyworks & S&M Stuff through mail order. As for my cleaner I use Medea. After watching a video documentary with Badger CEO Ken Schlotfeldt he advised never to use the little 'pipe cleaner' brushes so I have reframed as I admit I did buy a set when starting out. I think thats all the info I have but if any more is required please ask.
Oh yea I should also maybe add why I use the airbrush - I collect and paint sci-fi miniatures and scale models for use in the Warhammer 40,000 game I also enjoy making little dioramas and terrain.
Thanks for reading
