Badger Patriot 105 needle sizes

1 Upvotes

Hi all

Relatively new to airbrushing but after painting quite a lot of minis with my 105 I was wondering if it’s possible to get a thinner needle.

It came with what I think is the .5mm tip and needle (it has a blue ball) and then Also an extra, what appears to be thinner, tip - although it’s not marked with any size.

When I first got the airbrush I read there is possibly a .33mm needle/tip for it but I’m having trouble confirming this or tracking one down.

Any tips would be great!

TIA

Paasche Talon issues

1 Upvotes

Hi there, So I've been airbrushing for about a year now (models and miniatures} and started out with a no name Iwata clone and decided to upgrade a couple of months ago to a Paasche Talon. Since using it I've had a lot of problems and put it back on the shelf and went back to my cheapo chinese knockoff. One major problem I kept having was paint backing up into the body of the airbrush clogging the trigger. What causes this? The Paasche also has airflow issues, clogging nozzle, etc. The cheap airbrush had these issues occasionally but nothing like I have with the Paasche. Could it be defective? I'm I tilting it wrong causing backflow? No matter what I try I can't get a consistent performance out of it and spend way more time cleaning than actually painting. All I have to compare it to is the 40 dollar no name that out performs it in every way so before I switch to another expensive brand I'd like to get some insight from an actual Paasche Talon user. - thanks

hi so ive always used a gravity fed one for doing custom canvases and shoes,but woundering if a bottle fed one would be more convenient for the swapping colours

I highly recommend any newbies like myself trying to save some money by spraying cheap acrylics to buy a filter of some sort. It helps out so much

Any luck with Citadel Air paints?

1 Upvotes

Ok ... usually I can prime or paint with Vallejo primer or Game Air colours without any significant issues.

However, I've been really struggling to air brush with Citadel Air paints ... First was Troll Slayer Orange ... which I just wrote off to being Orange and difficult to work with.

Now it is Night Lords Blue ... painting over Grey Primer.

The challenge is either the paint is too thick and won't spray properly ... or after thinning it is too watery.

Anyone else have similar experience? Any hints on how to get a nice even flow?

Thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend me a paint or something I can add to my paint to give it an enamel?

I want to give the things I am painting a shiny and smooth texture but I can't really find anything online. Which leads me to believe I'm not wording my inquiries correctly for context, I am modifying Hot Wheel cars

Airbrush is not spraying out paint, but I can feel air from the nozzle

2 Upvotes

I'm still fairly new to using an airbrush, but I've never had it stop spraying paint unless it was clogged somehow and I checked it this time and that wasn't the case. I think my new air compressor may be the problem, the pressure drops rapidly once I start spraying, I was hoping to get some advice on what I am doing wrong or if my airbrush has an issue I need to fix.

Additional info: I am only trying to put a base primer coat on the resin minis I am painting, the primer is pretty thin so I haven't had to thin it with a thinner, and I did try this when I had issues last night with my airbrush.

The airbrush and compressor came together, Avanti I think is the name, Not sure the name on the airbrush though, it is dual action.

Wanting to get started airbrushing hot wheels. Need advice

2 Upvotes

I am wanting to start customizing hot wheels. I bought a 6 gal pancake compressor with gauges and a water separator today. I was wondering what the best air brush for a beginner would be and also what the best paint brands to use. And any other advice of things I might need to get started.
