I’m still trying to figure out my airbrush. I had been doing pretty good but then I got this.





I was using model master acrylics when I did it.

Any idea what happened and how to keep from doing it again?


Thanks

Most probably you diluted your paint too much or you sprayed too long on the same area.

Yup, I have to agree with Olivier. It looks like your paint mixture is too thin.

I think it is a factor of two things. The first as Jacob said the paint was slightly too thin and second you held the AB too long in one spot.

When AB'ing finish your 'sweep' off the model not at the end of it or you will have this occuring espeacally at the ends.

Jacob,

Dont try to paint your model in one pass. Apply one light coat, then when its dry do another light coat. Too much paint at one time will give you the problem you are having right now and will also "flood" the details.

Is your model primed? Thats a must.

Thanks guys.
I think the paint was thinned about right but I put to much down like you guys said.
Everything else I sprayed was smaller and got a good solid paint job after the 1st coat.

I’ll try to remove the paint off it and try it again with a few coats.
