Ola fellow modelers:)
I recently bought me an airbrush, Iwata HP-CP to be precise (on ebay from Ophelia_shop and once again I will say this: she kicks ass:) and offers great airbrushes for 50% of their original prices) and was looking for some preshading/shading tutorials. Not only that but basically any airbrush tutorials will do, anything which can be useful to a total airbrush begginer like me.
I have some basic airbrush usage tutorials, but it's all shown on a piece of paper and it would be better to actually see some models painted.
I've seen a link posted here some time ago with airbrushing video tutorials, but I can't find it now:( if someone has it bookmarked it would be awesome if you could post it here:)
So open up your bookmark folder and gimmy anything you've got:)
A hug thanks in advance to anyone who replies,
Cheers,
dsc.

This is sweet!!:) exactly what I was looking for:) Thanks a lot mate!
I was thinking about using preshading on my tower to add some depth to the space between the rocks. Do you think that would be a good idea? Or would it be easier to actually use a black ink on the whole gray basecoated tower and than use the gray again to blend the darker places into the surroundings?
One more thing, is it possible to highlight with an airbrush? I mean sort of like in drybrushing? to again add depth to the stones? I guess I would need just a light mist of some lighter gray over the top of the stones to highlight it. Is there anyway to achieve something like this?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
