Yea, I can show you how if you like, but its a great way to get comfy with your air brush.

That is really cool. Makes me wish I had an airbrush, if nothing else than for priming/base coating. Unfortunately, I dont have anywhere to set up an air brush that would not get me murdered by the fiance. I understand that they make quite the mess, and most people airbrush in their garage or other similar type room where paint getting everywhere isn't an issue. Is that correct?

Airbrushing outside or in a garage is certainly doable, though there are people who airbrush indoors and just make sure that they've set up some type of "paint studio" area where overspray won't get on anything. Since its just compressed air and paint, you don't even really need ventilation like you would with aerosol sprays. And you'd be surprised how much control of the airbrush you can have; it won't go where you don't want it to go if you have some practice at it. doubleback - I tried shooting you a message yesterday to confirm if you were heading to the dojo/at what time, since the tuesday thread actually didn't have anyone confirmed to play a game. I'm free tonight, and can swing by the dojo or your place to pick up the airbrush, just let me know or shoot me a text (I messaged you my number).

I paint in a box on my dining room table. Works fine.

Ok so that shadow effect....probably more for large and detailed models, not for boyz, correct?

I'm no expert and I don't have an air brush. But the most recent episode of Independant Charactes talks about using the zenith all effect on regular space marines as a good way to speed paint your army and have it still look good.
So I think you're good for using on boyz. Based on that podcast anyway.

Well my question is sorta painting related. Do any of you have any experience striping paint off of minis? I have a bunch of units I got from a buddy who quit playing and even though he was great on table top he painted like a 2 year old with finger paints.

The best method is to use a degreaser. Simple Green is the most commonly vetted. You just let the model soak in said cleaner for a few hours and then use a toothbrush to remove the paint. It may still leave on the primer.

I have a bunch of units I got from a buddy who quit playing and even though he was great on table top he painted like a 2 year old with finger paints. I had much better luck with "super clean". It's an automotive degreaser that you can buy at Autozone. It's like $10 for a gallon. I have put models in it and within 48 hours the paint falls off under running water. Almost no scrubbing needed. It works really really well. I only chime in because I tried simple green and it didn't work for me at all. I had models I soaked in it for 6 months and after all that time it didn't do a damn thing. I have heard simple green lauded on the Webz but I think they changed the formula cause it really didn't do anything for me. Just my two cents

Does that stuff work on plastic models?
