I'm going to need an airbrush tutorial for how to get those kinds of highlights on vehicles. All of my efforts look so obviously airbrushed, and your transitions are so much better.

Airbrush the base color, in this case the dark red, then wash the recesses but not the whole color, then use a lower psi and hit the center of the armor panel with the brighter color, the crimson for this guy. *edit* I use agrax earthshade to shade red, I don't like how carroburg crimson doesn't make much of a contrast in the colors.

That might also be my issue - I'm using corrorburgh crimson (or how ever you spell it) to wash my red armor for my thousand sons - and it doesn't create the depth I want. I'm also not switching my psi, which is probably a game changer. Thanks man!

I use about 18-20 psi for the base coat, and about 12-15 for more detail stuff. Hope that helps. The new adjustable air compressor is awesome.

18 - 20 for the base coat?! Damn. I use like 30.
I need to try turning it down!

Be forewarned that every once in a while you will need to blast some air through the nozzle to clean it out as it will get a little gummy from use on low psi, but after you do so you can use it again. Before resuming use, thought, spray a bit away from the model, as there will be a minimal amount of splatter that you need to get rid of before having an even spray again.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely give it a try. I'm very new to airbrushing as I just got mine about a month ago. So I appreciate any advice!

Ditto, what you've done here makes me feel like a child fingerpainting

Somehow Columbus Day is still a thing, so I've done a bit of painting.

Minus basing and a couple nickel and dime details, I'm saying this squad is done. There's more details on these clowns than I initially noticed!
