Love it!
How did you do the gradient colors?
Oops never mind I didn't notice your post.
Simply amazing. Makes me tempted to buy one now.

Wow! - Absolutely friggin' Wow!
You've done an exceedingly meticulous job of picking out all the little details in the mold and the wings look almost organic! - Imagine a whole row of these on the shelves?, you wouldn't, because they wouldn't last long enough!

+1 except for doing the video part, coz Im not so good with those , :P

Just had a convo with that guy. All a misunderstanding, like you said. Said he's sorry for the mishap.

I think i remember you saying something like you got a new airbrush but went back to.using your old one? Do they vary that much? I'm considering doing my first custom and wouldnt mind some tips on brush choice from customisers and not a salesman.

Yeah they change the way it sprays..... the spread pattern ... i changed needle and it changed again!! so annoying ... on a larger paper you wouldn't really notice .... but when you working with a tiny transformer toy ... you can tell straight away! You are doing the same thing but it come out different so you have to get use to how it sprays again....

This one i use .... it a cheap one .but good..and i was pointed to the site from a airburshing tutorial site and he said it as good as the really expensive one.... it a good one to start off anyways... and i gotten use to it .... so it kick ass ...

The really good one cost $500 plus ... but i think it a combination of alot of thing and not the brush alone .... i got a good air compressor that you can change the exact PSI level which help alot but also your paint as well.... You should get a water base paint ...just because it easier to wash up ! And there's alot of washing up!! between every coats!

If your just starting out i think you just get the proper set up with everything in place So like the air brush - the air compressor -the hose - The Stand for the air brush!! Very important one !! Aligator clips - a lazy susan(turn table)And of cause the paints......Then you get to know how everything works then you find your own workflow .By then you would know what to look for in the equipment that right for you ....
