What a joke, just like xrrk site.

You know what would have been nice...if you'd have shown what you was doing and not just tell about it. I am lost and not really learning anything. Otherwise, fairly good.

Looks amazing hopefully now I’m confident enough to ballast my peco points here in uk England

Tip do not place glue or ballast near the points, the control rod, the heel joints, wheel guards, or the frog. These sections are powered and contain the moving parts of the switch. If anything gets in here you will weld the switch shut and it will not work and you can cause a derailment.

I was here when I was little. I went to this school. I loved trains when I was little.

If there is something useless in this world it's this. RECORD YOUR F*CKING SCREEN!!!!!!

😎

Is this some kind of joke. This is a how to use the software video? Why are we looking at this guy? Why are we not shown the actual software? WTF!!

Rubbing alcohol as your " wet water", applied with an eye dropper is what i have used for years. Allows the glue solution to saturate the ballast. As the glue penetrates the ballast it pushes out the alcohol so you know when you have applied enough glue.

I appreciated the effort and clarity of the demonstrator, however, the overall video was diminished by all the background comments and confusion by the class members. Same video, but with camera focused on the demonstrator's screen would have been more helpful.

Tamiya is not for RC Cars. It is for styrene model kits. It is an alcohol based paint, and should be thinned with alcohol, not water.

Acrylic latex paint shoots very well through an airbrush when properly reduced. The most common use of this media through an airbrush is mural art. Most mural art, including detail aspects of the mural, are done with acrylic latex.

Even copied the comical paint mixer using instruction from the plagiarized video. The paint mixer is from Badger, and the plagiarizing presenter could not even give the original presenter the credit of identifying the brand of the mixer. czcams.com/video/tsW-vN0_lHw/video.html

If you want an exact viscosity of 2% milk it is 17 to 20 seconds on a #2 zahn viscometer

My gosh this guy stole everything from the viscosity rule...to it's not rocket science. Wouldn't be so bad if he at ssome point gave credit to the original presenter and presentation. czcams.com/video/tsW-vN0_lHw/video.html

internal mix will give a way better finish than an external mix, I don't think the teacher knew how to answer the old dude!

Where to begin here... listening for a bit, and my answers keep getting longer. Few things to say above what the speaker is saying. The 2n1 siphon to gravity feed Badger, the cup actually swivels around the needle, and becomes either siphon or gravity. People who find this type of brush attractive are those who need to go from fine detail work requiring lower pressure of gravity feed, to bulk of a large siphon cup for production runs. Externals are much easier to use, until they clean one. But externals require more pressure, and go through paint FAST. Generally, they cover a lot more area, and have fewer issues dues to the nature of how they move paint. Windex as a cleaner. Wow. Ok, ammonia does break down some aspects of acrylic paint, but is nothing next to true solvents like lacquer thinner. In order to get the level of ammonia needed to "dissolve" acrylic paint, you need more than Windex. Windex will get you a bad headache, literally, when you atomize it thru your gun. It will not remove the residue which has built up on your needle and internal parts over several paint changes, you will still need to break down the gun and manually clean the needle and nozzle at least. Use evacuator (spray booth to outside) when using ammonia. Air supply... nobody uses much of anything other than compressors, and there are a few options (again based on needs of the hobbyist or the airbrush) and most hobbyist use a smaller single piston little 1/6th HP jobbers. Serious model makers invest in larger compressor set-ups, and there again these can vary based on their needs. Tanks are the best option for an air supply, they cut down on the overall run time of the compressor itself. The biggest thing about compressors is having a good moisture trap, and a good regulator which you can monitor and precisely the pressure at the hose of the airbrush. Overkill is a matter of needs, not the size of the compressor tank. I have a 21 gallon tank with a 2 HP motor. Overkill? Not one bit when I also use it to run a mini HPLV which requires at least a sustained 35-40 PSI. Hoses are a dime a dozen, but knowing how to step up the hose to the compressor... PRICELESS. Badger has one fitting, Iwata is a straight 1/8". Knowing the difference between NBT and BSP threads is handy. As the speaker stated, getting the moisture trap away from the compressor is best, letting the air cool. I run two inline filters. Having a regulator that is precise is a must, and I also run two regulators, one on the compressor, and one inline before the airbrushes' hose line. One to get it close, and one to pinpoint it, in a step-down.

Enjoyed learning from these fellas thanks for the time gentlemen

How is this a basic tutorial without seeing the screen? All I see is gray haired guy in glasses...laughs! get real!

Nice post! The ballast looks great. Good tips .

They also make adaptors for different brushes cause they all have different size valves I always cost my needle with badger needle juice and do not use tap water get some wipes and Tamils sells a airbrush cleaner or use distilled water some airbrushes have or will only be able to use one size some company’s have 3 different sizes that will work in one brush you should clean your brush often if you use it a lot to keep it running like new use needle juice on your trigger spring asembley al over it I put it on the treads just a tiny bit if you paint every day I would clean it at least once a week John knows more he is fucking with the guy I’m pretty sure cause this guy don’t know as much as he thinks lol

All paint is expensive you will get a far better paint job with pro paints don’t ware your time with hobby dollar store paint don’t use alcohol use distilled water most airbrush artists strain ther paints you put it on you bottles and leave it till it clogged up amo has great oils and they work awesome all paints you should we’re a respirator it’s acrylic think about it some are carcinogenic the blacks that have carbon

I’d buy airbrush paint that is premixed I use that hobby shit once in a while if I’m doodling around badger has excellent paint especially for modellers wen you are new at it you have enough to learn without fucking around with shitty paint make sure you put marvel or something that will mix it and I’ve bought the same colors from company’s that are not the same Color different batches once in a while but badger paint or wicked from iwata they have awesome paint it’s harder to find good paint in Canada golden also makes a paint dr martins is another one amo is another company that pretty much is for modellers amo has some really good paints and it’s all for modellers use distilled water all the time unless u want to wreck your airbrush all the shit in tap water alcohol i would never use ther Is some inks that you can use that are alcohol based but you will get dry tip all the time if you use alcohol

You can tell if you have airbrush Ed long enough I don’t even have to look at the gauge I can tell from the air comming out of the brush I’d put a moisture trap on my hose with them little compressor s refridgerator compressors are awe some but they are expensive

And you will still get water comming out with the smal one every now and then

The more airbrushes the better I disagree with you this guy is right external is good for priming or putting thick stuff through if you don’t want to ruin a good brush I don’t think you know what you were talking about then a lot of modellers have different size needles for different jobs you need smaller needle for detail or a different brush to put your clears through a lot of modellers use automotive kandy colors so you need a bigger needle brush for that so having more brushes is not a bad idea you can buy brushes pretty cheap

It’s called a 360 it’s on the top and the bottom it’s a great airbrush dual feed

Try tapping on the track side cork with a hammer also the help things settle in Nicely.

the opening speech sounds a little familiar [i hope it dosnt sound like in"badger"ing you]

This video is pretty much useless without seeing the computer screen. When producing a training video for computer software, you have to have the viewer to see the computer screen to learn where things are and how things should look like as you go through the training.

If you wish to see the original version of this information presentation, by its original presenter, check out this video: czcams.com/video/az00Gcx5sO8/video.html

The Universal 360, the dual feed airbrush exclusive to Badger, has incredible utility in model railroading. The best example is the model railroader who puts a prototypical finish on a box car, a bottom feed application, then goes in and details and weathers it, a gravity feed airbrush application.

Wonder where this gent got his content? That's the seminar I've given at NMRA for over 15 years. Heck he even "stole" my analogies. WOW. czcams.com/video/tsW-vN0_lHw/video.html

You lost me with the reflector tape, too thick not prototypical

Cant get more "basic" than a beginner, I was lost within the first minute, I thought I was going to "see" how to do things!

Nice to listen to someone who really knows what he's talking about. Thanks.

Why did you use such a low camera angle? We can't see anything!

Yeah. Lousy camera work. Closeups! Need Macro-Closeups!

Great video. Appreciate so many tips and abundant information.

WHERE'S the REST of it????!!!!

why would a multi national company let their equipment go so rusty ? it wouldn't happen in the real world.

Wish this could happen again

You say it's free, but you never tell how to download the software?

Thanks for doing these videos! I am just about to start airbrushing and I found it very helpful. I also thought it looked like Eric was trying to paint John's mouth shut at about 16:44 or so... lol

When moving on to other options. He has to tell

Damn Nice Train Waggon

It would really have been useful to have the instructor give some advice on what to use with a tool compressor to step down and fine control to airbrush, rather than just "good luck with that"...
