Did you enjoy this video? I think Ciara did a great job for one of her first airbrushed models, do you? Let us know how your experiences were! If you like the content, make sure to check out the links below to support the channel, it means a lot to us!
She got my like from "hope nobody watches this".. :)
@@jaanikaapa6925 🤣😊 Haha, bless her. It's tough trying something new in a video! We appreciate the support 😀
lemme smash
She's so relaxed! As I wrote under your other airbrush video, I got my first airbrush last week, and when I first tried it I was virtually shitting myself the whole time for fear I'd break the airbrush/ruin the model/accidentally paint the room...
Great video and I've been considering getting an airbrush for a while. This video has given me the confidence to take the plunge and get an airbrush and start having a go 😀
Just got my first airbrush so was nice to see a new user showing how she got on. Great job Ciara thanks
no gloves, no mask. back spraying the black while wearing such a lovely sweater, living on the edge! You two always seem to be having so much fun. Love the channel.
"LIVING ON THE EDGE", its the only way to live 🤣. I didn't think about the sweater.. GG sweater.
Aw man... my first thought exactly. Clogged nozzle, backblow from the cup and BAM! sad sweater....
Loving the videos, and good to see a beginner doing so well! Obviously a natural or a very good teacher! Glad to see you’re better Ollie too.
Watching your videos for painting tips for painting railway models, but your inspiring me to get back into my warhammer!!
Great job, good to have a video of an actual early experienced rather than a perfectly edited one.
Great, vid! As someone that is getting an airbrush soon it’s great to see Ciara run through things, it’s definitely taken the fear out of starting.
Thanks to both of you as this video really brings us the necessary confidence to break the fear barrier and start using this must-have tool. The airbrush can really help to work efficiently on our pile of shame! Great vid, very interesting experience 👍
I am alive.
How do we know this isn't Oliver logged in as you? 🤔
The reason not to do the backwash thing on your hand is because the needle can pierce the skin and air bubbles can be forced into your bloodstream: that's normally pretty lethal. No idea if it's ever actually happened with an airbrush but it can and does happen in medicine with syringes...
Thankfully.
short Burst Means Your Trying to make it As Thin as posible Instead of Holding The Trigger Down
@@ChapterGrim The needle shouldn't be anywhere near the end of the nozzle if it's working and setup correctly, the needle moves backward not forwards when being used so again only a fool would find a way to get messed up in the way you are describing and would have to be done purposely. Buy an airbrush and you'll see just how impossible that scenario is.
Ciara is always a good sport. Love her appearances.
Very informative video, it shows how simple it is to airbrush. You can "complicate" things as much as you want, but for starting it is perfect.
Oooh! I'm blessed was thinking about giving airbrushing a try beginning of the week, and then this videos recommended.
A channel worth checking out and all by the looks of it.
I've just started using an airbrush, so this has been very helpful, thanks!
Cool video, I just got an airbrush so I'm looking forward to doing this for my next minis
I've had an airbrush in my closet for a whole year now but have been too scared to try it on anything important. I will use this to help me get over my fear! Thanks guys!
Do it! It's the best thing i've learned to use. Hopefully this helps give you some confidence to try 😀
Never be afraid to try or fail. It's only paint. If it doesn't work out, you can always start over. You might get it just right and realize you've wasted all this time being afraid instead of getting even better at it
Well said ^ ✊
Good video! It seemed like Ciara had previously had one or two lessons on airbrushing, but it's also obvious she was still in the beginner phase of the entire process, which I think is probably super helpful to watch for other people who are just starting out. The Idoneth mini did come out looking great! (Also hope Ollie is recovering from his covid experience!)
Well she did say the airbrush was set at 5 because that's what she has used before
Can't but love that amazing Irish voice💚🇮🇪
i just got an air brush and im literally watching this as i go painting a big snake for mansions of madness with it. so far ive zenithaled it and gone over it once with green ink and it looks great
Just bought my first airbrush and conveniently it's the same kit as the one in this video. Nice to see it working well and can't wait to use it. Cheers !
I can confirm it's rather good
I'm seeing great presenter potential from Ciara, really clear, genuine and informative, Keep at, it really enjoyed this.
I totally agree. I'm out, she is in! 🤣
This lady reminds me of someone I used to work with. Informative and funny too. Well done.
Very good airbrush introduction! Thx
You were absolutely charming to watch. It was our pleasure to watch you painting. Thank you for the information and inspiration.
Nice Vid. I just started air brushing, and I did learn something.
It was perfectly timed that I stumbled on this video today. I just did my first attempt at zenithal highlighting today on some Wyches, and while it might've been a bit rough I think they turned out okay. I'm going to try and hit them with some violet ink tonight after work, and I'm excited to see how they come out.
She is doing an awesome job. I will have to get in a spot to get mine out again and start airbrushing my minis she is inspiring
Yes, do it. I cant recommend airbrushing enough, its THE BEST hobby tool I own. 😀
Those dance moves were LIT! Loved the video!
Thanks! Ciara will be pleased 🥳
Awesome way to show people how not so scary a paintbrush is. Ciara use a latex or similar glove for the hand you hold the mini's with, it's a small added expense but saves your hand from all the paint and the same glove can be used over unlike when using it for sanitary or medical reasons. Really liking this series idea Broadsword brilliant idea.
Looks great!
It takes the anxiety away to start yourself. Thx Ciara.
Cool vid guys I’ve been thinking about trying airbrushing so this was useful. I’ll check out your other vid too!
Just bought the airbrush and compressor after watching this video 😂 I needed one as a beginner and it’s shiny! Best reviews on Amazon as well. Hopefully this will get me through the all of the ‘pile of opportunity’ 👍🏻
Yes, shiny is best 🤣
I bought the same airbrush kit after watching your previous airbrush video. It’s my first one and It’s very good and I’d definitely recommend it as a beginner
Oh awesome, how are you finding it? I'm really liking this. I did have a cheap one for a while, but there is a definite improvement with this one.
@@BroadswordWargaming I’m really enjoying it! So far I’ve not tried anything intricate but I’ve been using it to put base coats down. It’s made painting my marines and guardsmen so much faster. I’m still getting used to thinning the paints etc but I’m getting there.
Such a great video!
Glad you liked it!!
Perfect timing! I've just bought a (cheap, crappy) airbrush, and can't wait to actually get some paint on minis!
Oh awesome. Nothing wrong with the cheap ones, I used one for a year before switching up. 😀 Get stuck in, you won't regret it.
Just got my first air brush. I am blown away and will never paint the same again... amazing.
Ah that's awesome. It's so good isn't it!? The thing I use more than anything else. 😀
Totally cool video. Digging the accent and love the trial and error coverage.
Cool video. Well done Ciara. Trial and error is the name of the game.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Nice video as always!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Not long got my first airbrush! Cheers for the tips!
Ah brilliant! Enjoy and get stuck in. 😀
Great video i will love to see more of it :-)
Psi stands for "pounds per squre inch". It tells you the airpressure: 1 psi is 6,894 76 kPa equal to 0,068 947 6 bar

This was fun and informative. Looking forward to seeing some new Kill Team action soon.
I can't wait to get some Battle reports back. I have everything I need now, except the players haha. Time to teach Ciara how to play 🤔
Awesome video! I’m new to airbrushing to! Can’t wait to try it, thanks for the great information, can’t wait to use it. Also, count me as a new subscriber! Keep up the great work!! James
Thanks so much! Get stuck in, airbrushing is so good. 😀
A lot better than my first time.
hahah great job, thanks yall for a good video on airbrushing
Great job Ciara
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does zenithal highlighting without really knowing why lol. I've watched videos on it and I get the general gist of it, but I feel like it's only really noticeable if you are using inks or watered down acrylics that have translucency?
"It could blow a hole in your hand. I've not had that experience but I'll let you know" ahahahahaha
Great video guys, nice to see you back and in the new space!
Haha, ✋ had to put a full disclaimer or people would tell us off 🤣
@@BroadswordWargaming my favourite part was "I hope no one sees this" ... a winning CZcams strategy :)
As a beginner air brusher myself, dunno how effective her instruction is, but damn is she hawt. Learning to air brush is nice. Learning to air brush from a beautiful woman? Priceless
ty for the video
Great lookin' result.
As long as you don't remove the "end cap", there isn't any danger doing a backwash since the needle can't prick your skin. Blowing air into the bloodstream isn't good for anybody^^
Don't know if anybody said so already, but for the paint. Go for a skimmed milk consistency. If that makes sense (-:
I love her accent so much! You two are adorable together.
Thanks 😀
As long as the paint is the consistency of milk. I always mix in a plastic medicine cup and test it on the side of cup with your mixing brush and normally it’s 50%/50% paint and thinner if that helps
just the video i needed
Awesome, I hope you find it useful! 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming yes, now to get paints.......
Thats a much better 1st attempt than mine, i bought the wrong airbrush, used humbrol enamels and had a stinker. Bad advice from a model shop almost put me off fully. Hopefully these type of videos prevent others doing the same as me. The models looked great and i think the trigger hesitancy will serve you well long term
Oo that sounds a bit tricky. Hopefully it hasn't put you off giving it a go. And I think you're right, she is always very careful when it comes to highlights, layers and blends too. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming it was a good while ago but I am reasonably proficient now. Syphon feed single action brush and humbrol paint was possibly the worst start I could have had.
Love you Ciara 🥰🥰🥰
I am very new at airbrushing (5 days in) and this video was exactly what I needed! Thx!! One comment- in the paint change over process I think you need to also unscrew and clean the nozzle tip as I have noticed dry paint and buildup in this area?
Hey, ah great, I'm glad you've found it helpful!
Personally, I dont unscrew and clean the nozzle everytime, only when I feel it needs it or I've finished a session.. but, its good practice to unscrew and clean the nozzle tip, so keep at it 👌
If you stick a brush load of airbrush cleaner in (in-between colours), you can normally keep it pretty clean.
I did a "How to airbrush" video just a few weeks ago, if you haven't seen it. 🙂
And I hope you're enjoying the process, I love it now, its my favourite hobby tool.
great video and something to push me further towards wanting to buy an airbrush - my main concern is cleaning it. I had a cheap airbrush years ago and it was never the same after I took it apart after the first go to clean it. Looking at videos on youtube for using the vallejo cleaner, they show the brush been taken apart for cleaning rather than just blowing the cleaner through. Any tips?
Hey, thanks for the comment. I actually did a "how to" airbrush video just recently if you want to check it out, it does cover some cleaning. 😀
I would normally advise running water and/or cleaner through the brush inbetween different paints, and then giving it a full breakdown at the end of a session. You may also need to clean the tip or needle during a session if the paint has dried.
Ciara, I know they all eventually get messy, but I gasped in shock when you sprayed paint right on that nice clean cutting mat. Even AFTER you'd said that you should get some paper because it was still so nice! I had trouble concentrating through the rest of the video after that, having to watch it from between my fingers in case I saw something equally as horrifying, but what I did see was entertaining and informative. All of your novice painting attempts are equal or better than what I'm producing after quite some time at it. :)
We wiped it with cleaner after each segment and it's good as new :)
I need to say something to Ciara, please don't feel bad, because the only people that "has to watch this" is Ollie, the rest of us watch this because we like to. hope you two are feelling better.
😊 Ah, that's very kind. I'm always proud of her painting and how far she has come. I'm glad you guys enjoy the videos. 😀 and thank you, we are getting there, back to 90%, so on the mend.
Aw thanks 😊
Hey I’ve recently started airbrushing and I got started using your beginner video but I’m have a lot of problems with paint drying on the tip of my needle, is that because the paint is too thick? Great video btw!!!
Hey, thanks! Oh amazing, glad you found the last one useful.
There could be a few reasons as to why it's drying. If it is flowing ok, then it may not be too thick, but otherwise yes.
It will always dry up on the end, especially if you're using it for a prolonged period (or started spraying and left it for a few mins before spraying again). Make sure to stick some cleaner in the end, between colours (with a brush), to keep the needle and nozzle clean.
Don't fill the cup up too much, or it'll likely clog before you've gotten through all the paint.
Could also be low pressure, meaning it isn't pushing through "hard" enough.
Hopefully it's one of those reasons. 😀 Keep trying. I think I had a tendancy to over things my paints, which isn't the worst thing to do when starting.
You can brush a little bit of airbrush cleaner on the tip using a soft brush every now and then too :)
What a joy to see a young girl that doesn't look like a fishing lure with pierced hardware. Oh and very nice video.
Stunning auburn hair.
"I hope nobody watches this."
27,324 Nerds: "Hold my beer."
Haha 🍺🍺
cool video !
Thank you 😀
The Airbrush is such a powerful tool
It's my go to for most things now. I love it.
@@BroadswordWargaming Same for me, it safes so much time and allowes for realistic lightspots.
Ciara "Don't put that bit in" Oliver puts it in :)
Haha, Always. 🤣
I haven't finished watching the video but Ciara said if she's in the comments then we know she didn't die from not wearing a mask.
I can't see her in the comments...
RIP. 😅
We shall raise a sword to the lovely Ciara :p
@@StarFyreXXX GG Ciara
Does this compressor come with a moisture trap? I thought they needed one to avoid water contamination with the paint but I couldnt see one in the video
the first 7 seconds are the highlight of the video
Agreed. 😅 She wasn't even drunk this time! 😲
I think Ciara should do all the videos from now on ...
I've painted for about 9 or 10 months now after a 36 or 35 year break in the hobby. I only airbrushed model jets and the life back when I was a teenager and I'm 49 now. I think I know what to do but sure I have gaps in my knowledge so I still watch beginner videos. I'm hoping to learn a good way to airbrush inside my tiny man cave w/o getting paint spray everywhere. My PC sits right next to my painting table, don't have room to move it anywhere else. I have a window behind my desk but it's difficult to open due to my deep L shaped desk. Is there a unit that is good to remove airborne spray w/o connecting to the window? Doh, a light box could be that eh? Acrylic paint is pretty harmless from what I've read. Don't need to drink it or smoke it but it's pretty harmless. Unlike the old days of lacquer paints I used to use and the lead miniatures we painted back in the 70s & 80s.
Hey! So, you can get extraction boxes that don't have to go to a window. Search for them on amazon, as that'll probably be what you're after.
Personally, I dont get much trouble with over spray or particles when in in doors (but im in a well ventilated space). I wouldn't advise doing doing indoors, with no extraction or ventilation for extended periods of time, as you can eventually "taste"/"feel" the particles.. which is probably not good. We have to look after ourselves too 😀
I received an airbrush for my birthday LAST YEAR and haven't used it! Tbh I've been pretty scared to use it (like you do when you get new things) I may give it a go now - thanks guys
You can do it. If you haven't seen the "how to airbrush" video, check that one out too.
Like yourself, I was kind of scared to give it a go, so I really want to help people who haven't quite built up the nerve to use it. 😀 I'm glad you've found it useful.
I love my airbrush, it's the best tool I own.
@@BroadswordWargaming for sure, I’ll let you know how I get on
I've just finished my spray can primer and since I've bought an airbrush I'm tempted to go on to airbrush primers such as Vallejo's. However, I've heard the primer isn't very durable? I always put a thin layer of spray can primer anyway.
I use the vallejo primers through an airbrush, I used to have some issues with it flaking, but found some discussions on various forums that suggest you should let the primer cure for 24 hours before painting over it, not had any issues since I started doing this. Longer term, when airbrushing you usually seal with gloss/Matt varnish to protect the final paint scheme anyway
Ciara : Its all about trial and error and everyone screws up to start with but practice, practice, practice and you will see the difference happening and from there on in, you will be in awe of what can be achieved. Nice Jumper, suits your hair colour.
Thanks you ☺️
Hope you guys are feeling better
Thank you! We are getting there, back to 90%, so well enough to start making videos again, hopefully. 😀😀
I imagine Ciara's mum saying "B'jesus she'll be getting paint all over that lovely Jersey!" Because this is what I hear in my head from my own Irish mum, on anything I do :'D ha! Loved the video! Liked how calm Ciara was :)
Everyone is worried about the jumper haha.
@@BroadswordWargaming it is a lovely jumper! Ha!
Loved the vid. Good way of showing a novice airbrushing
Thanks! I hope people can take something from it 😀
havnt backwashed paint and blown my hand apart but i have blown black paint all over my nice secratlabs chair :P
Hi guys, thank your for effort, however how do you get this clean smooth surface from a 3D print ? What is your process of sanding ?
I don't think anything in this video was 3d printed? It's the idoneth Deeping models from GW. 😀
nice one, great to see someone with a different level of experience show and tell. And funny- 'hope no-one watches this'.. 15k views later... :-)
I know 🤣 haha. Glad you enjoyed it
I have thought about getting an airbrush if I was to ever take the big plunge into the hobby. If I was going to play AOS or 40K and being painting a big army. That way it could go smoother and quicker for larger quantities of models. Also I like what I have seen from others who pair up the airbrush along side inks. Great video and I look forward to the next one. Cannot wait till this plague is past us and we can live normally again.
Ciara is awesome LOL WE all have problems To deal with When it Comes TO it My parents refuse to let me Airbrush in my ROOM lol
for practical purposes, is it possible ot just use regular spray can primer for the priming portion? just to cut down on the amount of airbrush fiddling?
Absolutely. I had gone off spray primers, but recently got some chaos black and leadblecher, and love it again. I would still use the airbrush if I was after more accuracy though (which I normally am for space Marine armour).
@@BroadswordWargaming Awesome! Thanks.
2:15 lol I love it
I noticed that the beer can disappeared after the priming was done. Is beer only necessary for the first step or can it be used throughout? 😂. Enjoyed the video - as someone who’s just got their first airbrush, this was the encouragement I needed to get started.
"This is how you should airbrush... but not this or this or this. That's apparently unsafe. but this is how you airbrush"
Nice video. I've been considering getting an airbrush but didn't want to have to replace all my paints... but it would appear I dont have to!
I don't use paint brushes for mixing inside the pot, I use silicone tipped tools. They are hardier than bristles but still soft and pretty much completely clean up with a quick slosh in some water.
OPINIONS NEEDED...I'm looking to repair and repaint plastic holiday blow molds. What is the best/easiest air brush to use?
Hey! Its basically budget based. You can pick up a cheap one on amazon for about £40, which might be a good place to start.
czcams.com/video/-W9MGYa8FuQ/video.html
I did a review in it there. ^ Hope it helps. 👍
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 👍🏼
Always appreciated! 😀
Thank you for the nice and funny video. For the Vallejo Primer, Do not use the Airbrush Cleaner as a flow Improver, it will "break"and weaken your paint. Use the flow Improver instead, though you can go with Thinner only if you don't have the improver to add it to the mix. my 2 cents.
Way to good for you mate.
Ah, my dear children! Growing up so fast! Time to use my airbrush... Finally!
Can we have a 1 hour video of Ciara dancing like in the intro when you hit 25k subscribers?
Haha, if she's down for that, I am in! 🤣🤣
Awesome! It was weirdly rather calming!
You "hope nobody watches this" lol ;) that's great youtuber-work there haha. Another great vid both.
Haha, I know! 😅
I only backspray if I've got cleaning liquid in, otherwise you're just running the risk of having paint muck run back up deep inside the brush via capillary action. Fine if you don't mind giving it a fully disassembly and clean every so often.
I posted a vid of my new vortex shaker mixer thing on reddit recently and some of the comments implied it's really satisfying use, you should probably have edited that bit out...
🍆
Great video! GJ Ciara. You´re soon better and faster painter than Olly :P Mayby you´ll finish those marines he started. Or paint that pile of shame too? :D
STOP STEALING FROM MY PILE. 🤣
Don't only 23K of us have watched it so far
