Paul,

That's brilliant. Simply great work. Can't wait to see the two of them on the same base.

Just got hold of a Mac valve myself after having heard good things about them. How did you find it?

Thanks Andrew, very kind.

Early days yet. But it certainly makes it easy to reduce flow through the brush - I have a habit of getting everything just so, then mucking it up with a last, ill-considered full power blast of paint. Now (if I remember to use it) the MAC valve gives me an option to choke off the potential for doing this. 95% of my airbrush use is priming and varnishing (where the valve is largely redundant), so it'll be some time before I've used the valve enough to pass proper judgement on it.

Thanks Paul. Always good to have some personal insight, YouTube videos can help but only so far!

Keep up the great work on the figure!
