well after my battle ,with the vallejo,gray primer,oh my whats going on,
with it will not spray at all,even in a .3 need,driving me mad,and blacks,just as bad,,
maybe just me,
but manage to get it done,then a topping of,off white,to give a little yellowing of the color,
then I will come back over with,a true white,
made the stone,wall,done a little to the cross,need to get some done,before it gets to hot,
again today,up in the high,30c,thy say 37c oh it will kill me,im not good in the heat,
well hope your liking the progress,so far,

ta Colin,glad that your liking it so far,

it maybe a factor,in it,I real don't know,I have noticed that a the start of a bottle,even shaking it
some what,I will spray fine,that being the black primer,the gray a whole different story,don,t
know if I,m getting on stock,or heat damaged in the first place off my guys,
but it real takes, the fun out of trying to AB,paint a model,

Have you got a bigger needle Monica ?
Or try thinning it and apply a couple of coats

I have ordered and .5 and waiting on that one to arrive,
I have been thinning it as well,and still,so hard to stray,would have to be 50/50,
it just drives me so mad,and how can you mix to the consistency of milk,when it looks,
like water,

What pressure are you running your compressor at Monica ?

What pressure are you running your compressor at Monica ?

try between 12 to 25 psi,don,t like making the old girl run to hard for to long,as they get a bit hot,so also run a fan on the compresses as well,
wwell some good news,my .5 showed up this morning so will give that a try new,build,hoping it will work better,
or may have to think about using a different brand of paint,something is different about vallejo,I have noticed any way,

[monica]

well some more done to this one,over the course of the day,
the tiger is ready for the,decals,maybe you cn see,I have done some in true white,

[monica]

this morning update on this one,
have done quite a bit,with the church,have added the roof,and some vines to it,
still bits and bobs,and other things,to do,
well hope your liking this so far,
