New to Airbrushing question?

[Modler bob]

That's it....
I've been outbid.
So won't bother anymore, just use brushes like I always did.
Maybe look at spraying later
Thanks for all the help guys.

I can sort of remember Davi Bailey's Olympus ads.
Particularly the one where he got asked 'Who do you think you are? David Bailey?'
I think the scenario might have been a wedding in the ad.

It might have been an Olympus Trip that he was advertising in it.
Had one a long time ago, metal body and it had an excellent lens.

Just telling you you need a satin finish.

Just telling you you need a satin finish.

I should've been more accurate in my question, sorry.....
The varnish in question is to be added to the base colour, and I wasn't sure why.
Would it be because the base paint isn't available in satin only matt?

Quasimodo and Esmarelder were to be married but Quasimodo was worried about the photographs due to his disfigurement.
Someone told him of the great photographer David Bailey. So he called him and asked if he could take the wedding pictures.
At a meeting Mr. Bailey said that as the world's leading fashion photographer he could guarantee that Quasimodo's hump would not be seen. At all!
The wedding was held and Bailey took dozens if not hundreds of pictures of the bride, groom and the guests.
A week passed and Bailey phoned Quasimodo to tell him the pictures are ready.
Excited Quasimodo asked if all went to plan.
Well, began Bailey, the photos are some of the best I have taken but there is a problem...
Quasimodo cut him off . It's my hump isn't it you can see my hump.
Bailey replied. I guarantee you can not see the hump in any of them.
Puzzled quasi asked what the problem was.
David took a deep breath.
Well Mr Quasimodo, we can't shut the bloody album.


I'll see myself out.

Most likely.

I wouldn't add varnish to the base coat as it will reduce the covering power of the paint. Just paint the model and then varnish it after.
