This thing is a MONSTER!
Do you wire all the smoke dischargers after the fact, or before paint?

Jeez Rhino...now I have to wire them. You people a brutal!

 

[moon puppy]

Brutal maybe but it'll be worth it.

Famous last words.

I was totally oblivious that figure knock offs was a thing.

Yep, it happens. Always a good idea to check. I see it quite often since figures are my main-stay and I know more than a few of the sculptors from Planetfigure, etc.

Now, back to the cat. This is panning out to be one mean sombagun. I love the smoke details, heck all of it, Ruck On!

Day 2 of preshading. I have to stop and let the air compressor cool down every now and then.

 

[moon puppy]

This is going to be great!

Looking good Tim!

I had one of those "run all the time" compressors years ago. It always ran hot and finally threw the rod for the piston and became junk. Went through several more variations and finally just bit the bullet and did a search for a small quiet tank airbrush compressor. Found a small "very quiet" two cylinder compressor with a one gallon tank that works great. Only thing I have to do is remember to turn it off and open the tank drain on it as it gets full of water from condensation. Makes a world of difference.

I'm using a 1.5 ga tank Husky. With this spray I'm draining the tank every couple of hrs. Probably not necessary, but I't ain't hurting anything either.
