The base is all covered with a Candy Blue. THe True Fire effect is painted with over reduced white and some artool true fire stencils as well as hand made stencils. The rest of the base is backed with Black.

Hi Charlie,

What airbrush/needle size/psi are you using for painting the the less detailed areas on the bodies?

Hi Al, i use an Iwata Eclipse BCS. Come stock with a .5mm tip. Normally shoot from 40-80psi depending on how much thinning i do and what kind of paint(Opaques, Transparents, Pearls, etc.) 90% of my painting is with this brush...even with the fades and shadows.


If i want to get a little tighter, ill go with the Iwata HPCS which has a .35mm tip and lower my psi between 20-35psi.


*all paint varies in psi due to its shelf life, type, and consistency so you might get different results but generally you want the consistency of milk.

Cool thanks for the info. I'm currently using the HP-CS for tighter work and the Revolution BCR for wider areas. I usually don't go over 40psi when painting, I'll have to give this a try with the BCR. I'm currently using Faskolor and Createx paints.

Good luck~ Always paint with an open mind and try new things..you just might find it better than what you are used to.
