Finally used the Airbrush

 

Finally sucked it up, over came my fears and fired up the airbrush this weekend. It was amazing. I managed to Prime, and base coat my 5man Dev squad in alittle over an hour, not counting time to clean out the brush between paints. The Vallejo primer shoots amazingly thru my brush, no thinning, I think my PSI was alittle high, so going to experiment alittle lower. I base coated with Extra Opaque Game Color "Heavy Blue" mixed around 4 drops Paint : 5 Drops Thinner. I used around a 50/50 mix of distilled water and windex as my thinner. I probably could have gone alittle thinner on the paint, but it shot fairly well enough to get me thru the 5 models. At the end of the day i was already getting go enough to only hit small targets with the Brush, like just the hands on the heavy weapons with little to no over-spray. 

I can't belive how much faster and smoother it was to get this done, I am going to try and get the metallic and detail done, and then move on to the next unit on the list.

Here is my setup, and primed the units
