I’m primarily a miniature painter and use an airbrush every day. You don’t need an expensive airbrush like an iwata or harder and Steinbeck for something like this. A non brand £20 airbrush from Amazon will do the job absolutely fine
The splatters look a little like dirt on the body. I wonder if there is a way to flick them a little larger to create a shooting star effect. Thanks for sharing your design.
Nice vids thanks. I’m gonna use spray cans for my first ever Schumacher paint job. Does the same rule apply to spray white behind fluro to make it pop? I didn’t know that. Thanks
Hey! For this one I used my standard compressor from Amazon ( video on channel ) and a cheap gun with a 1mm nozzle, currently working on a video with all the details :) thanks for watching!
Iv just come across your channel and just got back into RC racing I build scale movie rep trek models and use an airbrush but mate Iv just basically had a Brain 🧠 fart when you started removing from the inside 😂 What did you use inside first before drawing the design on the outside?
It lasts OK to be honest! You can also laquar the inside for extra longevity , or if it's an 1/8 shell or larger you can use fibreglass tape or aluminum tape in areas that need it! Or shoe goo.
That paint doesn't say it's meant for polycarbonate. It might be okay for a race buggy but I imagine it would flake off on a crawler body unfortunately. We don't do the shoe goo thing for crawler bodies, we want them lightweight. Proline makes paint specifically for polycarbonate, spaz stick also, I think a few more.
Learn together, that's the spirit!
100%!
Awesome videos bro
Glad you like them!
Niceeeee ❤

I like the sound of that
How do you match the other side with the design
I used a header card and by eye!
Whatbdo u use for the inside skin?
Can acrylic paint work on polycarbonate?
won't it peel off?
Holds up well! For sure. I'd use the recommended body paint for polycarbonate though.
