Which F1...siphon or gravity feed?

Getting fine flow control is easier (I didn't say EASY) with a gravity AB. You can shoot at lower air pressures and keep the paint where you want it.

Some paints are easier to paint with. Thinner lacquers, like SpazStix and Alclad offer greater control for shading and streaks. They dry quick and stay where you shoot them.

I think it is the siphon feed brush, as I don't think the gravity feed brush is out yet.



As for tips, grab some paper and pratice your stroks (fine lines, wide lines, and daggers), and then pratice those again on plastic once you get the hang of it on paper.

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA AS LEXAN IS A PRICY CANVAS

Very nice! It's easy to spot mistakes when your the one that made them, most of the time no one else ever sees them. I can't see a thing wrong. Good job!
