An Ode to the Airbrush

An Ode to the Airbrush

You don’t even have to be good.

Apply a zenithal prime and a translucent base color, now you’re in business!

When you pick up that mini to paint, now you’re not starting at zero. You’ve already knocked out a good chunk. You’ve enabled yourself. A barrier is gone, it’s easier to start painting.

Things you’ll need

  1. An airbrush. I use a Badger 105 Patriot
  2. A compressor
  3. An air hose
  4. Depending on your airbrush/compressor/hose combo, you might need an adaptor
  5. Airbrush paint, or thinned miniature paint

The Badger 105 Patriot that I use puts out a lot of paint, maybe too much really. But I wanted something that I can use on terrain as well as minis. Here’s a few examples of minis that have been run through the spray booth. I really find it mentally heartening to pick up a mini to paint that’s already 20% done.
