Toot

I want to start making weathered models, and eventually dioramas. To do that I really need to paint them, too. I have a history of brush painting with Warhammer but find it time consuming for just laying down big swaths of color. Obviously weathering is brush painting and similar techniques.

Based on my recollection, spray cans take up a lot of space, aren't precise, and really need to be done outdoors. Air brushing seems like the way to go it's just more $ up front.

Opinions? #gunpla

@willhopkins I’ve no experience, Will. But I’d add the time taken to fill the spray bottle and then clean said bottle and spray nozzles, before deciding if it’s actually faster. On the other hand,you may get effects you can only achieve with an air brush. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Billthoo too true. It might be worth just practicing my brush painting and not shelling out for Citadel paints this time.
