Worklogs should be fun!--In that spirit, here is a short video showing some airbrushing work :)

Love it. Thanks for showing us how the masters do it.
that was awesome. You make such complex ART look like child's play. Amazing!!!
Dude...I work for you, I have seen your tricks, and your work up close..... and that **** was KILLER. I just had to add that. Move along...nothing to see here.
Tomorrow my air brush kit will be here and your video was just very illustrative in how to move the hand, I cant wait to try out :)
Thanks
PS Cant wait for the next video clip.
Simply amazing.
Question: What will you do with the case when finished?

I just need to learn how to be more patient(sp?).....and spell better.
Is air brushing very expensive to get into?
this project is amazing. the attention to all the details is phenominal. and what i like about it is it uses a lot of techniques i've been learning with the miniature gaming i'm doing.
i do have to ask how you did the weathering effects on the airlock. and i notice you use a super glue for assembling plastics. why not use a plastic glue? i use it strictly for my plastic models and the stuff is great. i have dropped models onto concrete floors from 5ft high or more and i have not broken a piece yet ::knock on wood:: i use the model master brand and i have been using the same bottle for nearly 2 years now. i have found very little is needed to hold pieces together. and what's great if you need to fill gaps it does that well too when used right. (sorry if you know this i just wanted others to know about the plastics glue)
this project of yours has me wanting to build one based on the miniature games i play. and once i can get the funds up to get the parts i need i will give it a go and hopefully it will be soon enough to post progress here.
great work crimson sky (and anyone else that might be part of the project). it's great inspiration for people like myself. and it shows what money and talent can do. (sorry bit of sarcasm from me being jealous)
I recently spent about $20 on a few modeling glues (1 epoxy, one "quick drying" filler glue), and neither work well, the glue is anything but quick drying, and the epoxy smells like rotten eggs even when dry. Just wondering what you use, thanks mate.
I use Pacer brand Zap-A-Gap super glue for 90% of my construction with plastics--I do sometimes use plastic solvent type cement for very small parts.Quote:

Off the main page here http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/ if you scroll down a bit until on the left hand side says "Project Galleries " under that are listed all of his projects (plus a few others).Quote:

Sure thing--that is planned for the next video, it just so happens :)
Hey crimson or anyone else that airbrushes, I have a cheap airbrush that I use at the moment. Which I would like to upgrade, but before I upgrade the brush I think I should upgrade to an air compressor. Im currently using those crappy propellent cans, which if anyone has every used are a pain to use. What should I consider when purchasing an air compressor? The problem with the propellent cans is that the air flow is inconsistant. Would I still have this problem with a small compressor or should I get a larger one?
You shouldn't have the problem with a small compressor, provided you have a relay tank in between. My father just set up his garage with an impressive layout - he has a large compressor housed just outside, to reduce noise, with air pipe running throughout the garage and stations every so often. That way he can hook up air tools to it, and at his airbrushing station he has a pipe that runs to a secondary tank with a pressure regulator between the secondary tank and the gun. That way the compressor constantly refills the tank and the regulator keeps the pressure to whatever he wants. Works great.
You could do this yourself with a compressor, secondary tank and a regulator. Piece of cake.
Are there going to be demons on this case aswell? If so, how are you going to incorporate them?
Maybe you could put a few bullet holes in the building or burnt explosion marks?
Or possiby one of those barrels of toxic waste on the walkway.
Just food for thought.
There won't be any demons--I ditched that idea after considering it for a while. :D
Not sure if anyone knows about the Classic Doom 3 mod. These guys are recreating Doom with the Doom 3 engine. Take a look and maybe you'll get some new ideas for this case.

In case it is true..
Happy B-day Crim!

Hopefully I can get good with it and add some effect like Crimson did. I've been watching that video of airbrushing a few times.
Wow just saw some of those final pics and it looks awesome. I just hope that when I get round to doing mine it looks as good as that
