Who Let the Dog Out

Kristian Beverly2 Comments

Today I got one model done or mostly done. I love my new airbrush! It has made painting so much faster and it always comes out smooth.
So my first completed model is the Indian Dog. He just needs to have his eyes finished. I did hand paint the white markings, but everything else was air brushed. The most important thing I’ve learned with the airbrush is making sure you have the right equipment. Always make sure you do and don’t try to work around it. Get the right equipment first, and you don’t have to worry about issues later!

In With The New

So for a while, I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to buy an airbrush. Today I went to Acmores, packed with a 50% coupon. Thank you craft stores for 50% coupons! So after looking and looking and comparing the different airbrushes I finally settled with a Badger’s Deluxe set model 200. It’s a single action internal mix.

It came with a small air can, which will last for a tiny bit but I have an air compressor. Now I will research on how to use it…..

Impulse

I have a lot of in progress customs. Currently, most are being prepped or just finished being prepped. But today I had the itch to sculpt. So a Breyer Stock Horse Stallion became my impulse victim.
The most important part of customizing is good reference, so it took a couple hours to find a good one. I decided on him being a loping western stallion.
Then hacking started.

And then laying Apoxie sculpt started.

He still needs alot of work done (especially his legs!) but I think he’s going to be a fun performance horse once he’s done!
