I forgot that you have magic airbrushes Chris. [:p] [(-D]
Mike
oh i forgot…you believe everything you “read” from magazines…LOL later.
what do you mean? according to fsm issue #1729 volume 2 revison 3.10, iwatas are nice but badgers are nicer :D:D:D:D:D
No Chris that was from the horses mouth so to speak…Ken Schlotfeldt.
He has a little bit more experience than either of us. [:p]
Mike
ooooooohhh!! WOW!! “Ken” said it!!! i’m sorry!! later. [;)]
yeah, he has more experience than all of us. combined. x 2. squared. over.000000001.
could be swiggin on the old jar of Tenax again Mike… he’s already fessed up to it in the past! [;)]
nahhhh…i just have raw talent, not magic airbrushes!!![:D][:P][:)]
if you have talent, you don’t need iwata
My thoughts exactly. [(-D][(-D]
Mike
You sound a little jealous there bubba. [:D]
Well, since Badger buys the competitions airbrushes and compares them when they are doing R&D, I would think his comments to me carry considerable clout from actual useage. [:p]
You do tend to learn a lot about airbrushes when you work in the business of manufacturing them for several years and own the company for another 12 years. [;)]
The reason is that Iwata uses a long taper on their needles along with small openings in the tip to get a fine line. That in itself causes more problems for getting paints to reliably spray through them.
The same could be said of some Badgers also including the 100 series and the Sotar with fine tips.
Mike
Why not?
Huh? [%-)]
Mike
why not?
jealousy?LOL of what? badger stuff?!! no, i just think its funny that you throw some big name at me and thats it, nothing else should be said. while i respect Ken’s opinion, that is merely his opinion, or observation. now, my airbrushing is limited to modelling…thats it, with the exception of about 100 T-shirts or so, but that was with a VL. but i’ve never had a minutes trouble out of my hp-cs. never has been finicky. always works everytime. i’m just stating my experience with my airbrush. no jealousy here friend.
now, i was just trying to take a harmless shot at ol’ 3713, thats the only reason i dropped in this thread. just a little humor is all. later.
Yes it is Ken’s “opinion”, but he is light years ahead of all of us in terms of airbrush design, etc. and researches and tests these products daily.
I don’t call that just his opinion, I call that expertise from someone who knows what he is talking about and can back it up. [:p]
This originally was about Badger airbrushes having the ability to atomize paint easier than Iwata’s do, it was not a quality issue.
By the way we are talking about Iwata airbrushes in general, not just the HP-CS you mention. Even you have stated in the past that your HP-C did not atomize modeling paint very well and that is my point exactly.
Mike
no mike, this was originally a thread about Ryan having trouble with his 155, but we all know that it is probably his paint, not the airbrush. with that said, i just dropped in a little joke about it that went something like “typical badger results IMO”…remember? not about how iwata’s or badgers atomize paint. next, you posted your technical statement about iwata’s being more finicky about spraying paint. i didn’t even address you, i was just hackin’ on Ryan…no harm ment, just clowning around. i then stated “not mine”. and yes, i agree 100% with you, the hp-c that i have is finicky with modelling paint with the .3mm n/n, but we all know that the airbrush is not designed around modelling, but illustration. thats cool, i agree with you on that. i had no intentions of debating with you or your highly qualified friend Ken. i’m certainly no expert on airbrushes…at all. i disagree with you saying that my airbrushes are “magic”, as we both know there is no such thing.[:)] they are close, but not quite!!LOL i’ve never experienced trouble with my hp-cs and modelling paint, is that due to “magic”? no, its just a great airbrush. have i experienced trouble with the hp-c? yes, and, as soon as i determined that the needle taper and the nozzle opening weren’t exactly suited for modelling paints (though some on here state success with the hp-c and modelling paints) i bought a conversion kit and since then she’s been no problems. again, these statements are from a simple fella in lower Alabama that enjoys glueing up some plastic and painting it with an airbrush, not to be interpreted to refute the expertise of the owner of Badger airbrush co.[;)] a qualified airbrush expert that is light years ahead in airbrush design i’m not, but a fella who is simply satisfied with the results of his impeccible iwata airbrushes, that would be more like me. my statements are based soley on my experiences with badger, iwata, and paasche products, in which i simply choose iwata over the rest based on my experiences with each. but not being an expert, i should believe what an expert says, regardless of my actual hands on experiences with said products? how can you effectively disuade someone from what they actually have experieced? later.[;)]
If I got a doller for every time somebody asked me a question, I would be a rich, rich man - Shane Kenneally
No Chris, it sounds to me like your actual experience is exactly what I was trying to get across. No hard feelings brother as it was just a miscommunication. [;)]
Mike
no problems on my end my friend!! probably could place the blame on the “typed” word again. i’m just an ol’ iwata man that likes to stir up some badgers ever now and again.!![;)]LOL later.
You are not “ol” yet Chris. [:D][;)]
