Thank you, Mr. Usher!

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

I thought about puting this in the “Suggestions and Feedback” forum, but the painting one seemed more appropriate.

I think we should all give Matt Usher a big round of applause for his article on brush painting in the current FSM.

Airbrushes are handy tools, but they do have their limitations, sometimes making a mask for something is impractical, sometimes a part, or entire model is too small to airbrush decently. Sometimes you just simply don’t feel like airbrushing. Break out the brushes and back to the old school![:D]

1/72 models of smaller subject matter are great for brush painting, here’s a few samples from my collection that are, with the exception of rattle can clear coats, totally brush painted.


Revell Germany 1/72 Challenger 1


Academy 1/72 ME 163 Komet


Pavla 1/72 Siebel fh 104 Hallore

Thanks again for a great article Mr. Usher!
