Post by leesellars »

Hello Chaps

As said earlier i will be there for both days. All Armorpax accessories will be through me again so Dave can have a day off.
I will be selling my Action figures as normal and new for this year is the Die Werkstatt range of accessories.
On Sunday i will be doing an introduction to Air Brushing with a range of my air brushes.For those who havent done any of this type of painting you are welcome to have a go session.
Please let me know who is interested for this session on sunday so i can estimate what to Bring.

Also if anyone has something in particular for me to bring down please let me know now.

Here are some photos I took during Lee's demonstration:

He started off with some primed side armour panels, which were just the right size for the demonstration and handy to pass around:

Lee gave lots of other practical examples, such as how to join two colours of camouflage together, as well as showing what happens with too much and too little air pressure.

Many thanks to Lee for a very informative demonstration, lots of useful information and insights into the equipment and the techniques involved.

Adrian.

Hello Adrian

Thank you for posting that. I was just a pleasure to display some of the air brushing skills. As long as you all learnt something. If you all have that is the iceing on the cake. :D
