We're back with John for a moment to talk with him about the first stages of airbrushing his Battleship. Well, Warren's Battleship!
We also hear about some of the tips you can use if things start to go a bit iffy.
Will red paint make the ship go fasta? 😉
I’d houserule it like that. Maybe an equal increase to the ship signature?
Opfffh! you beast me to it!

Good advice.
I have to admit that I am not keen on this schema at all – it looks great on a classic T65 X-Wing but I prefer the grim military industrial look that the studio UCM have gone for.
Warzan kept saying (quite rightly) that he grew up with sci-fi having a certainn style blake 7, bladerunner etc and sci fi was grey in his day and that how he likes it. which is fair enough really.
no wash?
Not yet 😉
I’d have to re-prime it so many times it would just look like a big blob
not sure about lots of red but looking forward to seeing how it looks before i touch my battleship
Airburshing does look very useful.
Show don’t tell, please.
Will get some proper pics for you soon
Need full painting tutorials for the ships soon
we got shaltari in a two part tutorial. not the studio scheme but the look is real nice
Can’t wait to see it done. And always am amazed by the stuff you can do with an airbrush
Will it have a “Go-Faster” strip on it as well?
looks top dollar, keep it comming guys!
I might have to try this zenith airbrushing, as I suspect it could help with my idea for a countershading camo scheme.
Okay, when in doubt: cheat
More please!
I’m surprised how good it looks just with the zenith over a basecoat. I have a really cheap and nasty airbrush i may need to dig out again
Nice one, we need more.
nice
This is similar to how I painted my Terrans for Firestorm – it gives it a really nice finish a sort of white without the washout that normally accompanies white. the red grey white combo has a very Rebel Alliance fee to it – which is what I was aiming for when I did mine….
These ships beg for color.
I’m just starting to airbrush, so thanks for that tip John.
So chaps, where the civilised talk this morning?
Need some battleships soon!
So how do you thin down the regular paints to use in an airbrush?
Ben has a body? What foul sorcery is this!
