Before soaking in cellulose thinners I remove the complete air- valve (below the body). The teflon bearings in the body are no problem, thinner doesn't affect them at all. I've learned that you can press out the teflon needle bearing and get that bit cleaned up too. I used to put a finger on the nozzle when cleaning up, causing blowback, which I thought was a good way of getting everything clean, but I've stopped, because I think it forces paint into the needle bearing, which just means I have to clean that more often. I hate cleaning too, so I put off cleaning till the air-brush is completely clogged up and won't work at all. I've found that removing the needle and wiping it after every session seems to delay the inevetible a little longer. /Neil ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 07:18:27 -0400 From: Larry Marshall To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: tress, diet and aging/ was: WWI digest 4696 Message-ID: <200210170718.27523.larrym@sympatico.ca> > 1.

It has...there still aren't any British NBA players :-) Michael, the slave trade to North America is the best example of genetic selection in human history. In spite of this, there are short black people in North America who eat too much :-) Height is a quantitative genetic trait, meaning that many genes are determining it and generally that the distribution of the trait is close to a normal distribution because of this. For what it's worth, I live in a place where the average stature is below the average in North America and yet they eat pretty much the same diet as anyone living on the continent. Their roots are French but after 250 years of separation from France they still reflect their lower than average stature. That's not to say that they don't have some people who are very tall but not many of them. I don't want to take this very far here as it's quickly becoming off topic. -- Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 08:23:00 -0300 From: "Diego Fernetti" To: Subject: Re: Pictures of Navarre's Nieuport Message-ID: <025c01c275cf$8de0df80$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Excellent work, Ray The paint scheme is beautiful.

Several radiators, sometimes with the guns shooting through the radiator, sometimes from the side of the fuselage. -- Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 13:42:29 +0200 From: Crawford Neil To: "'wwi@wwi-models.org'" Subject: RE: FW: Aztek brushes Message-ID: Dunno, I've never tried one.

I haven't seen the violence :-) It's certainly the case that they need a redesign on their handle as the balance of the gun is very bad. I'm like Pedro, though. I don't like cleaning airbrushes (causes me to use them less) and I don't think 'clean it once a year' works very well if you're spraying acrylics, at least not in my experience. I spray on my kitchen table so I have nothing set up. Even so, I'll regularly do 10 minute paint sessions with my Aztec a I paint a couple parts. There's no way I could do that with any other airbrush as most of that 10 minutes is spent hauling compressor, brush, paint and parts to the table, covering the table with paper and mixing the paint. Cleaning would extend these sessions by a considerable margin but with the Aztec that time requirement drops to maybe a minute. Truth is, all these airbrushes work really well. If I had to give up my Aztec, however, I'd pick up my Paasche before I'd use the Badger brushes again. -- Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 07:27:09 -0500 From: "Stuart L.

You know, always looking for a better tool for the hobby table, and maybe I'm just not getting it, but I use a Paasche single action (H possibly?) with the '1' tip. I purchased this brush about 15 years ago. I haven't had to replace a single part yet, and all I do for cleanup is run two or three paint cups full of thinner through the brush after each color run (ethyl alcohol for acrylics, mineral spirits for enamels, water for future). I know I don't tear it apart and clean it more than once a year, and this takes about 15 minutes for a thorough cleaning. I haven't done "spaghetti camo" on any subjects yet, so am I missing something? It seems to work fine, and only clogs when I do something stupid, like try to use very old paint. Stuart L.

Why everything! While Larry did have some bad luck with decals, the kit insists upon being dropped multitudinous times and once it had the temerity to have a shelf fall on it. Then it deliberately shed its part of its paint job - maybe it has some reptilian blood or it's part crab.

I think you have to take into account the type of paint you'll be using and your level of ability. Some of these fancier airbrushes like the Thayer & Chandler and the Iwata have great potential but it takes a fair amount of skill and practice to realise that potential. Also, acrylics tend to clog any airbrush more quickly than enamels because enamels dry slower and sort of "clean" the mechanism as you spray it. This clogging is exacerbated when the airbrush contains a larger number of small parts in the mechanism, though if you're spraying inks, this is less of an issue and, I believe, a lot of these airbrushes were designed with inks in mind. After suffering with acrylics and a T&C Omni 5000 for 4 years, I went and bought a single action external mix Paasche H and it is a great improvement. You have the tip and a cone into which it fits - and that's it, plus the colour cup. It sprays smooth and regular and when it clogs you can open the cone a bit or simply dab a cotton bud in whatever thinner you used and clear the end of the tip with it Maybe an Aztec is better, i don't know.

I've had the Badger for 30 years without any problems, so I've never really tried anything else.

I haven't done "spaghetti > camo" on any subjects yet, so am I missing something? It seems to work I don't think so. My belief (and this is more a matter of "do as I say, not as I do" thing is that a good external mix brush is THE way to go for most modelers. The internal mix does seem to improve atomization some and maybe it gives you better control over the amount of paint but they are much harder to deal with when it comes to keeping them from being clogged up, especially with acrylics. The Aztec brushes let you have internal mix without the cleaning struggle, that's all. Why? Because you just unscrew the nozzle and that's the entire airbrush. The handle/control is just going along for the ride and doesn't have paint flowing through it. Thus, if you think about being able to drop your nozzle, needle and all the hardware that orients them into a pill bottle full of solvent, where it can sit until the next time you use it, you can envision the Aztec difference. The bottom line is that all of the brushes being discussed are good. There are no right answers. What is the case is that for most of us, our tools are not the things limiting the results so understanding and using your brush, whatever it is, is more important than what brush you use. > fine, and only clogs when I do something stupid, like try to use very old > paint. One fun thing that can happen with an Aztec brush that doesn't happen with any other that I've used is for the user to fill a paint cup and press the button and only then realizing that he forgot to put the nozzle in. Don't ask how I know this but I do know that the results can be replicated :-) -- Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 14:09:49 +0100 From: "Pedro N.

Well this isn't a big deal on the Badger either, it takes me about a minute to take it apart, and a minute to put it back together. I do this about once a year, rest of the time I don't need to put the head into a jar of thinner or anything, just a spray through with thinner. I remember why I'm a bit doubtful about Aztecs, my friend of the 200 F4 models sold his very quickly, and he usually knows what he's doing. /Neil C. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 08:29:42 -0500 (CDT) From: tbittners@sprintmail.com To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Toko Aviatik Message-ID: <200210171329.g9HDTgD71885@king1.kingsnake.com> On 10-17-2002 06:39 am, Larry wrote: > This is a tough one, Matt as the nose seemed to vary from plane to plane, > especially as they sorted out the number of guns and their placement. > Several radiators, sometimes with the guns shooting through the radiator, > sometimes from the side of the fuselage. Yes, I do know about the different noses - look at all the versions Choroszy has come out with - but the version Toko was going for, the shape of the nose seems wrong, looking at photos. If memory serves () the problem lies in the slope of the nose, going from behind the prop to the cockpit. Then again, I haven't looked at it in awhile, so I'm not sure what I'm talking about. :-) But still, compare it to photos and I think you'll see what I mean. Sure wish the two-year announced JaPo book on the type would finally come out!

The brushes were designed with inks and watercolors in mind. With these mediums, you will see very different results with the fine, medium and large tip/needle arrangements. When some brilliant gent (or lady) discovered that you could thin the paint we use and spray them through an airbrush, the world was open to fantastic new finishes on models. The only problem is that with the paints we use, there is almost no difference between the spray pattern when using a fine tip vs a large tip. I stopped trying to figure all this out many years ago, and have used a med tip/needle since. Some of the new acrylics are getting some very fine pigments, but they are still a bit thick to see much difference. Think about the difference in consistency between water and milk (where our paint should be when spraying) and you will see the difference between ink and paint.

Hah! I get this too. In reference to my wooden sailing ships Tina suggested I try planking the fence. She also inquired why I wasn't as anal about the bathroom remodeling as I am about my aircraft modeling. Funny, I never noticed her wit when we were dating... Later!

Other than the well-worn moans about disassembling the nozzles, in reality, not much. HOWEVER; I come from an age when properly machined metal equalled quality, and I somehow cannot take an ultra lightweight plastic implement too seriously. Seems to work OK, but a bit spongy in the double-action mode, prefer my Badger Crescendo, total easy stripdown, made of real metal! There, I sound like my Grandad..........
