May go dark for a little while
Cheers Richard. I too have moderate to severe RA, it’s a horrible condition, so she has my sympathy. In my case I think the hip was congenital as my mother had her right hip done at about the same age. As to the RA, following a complete failure of treatment with adalimumab I have been put...- Tim Marlow

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
AI (so take this with a pinch of salt) says the plastic is ABS, rather than Styrene. Plastruct girders and sections are made from the same stuff.- Tim Marlow

Compressor leak.
Yep, it’s the black triangle with the hole in it. Got mine from Amazon I think. I’ve had it quite a while now. I think I had to buy the fittings separately, but I honestly can’t remember.- Tim Marlow

Which airbrush would you buy?
I usually lubricate the needle (rather than the o rings) after every clean, and occasionally lubricate the trigger slide.- Tim Marlow

For info, Media superlube (the Iwatta one) lasts an age. 2ml lasts me about five years.- Tim Marlow

Compressor leak.
For you John This is the second PRV John. Hose to the left is the air feed from the compressor. Far easier to adjust air pressure here than on the floor……- Tim Marlow

Which airbrush would you buy?
I must admit I don’t bother, and it’s a bit late to start now. If it gets too bad I just spray with Windex window cleaner and wipe it off. Most of the overspray comes off like that. Probably no more that once a year though.- Tim Marlow

Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
When you factor in the time needed to fit the filter into the housing, it’s probably not that dear, and I’m sure you’d rather be making models than fitting fabric into a frame anyway Jim 😄- Tim Marlow

Which airbrush would you buy?
Must be solid metal then, not plated. Someone on here had their airbrush finish left dull where it was immersed. I’ve personally seen an US bath strip the anodised finish from an item. Ultrasonic cleaning is actually quite aggressive and can be destructive to the wrong item. Worth reading up...- Tim Marlow

If you’ve got a plated, rather than solid, brush that will rip the coating off in no time Paul.- Tim Marlow

Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
Completely true Jim. If you remove the air to the outside, the fumes go with it. Good point to go with it….do you need the expensive particulate filter if you do this? A cheap filter roll could be cut to size and do the same job. After all, if you vent outside, the filter is really only...- Tim Marlow

Compressor leak.
Just for those that don’t know Jim, MAC valves control airflow, not pressure. However, as I said right at the start, we all do this differently, and what works for us, works for us 😄.- Tim Marlow

Nuther noob air brush question (2)....
Wow, that’s pricey. The cheap blue ones only collect particles, not vapours, anyway, and are just layers of filter matrix. They do not remove anything else. In my opinion the cheap booths just collect overspray, and I’m happy with that. To collect fumes you would need a booth with an...- Tim Marlow

Compressor leak.
I’ll take some pictures later to show you what I mean soon John. It’s quite simple though. The PRV on the compressor is set to 40. There is a hose from that PRV to the second PRV, which is mounted on the airbrush stand. That second PRV is used to adjust user pressure, and the outlet from...- Tim Marlow

Compressor leak.
I actually run mine with two pressure reducing valves. One on the compressor , set to 40psi, and a second one up on the airbrush stand, which I adjust as required. This completely eliminates any tendency for the airflow to pulse. Also eliminates the need to dive under the desk to adjust the...- Tim Marlow

GOODBYE
Chris, I think you are confused. Richard was on here at two o’clock so I don’t think he is leaving. He just said he drifted away for a while looking for inspiration. I might be wrong, but that’s what his last message said.- Tim Marlow
