Picking up from the last video, we now get into the actual paint model trains, showing how to apply paint both with an airbrush and by hand in both acrylics and oils, as well as some drybrushing. I show how this comes together in a model-painting style called “Colour Modulation”, demonstrated on three Husky Well Stack cars. This also sets up a good foundation for applying decals, as well as going on to weathering model trains.

Stynylrez Primers:
As an airbrush primer, these are my new favourite. I like how they go on, how they hug the detail, and how they do stick well to the surface. My only caution is to let the primer cure fully before you apply any sort of masking tape:

This isn’t a primer, but there are Hull Red style primers out there.
Grex Genesis XGi3 Airbrush Starter Set g
(Dual-action Gravity Feed airbrush, compressor, braided 6ft hose, and a getting started DVD)
This is an updated version of the combo set that I started with. The advantage of this newer version is that if you wanted to swap out needle sizes, it can be done with upgrade kits, and it comes with different sizes of paint cups. It comes with a 0.3mm needle as standard. This also comes with the same compressor that you saw in the video. I’ve been very happy with my setup. It has done everything I’ve asked it to. Fittings on this airbrush and hose are ⅛” which are compatible with Iwata hoses.
