I finally decided to get out the air compressor and top loading spray brush to base coat my mountain for the waterfall feature. Unfortunately I find that the air flows through, but no paint. Looks like I didn't clean it as well as I thought. A bit annoyed, I remembered I had my old spray gun from Games Workshop. I abandoned this a long time ago as I had to mix a large bottle of paint for this to work effectively. However for this job, it seemed the right tool for the job. Not only did I get through two bottles of mixed grey paint, holding the trigger for extended period was far easier. It almost seems like this job needed some brute force that the top loading spray brush couldn't provide. |
