Dust

[Babelfish]

So .... you've kept your primed figure in a box and in a drawer. You've cleaned your brush in lovely clean water, and you've put your paint onto a nice clean pallet.

And as if by magic, as soon as you start putting brush to resin (or metal as the case may be), through your optivisor you see tiny specks of dust start appearing on your figure under the paint.

Doesn't happen every time. But when it does (like today), it is a serious pain in the arse.

How to remedy (or at least mitigate) this problem?? Or better still, prevent it in the first place?!

Need to get a housekeeper Steve....LOL

Seriously the only time I get this problem is either during priming or if I use a new brush and forget to wash it out to get rid of the remnants from production. I keep all my WIP figures once I start painting under cut down Plastic bottles to keep the dust off.

Steve,

Before I start to apply paint, I’ll take my airbrush with the paint cup empty, then turn up the air pressure & blast the figure or other model for about 5 minutes to remove any final dust particles. Hope this helps........

Hi Steve

Been there !!! ....airbrush is probably the best thing ..I use aircan with a long tube ....also got a very useful makeup blusher brush which I try and use carefully over figures completed or otherwise

Happy dusting

when priming flat surfaces, I will always get tiny particles of dust embedded into the paint... a real pain to remove !
after a painting session, I usually put my project into a cabinet. It helps but it is not perfect

Oh I'm quite a fan of that colour of blusher you're using Nap....is it sunset pink?
