As always Lee, fantastic job.  Alas, it is a shame that we will only have 13 more days left to enjoy such things.

Yet another epic paintup from you i sure hope i can paint up as good as this when the time comes 
also quick question when ppl are putting that pros aide on are they doing all the paint job in 1 day 
or do ppl do abit at a time when applying the pros aide?

Can't wait to see it Lee. On average, how long does it take you to finish a P1?

Sorry i for the slow reply Ninja. Prosaide is good as long as it is sticky, i RARELY do more than 2 prosaide layers in a paint up.

Brian, I rarely do a paint up in a day, as well, i do not like rushing, if you rush you WILL make mistakes, and i see plenty of paint ups where people brag about a paint up being done in a few hours, and frankly it shows, MASSIVE spider runs, soft random spots, lack of depth etc.

and as i am no pro , i try to eliminate that as much as possible.which means giving myself time to let my trigger finger recover.

IF i am on my days off,  3 or 4 days is fine and i will paint a mask in that time easily, if i am working i give myself 7 days.

 

[wonko]

I know what you mean about the trigger finger.  I've noticed that after about an hour or so I need to give it a break, because it seems to become "heavy" (the spiders take over lol) and I lose control.  I've also discovered that if I'm not "feeling it", I tend to do shoddy work.  I haven't done allot of airbrushing, but enough to figure out that slow and steady is the key for me.  Thanks for the reply Lee, and once again, fantastic job on this guy!

Lee, I love your feedback on all the questions. It definitely helps those of us trying to learn and improve to have someone with your level of experience and expertise who is willing to take the time to answer questions. As always, outstanding work on this.

Again i have to despell some idea that i am any sort of "DUDE" with a airbrush or sculpts etc, but i am no better than anyone else.

Now thats out of the way, i am ALWAYS happy to help, and to re-itterate something i have said on and off over the years, this is NO black art, we are all here to bounce ideas/techniques/thinking off each other, and i will happily show anyone how I do things, and those who do not or seem to think they are above it are dicks, and not very big ones at that.

thanks for the feedbac again guys, i am learning all the time.

 

[seahunterr]

Lee, you ARE the dude, for helping others and being the humble dude you are.
( and you surf too, bra!)

 

[Philby]

awesome work once again lee,......the dude abides
