These are three video's with some steps and tips in airbrushing. This is an experiment to try and get my technique organised for airbrushing large 6mm armies quickly.

Video Two (A chat about the result of the airbrushing): YouTube link

Video Three (Using an AK Interactive Filter): YouTube link

Wow! I never thought about airbrushing 6mm Epic figures. I will be honest though, it could not really see a result between the three colors in the first video. Still have to watch the last two.

The gradual "gradient" is more apparent when I show them close up. I think you could get away with just one colour! But it was satisfying having a nice dark colour on the legs.

You definitely need to watch all three video as the last two show the gradients much better.

Interesting technique the larger figures, like tanks, dreadnoughts, and fliers. Thanks for doing the videos.

I'd like to see some well lit photos of the finished product. The filter looked really really heavy in the videos.
