all look good. Now you need to start experimenting on which colors go over and under each other giving you blended and muted results and all the cool colors you can mix to get unique colors. Just remember to write down the amounts as you will find some nice color and go to do it 2 weeks later and completely forget how the hell you did it.

Professor,

thanks for the good advice once again, I'm still a little disappointed in my airbrush. I purchased just a basic badger 350 and have nothing to compare it too but I don't really like the way it always splatters. I've tried thinning and changing my psi along with several other tips I've found while searching and it just seems to do what it wants.

I will keep at, see if I find a sweet spot with it.
