P_Budzik got a reaction from Salty Sea Dog in Tips and Tricks for Airbrushing May 24, 2015

Since you are thinking of pinning this topic, these links might be helpful.

With larger models like ships, I really recommend using a large airbrush or a miniature spray gun. You will find that the better atomization will return a much smoother and finer surface finish, especially for primers. These two videos help explain...

This will help to understand air pressure and setup...

This one helps explain what airbrushes work best for specific applications..

I also have a webpage devoted to airbrushes with some additonal information...

David...

I know cost seems to be a limiter for a lot of guys, but it is a choice. I've been addicted to airbrushes for nearly 50 years and I have to admit I own more than I can count. I show a fraction of what I use in my construction articles and on my airbrush web page here ...

http://paulbudzik.com/tools-techniques/Airbrushing/airbrushing_for_modelers.html

I will be adding to it from time to time, but I think it gives you plenty of information for selecting the right airbrush for the right job. There is also some interesting historical information that will explain how some of these airbrushes are of really limited use for modelers. To date, I've never found a universal airbrush that will do everything.

Scan your document at the highest optical res that your scanner will do. Take it into Photoshop and bump your levels up so you get a nice contrast. Might hit it with a pass of Unsharp Mask. Size your document in inches/mm but keep your pixel count up. Select the white area and then go to Select - Modify - Expand and put in 1px , delete the selected area and see what it looks like. You might have to play around with the resolution and expand number, but it should thin the lines out for you.

Not sure it this helps, but I used to do my own photoetching with supplies used for making pc boards. Here is a link to an old article, on the technique, that I did for FineScale Modeler Magazine
