Thank you so much Tim, its all about finding a way of holding them and finding a steady hand position and controling your breathing - I find the more I do of them the better they become - Oh and decent magnification with optovisors is really important.

Old Collingwood Posted October 18, 2021 Author #1583 Posted October 18, 2021 Oh just an add on - My airbrush would not work to start with tonight - its was blowing bubbles - so I stripped it down and found the needle had some stuck on primer and was not pulling back when I pressed the lever, so I cleaned it with some fluid on some cloth - reassembled it and it worked like a charm. Have to keep these things so clean especially with that primer. OC.
