You like these ones?

Things I learned from this one:

1)Probably need a little nicer airbrush.

2)Getting certain paints just the right thickness to spray well can be a challenge.

3)Base color makes a huge difference.

4)I need my matte clear to show up

5)Frog arms should probably be held on a wire or something. You can’t really clip them because you’ll hide part of the stem that’s visible.

Try a sticking a toothpick in that little hole on the top of the earstem, then clip the toothpick into your stand.

Yea I was thinking something like that. I might 3D print something that represents the tab on the frame that it could clip on

I used to use a paasche with a .5 needle. Now I’m onto a badger 175 so I can use a wider range.

I keep hearing your paints should be the consistency of nonfat milk.

What do you mean about your matte clear?
