Thankful in the beginning of my airbrushing days that a badger 200 was my second hand purchase for 25 dollars ...The first was badger150 and was definitely a no for me!!! That single action done me good and helped me understand airbrushing better. Great review, Mark! Have a great weekend!
Hi Mark. Very informative video. Is there a big difference in performance between a basic duel-action gravity fed airbrush and a trigger style airbrush? Thanks.
That's awesome! I agree those dual actions can be really tricky in the beginning, but we all eventually build up that muscle memory. Love the badger 200! Hope all is well, JC. Thanks so much and have a great weekend as well.
@@markwakeley3835 Thanks Mark! The trigger style airbrushes are just as good, it's just a difference in the trigger design and placement. I have a few other trigger airbrushes that I just love. They spray amazing and just as well as any of my traditional dual action models.
I learned these basics long ago yet I find myself attentively watching your videos! They're so well made and are perfect for the new gen of artist just picking up the airbrush! How I wish I had your videos when I first started! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
haha- Well, thank you so very much! It's actually fun for me to make them as well. Just cool getting to talk with everyone about airbrushes and hear other opinions as well. Really appreciate it!
I was a demonstrator for Paasche airbrush company for several years. The Model H was basically a mini spray gun when it first came to market in the (not sure as I'm so damn old) 1920's ... the idea was an easy airbrush to refinish items like chair, and trying to sell to the female market. It also sold well for the ceramics ... these days for temporary tattoos. I also knew during the 1970's two custom car painters "Mad Ivan" (no joke that's his name-in Canada and "Gemini School of Fine Art" owner -Donald- in Michigan) Both were award winning mural winners doing custom Vans. Don used two hands, while Ivan worked with one hand using his middle finger spinning the fluid nozzle while pushing the trigger with his pointer finger. He did have large hands, but but both did good work. Sata came out with a "progressive action" model where you pull the trigger back and as the needle went back the airflow increased. One of the best airbrush artist I met in Australia in 1979 is the best one I have ever seen ... as a teacher I would have him do the odd demonstration, and he is now 93 years old, and told me he bought the Sata in 1957.... still has it, working, plus I gave him a SP-35 (Sparmax) for Christmas and some years ago a German EFBE 0.15 mm dual action. Great post mate ... I hope all is well with you...
Ken that is awesome! The model H def feels like a spray gun, especially when the nozzle is fully open. It can put out a ton of paint. Thanks for reminding me about sata because that's a brand I need to add to the channel. I've always wanted to check out their airbrushes because I own a few of their pneumatic tools that I really enjoy using.
Hi Mark ive got the pasche single action and use it for larger areas and the creos ps 290 trigger action which i love ,sent to me from someone you know , JC from Georgia hes a regular on this channel, Thanks for explaining to people the differences between the two 😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Mark! So single action never have tip drying problem? My first brush was a cheap single action with a compress air can for model kit when I was a young boy. Thrown away when the air can finished. 😂
They still have tip drying issues but there are less places for things to go wrong on them. You don’t have to worry back wash of paint or worrying about paint in your trigger. All problems for them can be summed up as a clog at the tip. They are great for priming and are very easy to clean afterwards. Which means I don’t have that gunk in my good brush.
Hey Timothy- oh yeah, single action airbrushes have plenty of tip dry problems too! I probably should've mentioned that in the video, but I use a soft toothbrush to keep them clean. those old compressed air cans were fun but man they used up quickly!!
After seeing your reviews using the air speed measuring device, I always wonder what airspeed is like on siphon feed models. Having the increased psi to get proper venturi and atomisation, does the speed at the nozel come back down to gravity feed levels? Might be worth testing for those painting hard surfaces where blowback might be a problem and reason to choose one over the other.
That's a great idea. I might have to start measuring them again for future videos. I haven't measured the model H but it puts out A LOT of air! Almost like a mini spray gun when the nozzle is fully open at a higher PSI. Very cool airbrush though.
Nice video, really useful explanation for the beginner. However I always learn something from your thoughtful, calming videos too, every day being a school day (of course, just as it should be) ✌️👍😊💜💜 I've an old warhorse of a Paasche H, I've still got a Millennium too. Looking forward to your thoughts/review on the new 2024 H&S Infinity in due course✌️😊💜😊
thanks so very much Muso!! That model H sure is a legend isn't it. I love the design as well and it's been around for like 100 years which is crazy. And yes I cannot wait to start working with the 2024 infinity. Still waiting for it to ship out! Thanks again and be well my friend.
@@theartworkshop You're always welcome, credit where credit it due. Keep em coming 👍😊 I'm sure you'll enjoy the new Infinity and do wonderful work too - I'm excited for you👍💜😊
I love the creos ps-711. Honestly it's one of my favorite detail airbrushes that I own. Incredible value for money and can easily go head to head with any of my microns.
One thing I've never been clear on is the air pressure. The moment I press down on the trigger, the pressure drops by about 5psi. Is the stated pressure before or after pressing the trigger?
Yes, that is correct. You'll see the psi drop when you press down on the airbrush trigger. That is what I am referring to when I say 25 psi. The gauge reads 25 psi when I'm spraying (the working pressure) and will jump up to about 30 psi as soon as I stop spraying. I explained it better in this video- ruclips.net/video/HEuSDsD8Cc8/видео.html
2:04 -> "if you want complete control over your airbrush, that's when a double action model come in...". So not true. Try Iwata Revolution M1! It is an internal mix single action and it is a joy to use. The screw on the back pretty much does what your trigger do on a double action airbrush and it is adjustable. It saves you the effort of pulling the trigger back and holding it. Airbrushing cannot be easier. You should give it a try.
Yes, they are excellent little airbrushes. I own two revolution hp-m1s and a creos sq (very similar model). The thing is you need a second hand roatinging the knob to adjust the flow of paint, making relatively simple things like basic dagger stokes very difficult to achieve. I'm a big fan of those internal mix single action airbrushes though- they spray beautifully!
