NEW AIRBRUSH COURSES FOR 2020
In partnership with The Airbrush Company, we've just announced some dates for my airbrushing and weathering courses, to be hosted in Lancing, West Sussex, UK in October 2020.
October 20th: 'Airbrushing for Railway Modellers'
This is an introduction to the art of airbrushing, covering all the basics of how the tools work, how to operate them and how to mix/thin your paint correctly. In addition to the vital theoretical content, there will be plenty of practical work involved, with a range of top quality Iwata airbrushes and equipment for attendees to use.

October 21st: 'Weathering Techniques for Model Railway Rolling Stock'
Here, I'll share my methods for creating lifelike finishes on a range of passenger and freight vehicles, using an airbrush and manually-applied techniques. Anything from dusty cement hoppers, oily tankers to rusty mineral wagons will be covered, along with special strategies for steam- and diesel-era coaching stock. There will be a mix of demonstrations and ample opportunity for practical work, with a host of materials and tools available for use.

October 22nd: 'Weathering Techniques for Model Railway Locomotives'
Here, steam and diesel traction is considered, exploring a range of practical approaches. The creation of grimy, textured coatings and the realisation of a forlorn, end-of-steam appearance will be demonstrated, along with hints for capturing the distinctive polished-yet-grubby look of more cared-for steam engines.

Other methods relevant to diesel and electric traction are also covered, including the creation of faded/worn liveries and leaking fuel/oil. Airbrush and hand-applied methods are considered, along with a wide variety of materials, plenty of which will be available for students to try for themselves.
