BigGrin Another thing to check is that the water trap is empty as any excess water here can also be sucked up to cause the splater. Some people also add an inline water trap aswell to be doubly sure of preventing this. They screw into the top of the hose then into the airbrush. loads here on Flee-bay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sc...?_nkw=inline+water+trap

Hope this is of help

Hi Andy BigGrin .
I have checked that but its only with the matt varnish it happens to and only when it has dried Confused .
This is the compressor I have http://www.ebay.co.uk/it...tion-Tank-/131241996292
Thanks for the advise Andy and best regards.

It has a water trap already, nice set up. I would try thinning it down, I usually try for the consistency of skimmed milk.BigGrin

Hi Nem BigGrin .
Thanks for the advice.
Would that be something like 60% paint to 40% thinner ? also thank you for your kind words about my setup.
Best regards.

Yes that sounds about right, but you can always adjust it to suit your set up. Try a test piece first.BigGrin

Hi Everyone BigGrin .
Here is my next instalment of my D51 Build.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Deagostini and Modelspace on this fantastic partwork which is so easy and user friendly.
I really hope they do some more partworks like this.
As usual any comments good or bad or any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards all.
Mark

Once you have the base built you really start to appreciate not only how big this train is, but how well designed it is.

great job mark

Hi All BigGrin
The last picture is how I could have the battery box but I am going to put it outside the base so it is easier to change the batteries rather than to have to lift the heavy weight up and risk damaging the D51.
Best regards all.

I'm far from that point in my build, but I was already thinking about it. Wouldn't it work to cut the part of the side panel of the base (on the far side, so the cut is out of sight) - the way the battery box can be easily slid into and out of the base?

Hi Michu BigGrin
I think that that is a good idea Cool that could work quiet well but for now I will keep as is.
Best regards.
