 I recommend nail polish remover.  that makes short work of ANY kind of paint, and it WILL clean your airbrush parts.    alcohol works to, but it takes longer, and I'm impatient.   since your airbrush is made of metal, we don't have to worry about it damaging parts, so its OK to use a stronger chemical.

Hey

Is your layout finished and do you operate yours with like car cards or a switch list and is this your first layout because your diorama pixs were really nice, better then some of the ones in mr.Smile,Wink, & Grin

What kind of airbrush do you use because I would like to get one but have no idea what brands are good or what I even need.

 You need to use the thinner and a toothbrush and clean the entire airbrush with that... Water wont work when cleaning up after enamels.

 

gotcha, thanks man!

 It's good to soak an aibrush in an alcohol bath every few months, and use a toothbrush to remove all paint you can. What model master did you use? Acryl or Enamel?

 

Enamel thinned w/ testors thinner. It's a Badger model 250, and the paint nozzle is clogged; at least I think it is, ain't tried it but noticed that it had some paint dried over the top. I was like what the heck b/c I thought it was clean.

Sawyer, the diorama is lookin good!

 

thanks Joe! 

GG, looking forward to that WRS loco though.

 I'm hopefully going to pick up some more wire soon for the layout. Also, the scratch build of the furniture factory may start soon.

I think my airbrush is clogged though; cleaned it after that model master paint like I clean it for polly scale; guess it didn't get all the paint though. My b-day is in 22 days though, I think I might ask for a better airbrush then. But I've got some ideas to unclog my current one.
