Airbrushing Trains Using Laquers

Cliff contributes this airbrushing train tip:

I use the airbrush a lot for my prototype lures. Being a lure designer and modeling prototypes from scratch professionally for many of the major lure manufacturers has it’s advantages. Here is a tip for your readers…I airbrush with laquers. When sprayed right, they can get almost any effect and won’t damage plastics when airbrushed light but will stick forever. The colors are limitless when you know that fingernail polishes are laquers. I mix colors to get exactly what I am looking for in nature and the same can be done with modeling the train scenes, cars, equipment, folage, etc.
