Hasn't gotten that far yet. But you airbrush it, duh.

I was damn good with an airbrush.

Holy shit. You can still buy a Badger 150. I got mine when I was ten.

I honestly have never been good enough to justify an airbrush. But I do watch YouTube tutorials. Those guys work magic.

You could get good in a couple weeks. Don't waste your time with a single action - that's most people's mistake.

I've been tempted a few times to give it a shot. Models and miniature figures gets to be an expensive hobby quick though. Fortunately I have a lot of old models in storage, so I have a ton I could practice on.

Speaking of hobbies, I haven't done any recently but decoupage is actually a load of fun. I also have about three file folders full of vintage ads too, which is a bonus. There are a bunch of duplicates so I'm keeping an eye out for people who might appreciate them so I can give them some.
