The Airbrush Company presents a one-day class; Modeller's Beginning Airbrushing, with tutor Jason Lake (ex LSA Models).
The airbrush skills taught on this class can be applied to all genres of modelling.
This course is ideal for any model painter who wants to get started in airbrushing, or anyone who has problems getting started with their airbrush. Learn how to achieve the perfect finish on your models with an airbrush. The training room is fully equipped with the highest quality equipment available on the market - Iwata airbrushes and compressors.
This course leads into Jason’s Modeller's Airbrushing Camouflage Course (Step 2) - which is based around water-based paints, using mainly LifeColor. Jason then continues with his Modeller’s Weathering Course (Step 3) - where he teaches various techniques by using airbrushes, powders, oils and more.
Steps 1-2-3 of the Modeller's Airbrushing courses can be booked together as a three-day class TC-JL3 and you will save £20 for attending the classes consecutively.
