The Airbrush Company presents a one-day class; Modeller's Airbrushing and Weathering, with tutor Jason Lake (ex LSA Models).
Learn a variety of weathering techniques to take your models to the next level. The airbrush skills taught on this class can be applied to all genres of modelling. The training room is fully equipped with the highest quality equipment available on the market - Iwata airbrushes and compressors.
We recommend you already have experience with the basic control of an airbrush, or have attended Jason's
Modeller's Beginning Airbrushing Course (Step 1).
This course leads on from Jason’s Modeller’s Airbrushing Camouflage Course (Step 2) - which is based around water-based paints, using mainly LifeColor.
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.
