I have received quite a few
comments about my airbrush holding style after the last Scale
Workshop video. I should point out that this is not the classic
style of holding an airbrush. I will demonstrate a few alternative

Furthermore, Testor recommends the use of ACRYL Thinner for
thinning ACRYL paints. I have also found that it effectively thins
POLLY SCALE paints. However, use of AZTEK Cleaner as a thinner is
not recommended by TESTOR.
