I saw a commercial for a product called Luminess Air on TV. It's a way for women to apply makeup with an air brush! Yep, weathering for ladies! Looks like a single action gun with a standard compressor! You can even get an upgrade to a double action sprayer. Just be sure you don't leave any oil-based Floquil paint in her kit if you borrow it! :tb-biggrin:
Yikes! Vanity.... It does sound like something a clever model railroader would adapt for use... Boxcab E50
Dave - saying that before Valentines day is just plain bad karma. Neat idea Tony but proceed with caution. Leaving it filled with black paint could be hazardus to your health.
I really feel sorry for all of the women that fall for this flaky idea. So just how are they supposed to do this... by themselves... without blasting the stuff into their eyes, noses, hair and mouth. Obviously... the model shown on the website must not have done her own make-up... more than likely done by a make-up artist. Of course... if the husband or boyfriend who are model railroaders get one for her... and it doesn't work... no great loss. Another inexpensive airbrush in the toolkit for weathering cars or structures.
It's much simpler if your Spousal Unit is an artist who had her own air brush, which, BTW, she taught me how to use.....:tb-cool:
Air brushing for the living impaired. Tony and all tuned in, During my last years as a mort...performing restorative work on the living impaired, We used a type of cosmetic air brushing system. The system utilizes the same skills and equipment we use while air brushing our model rail equipment. All you need to do is hook up your spray gun and your in business. Many of the cosmeticians in Hollywood use the same system to cover up birth marks, blemishes and unhealthy tissue. A real time saver. When I think of the times I would bring something home from the LHS. I couldn't get anything past my wife. My body language gave me away. Now, I have to get it past my cats. And, they don't seem to mind. Oh good, something else to knock off the layout. Have fun! .
Hmmm... Need a will that specifies aluminum and Aspen Gold makeup. Now, to face eternity in three stripes or a single stripe?
Just to funny! LOL LOL LOL LOL Gosh! We can fix you up anyway you want. You really can have it your way. For myself, I prefer three stripes across my chest and Santa Fe war paint on my face. Got to have fun...eh? .
LMAO! This is FUNNY! I've known two "hand models." They have perfect hands for ads. After makeup, the hands are misted with a light coat of baby oil. Applied with a small airbrush. We had a Hollywood make-up artist do the make-up for one of our daughter's wedding. He was a friend of a friend. Yes, he used an airbrush!
How about this classic method for getting the airbrush past the wife. This is for if you are caught. 1. Admit nothing - "What new airbrush?" 2. Deny everything - "There's no new airbrush!' 3. Demand proof - "You can't prove I bought a new airbrush!" 4. Make counter-accusations - 'I think you bought that airbrush! You'd better give it to me."
You bought a multi step live steam kit for long green , and you are concerned about a paint squirter price with your squeeze ?
We had to put her down last month. She was old, and I wanted to do it before Valentine's Day to save money. Besides, the price of the steamer was going up next month, and I had to move fast. (Just kidding, I'm not married. Just offering advice to those who have a crimp in their operating plan. :tb-biggrin
always buy two ! if you get caught with a new airbrush give it to your better half and promise to return it. now just keep the second one. if you're not caught then you have a spare airbrush.
If you want another excuse you could always spray on her bathing suit like the ones in the SI Swim suit issue this month....
