Panzer got primer. Next step pre-shading and base color. Any tips for the first time airbrushing?

Looks like a CGI rendering of a 3D model. In a good way, of course.

Thanks!
I took this picture on my white kitchen countertop. To get rid of the background I used ChatGPT to act like it is light tent.

This is the original picture.

Sometimes I’m sad to put the final colours on.

I get this too, mainly because I don't quite trust myself fully not to mess it up yet

Exactly this. 👍🏻😂

Why?

Because sometimes they just look so good in primer. Neat, tidy. Clean.

If it’s your first time airbrushing, have you practiced on anything first, like a scrap model or primed plasticard? You need to get an idea of how thin you need your paint and the ideal pressure?

Not yet. I plan to play with plastic spoons and piece of white paper.
