What airbrush are you using?
I've wondered about using one myself but not sure where to start. Oops sorry for the slow reply, have been distracted by a different project (too many kickstarters all arrived at once) I'm using a double action gravity feed airbrush. Not sure on brand it was a $20 one that they bundle with compressors, so nothing too fancy but I like how easy it is to clean and generally it gets the job done well enough. I also have a much more expensive airbrush I bought years ago which is more an artists brush which does very fine spray but it's a bit limited when using paint instead of ink.

It looks like he's suing a inking pen made by micron. Available at Hobby lobby and Micheals for different sizes.

  Similar to the way I painted Roxxor and the troll I painted black around the sprayed areas being the orange glow and the purple crystals after doing a purple wash over the crystals then picking them out with white mixed into purple to edge and highlight facets of the crystals

Great paintjob! I think pushing your shadows could make them pop a little more, but maybe it's because of the picture.
Can we also have a picture of your SODA vending machine ? I love it ! :p

Awesome work. I love the paintjobs on your minis. The extra work on wolf and rider looks splendid. I also love the vending machine. It is a nice touch and I may have to make one also.

Looking great! I am seriously envious of your ability with the air brush. I just can not stop mine clogging.

If your airbrush is clogging too easily than your paint mixture is too thick. Try mixing a batch in a bottle, shake the closed bottle and when all the contents are thoroughly mixed, take a clean Popsicle stick and stir it in there. pull the stick out, if you get 2-3 nice drips off the end before holding to the stick, it should run fine through an airbrush.
more than likely in a thick mix, you will get only one drip (maybe another), in a thin mix, you'll get 4+.
