Paint is in.  Airbrush should be here Friday.  Pretty excited.  I spray painted the 1st swimmer. Didnt have the same luck w the 2nd.  So I figured, screw it.  Ordered some paint and airbrush.  I'll let ya's know how they turn out.

Sweet! Practice dots and lines on a piece of paper. Make a sheet full of lines all the same length in a straight line and same size. Then do dots in different sizes. Practice fading and friskets on paper too. Uboob got lots of videos on airbrushing.

Thx guys.  I just placed an order for 16 more kits, lol.  Trying to get the tail wrap correct is a bitch.  I saw someone use an Allen key in a vice, then use the as something to wrap it around.  Think I'm gonna try that before I mess up to many more.
