Well as well as getting better results on my other Land Raider, my next try with the Citadel Spray Gun on the Land Raider Mark IIb was also more successful.

Now that’s better…
In a previous post I talked about the problems I had had with the Citadel Spray Gun in undercoating a Land Raider.
You can see in this close-up how the thinned paint ran from the flat surface. Was not at all impressed.
So I tried again and got a much better result as you can see from the following photographs. Nice smooth finish.
Though this is a Grey Knights Land Raider, I decided early on with this force that the majority of the armoured vehicles would be a sandy desert colour. I used Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre as the basecoat.

Other things that went wrong…
As well as having problems airbrushing my Land Raider, I had similar issues with my MKIIb Land Raider.
And my Inquisitor Repressor.
Sometimes you get it wrong…
I had started to paint the basecoat of my Grey Knights Land Raider using a normal brush. I decided that I would try using Citadel’s spray gun to base coat the rest of the Land Raider. However due to thinning the paint too much I didn’t get the result I hoped for. As you can see it didn’t work out too well.
From this angle it looks better, but’s that only because this was the area I had originally done part of the basecoat of by brush.

Think it’s time to get a proper airbrush with a proper compressor. However give the GW Spray Gun its due, it got me thinking about airbrushing over just brush painting.
