I saw it on TEMU and I'm not sure if it's worth buying.

Does anyone have it or have been able to try it?
I can't find videos on YouTube of people who name her.

The funny thing is that it only happens with this account, if I log in with my other account (Google) it shows me all the options...

I checked my account settings and I can't find where I could have touched anything that is affecting me with this limitation... Any ideas?

It happens to me in all the communities where a few days ago I could post and see everything without problems, it is something that I noticed today but recently it did not happen to me., It is not a problem with some restriction of any particular community.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I've noticed that around here most people use the airbrush to paint figures/models, it's a hobby that I was quite involved in, I liked to build cars, motorcycles, trucks, etc... Generally these come in 1:24 / 1:25 scale but the motorcycles in 1:12
There are larger scales (that one could spend centuries detailing and adding scratches) but around these parts they have ilogical prices, so...

In recent years, due to job and lack of free time, I have pretty much abandoned this hobby, but everything has been saved waiting to have time and continue with the models that I have unfinished, I have many projects started but very few finished, I always liked working on different models and practicing and learning techniques, I am not in a hurry to finish them.

Hola, la primera foto la hizo el mismo cliente que me pidió que le pinte el casco y me la compartió, yo las fotos de mis trabajos las saco en el patio (foto 2) porque la luz natural les sienta bien y como la mayoría son brillantes y reflejan, se ve todo el taller reflejado en el casco y no queda nada bien...

Quiero armarme una especie de caja de luz, o caja fotográfica para sacar las fotos dentro de casa para no depender del clima, si llueve no puedo sacar fotos hasta que pare y tengo que atrasar la entrega hasta poder sacar las fotos del trabajo terminado (Es un dolor de cabeza)

Quiero armarme esa caja de luz, con luces led fijas y usar siempre la misma iluminación, mismo fondo, mismo lugar, pero no soy fotógrafo y no tengo nada profesional, solo quiero llegar a tener fotos decentes de los trabajos terminados.

Tengo una cámara Nikon COOLPIX-L310 que según entiendo es semi-automática
que es con la que saqué la 2da foto, la que uso siempre.

Me gustaría escuchar consejos para conseguir unas buenas fotos dentro de un ambiente bastante lleno de porquerías que no se tendrían que reflejar en el casco, que luces usar (me gusta que se refleje el foco en el casco para que se note el brillo espejo de la terminación) me gustaría que el fondo se vea bastante oscuro para que resalte el casco, pero no hace falta que sea fondo negro, pienso usar de fondo una tela (roja oscura o gris oscuro).

Quedo alerta a consejos e ideas, si es necesario puedo poner fotos de la idea que tengo de la caja de luz (que no sería una caja, sino 3 paredes y un techo con leds)

Abrazos y gracias de antemano.

I gave the guitar to my 13-year-old niece, but I had it painted with skulls and engines, so I had to change the decoration so she could take it to music school.

At that time I didn't have a cutting plotter yet, I made the masks by cutting them by hand with vinyl transfer paper, you can see that the edges are somewhat irregular but it matched the style.

The bad thing is that I finished it with wood lacquer and over the years it has now yellowed, it is not a big problem but if I had done it today I would have lacquered it with polyurethane and it would still be white, haha.

Hugs!

The best material I have found so far is acetate (x-ray plate)
To remove the ink from the x-ray, it is only necessary to immerse it in bleach/chlorine (diluted 50/50 with water) in a tray so large that the plate is completely submerged.
Let it sit until the next day and then rub with a sponge or cloth to completely remove the pigment, rinse with water and that's it.

Print the pattern of the template at the desired size, then glue it to the acetate plate with white water-based glue (the one that children use at school). This glue comes off very easily from the plate so you can remove it after cutting the design with scissors or a cutter.

The edges are not going to be perfectly smooth and rounded, so you have to sand them to smooth them (it is quite uncomfortable because the acetate is soft and bends, but with patience they look fine)

The design of the stains/holes/grunge is more complicated because it cannot be cut with scissors or a cutter. What I did was use a mini drill (Dremel type) with a very fine cylindrical filing tip. It is a job that takes time, but in the end it is the one I use the most.

I tried other materials but since I work with thinner paints, they didn't give me good results, This is the case of the white ones seen in the photo, they are made of another type of acetate and the thinner deteriorates them, x-ray acetate holds up a lot and can even be cleaned.

I added the images of the patterns that I use, but there are many on the internet.

There is always some x-ray hanging around...
A relative or friend, neighbor...
It's not that difficult to get one.

I hope it helps someone and sorry for my bad English.
Hugs!

Well, I liked this thing about sharing my paintings.
With this post I summarize...

I made this HJC for a friend
next I posted some photos of other jobs.

I made some of them as friendly gifts,
others for some beers
and I gave others a price...
Whatever the deal, I always enjoy doing this.

I painted these 2 helmets a while ago
The first is a Bell Sport 3, for an acquaintance who races karting.
The second (the black) is a Peels, for my nephew.
(Don't ask me why, but he wanted it black instead of dark blue)

I hope you like them...

Hugs.

Hello, I am satisfied with my work but I would like to improve.
Especially in the handling of the airbrush
but also in the drawing technique.
I have been painting helmets for a while as a job.
I would like you to see and criticize my airbrushes
and recommendations of what I should do to improve.
I know that the ideal would be to go to a teacher,
but this type of work is not based so much on airbrushed drawing,
but more than anything on lines and colors.

I know first-hand that advice and criticism from colleagues
are usually essential to improve, that's why I'm here...

The sizes of drawings that are not helmets
They are side covers of PC cases.

I would greatly appreciate a painful review.
Hugs from South America.

Sorry for my bad English...

Hi, I wanted to share an AGV helmet that I painted for a friend.
I haven't finished painting mine yet, but when I finish it I will post some photos.
In this case we did it with a matte finish, mine will be glossy polished.
I used masking and liner tapes, plotted vinyl for logos
basecoat and Polyurethane clear coat.

I have already painted some helmets for friends and family, also some on request.
airbrushing and painting is a passion that has accompanied me all my life
(and I am already 50 years old, hehe)

I have an '81 Kawasaki 400 that I have been customizing for several years.
one day I will post photos.

Big hugs and greetings from South America.
Sry for bad english.
