Here we go...
For a person who has been doing this on and off for almost 40 years, I have to be honest. I’ve never thought of myself as a teacher before. If you’re sitting beside me I could show you the basics on how to paint, etc. It seems at train shows, I’m often asked questions about my preferences for paint or my techniques for weathering, among other things. So maybe it’s time to begin a new chapter in my business. I recently made the decision to pursue this full time, so I’m looking forward to sharing what I know in order to encourage and promote this hobby we all are so passionate about, and hopefully even help it continue for the next generation coming along behind us.
So, just for fun, let’s throw out the question: What do you want to know? What interests you in the realm of painting? I promise from my end, I will do everything I can to present the issue in an informative and easily understood manner that makes you think, oh yeah, that’s how that works. Maybe we can even do this interactively. That would be fun. What do you think? Give me some feedback, and let’s step into the paint booth, grab an airbrush, and see what we can do.
Congratulations on your new venture. I think there is a great need for someone who can help us new to the hobby. I' will soon be in the need of someone who can give advise, answer questions, come and help with various issues including wiring. I have in progress a 7x16 ft. table in Standard guage I'm willing to work out some compensation but I'd rely on you to decide what your charges are. I live off I 45 about 8 miles west. I'm aware you indicated your speciality is painting but it wasn't clear to my used brain if you'd concider other talents. I think what I'm looking to do is roughly duplicate an layout I saw on Yout…
