In her office, the missus is feeling the cold as temperatures plummet 10°C |
Why would such cool pleasant weather be a detriment to my hobby activities? Well for one, humidity levels remained high (up to 89% at times) even as temperatures drop. And I became aware of an issue some hobbyists were having when air brushing in cool and humid weather namely increased rate of water accumulation in the air compressor tank. Water vapour mixed with paint is never a good thing. This has scared a noob like me, enough from testing out my new air brush compressor.
Even my 'spray priming' goggles are fogging up quickly due to the cold and humid weather |
In fact, the air conditioning in my room has started to leak as water vapour condenses more readily in the cold thus reinforcing my reluctance to start air brushing any time soon. That, of course, is not a good excuse for the 'hobby inertia'. Most of my projects still require the good old-fashioned hand brush painting techniques. And if push comes to shove I could 'easily' just focus on non-paint work like assembling. So hopefully I can get something done before week is over as I come to terms with wet and cold conditions in a tropical environment ... messed up global climate indeed.
You have to paint a little traditionally with a brushes, there is no other option :)
ReplyDeleteYes you are right. Luckily I have my Suicide Squad Katana project as that involves traditional hand-brushing only. :)
DeleteIndeed enjoy the cooler climes and get some brushes on the go :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, it's nice to have cooler climes ... while it lasts :)
DeleteOh , I didn't realise those weather conditions could be such a mess! Ooops, I hope it all comes back to normal soon enough!
ReplyDeleteIn fact it has hence the resumption of my blogging soon! :)
