Kitbuilders Magazine is proud to announce the return of Kitbuilders University at KB’s Monstrous Weekend. What is Kitbuilders University you may ask? This intuitive classroom lecture was designed to teach the finest in airbrush art directed specifically at the figure modeler. Does that mean it’s solely aimed at figure modelers? No! Anyone that wants to add a whole new dimension to their artwork can learn from this class. We just happen to love figure kits. This, quite simply, is a “hands on” workshop to help students see and perform actual “hands on” painting techniques. There will be several of us airbrush junkies circling to help work out with any equipment malfunctions such as paint clogs, water spills, pizza stains and such. Over the years of teaching various classes I learned the best way to conduct a lecture or demonstration is through “hands on” training. This ultimate creative workshop not only communicates fun instructional technique but it’s an environment that supplies the student with the various tools that this hobby demands. This allows the student to absorb as much painting techniques as possible using state of the art materials. When the day is over all the materials used by the student are theirs to put in a box and take home. These specific tools of the trade will be theirs to enjoy for years to come. The one thing that seemed to bog down the process was the cost. The tools add up to a pretty hefty bill. Now keeping in mind, if I was to attend this class, I would want to keep the tools rather than have to run around and purchase them after the show. Now, how do I make this all possible? The key: Sponsors. Many phone conversations have passed and many deals have been made. Actually, a soul or two have probably been traded in the process. Here, in our opinion is the best possible deal we can make. Keep in mind, lunch will be on us! This will keep all students in the arena and keep their minds on the task at hand: Learning!

for the price. This was a big contention and I feel that we have
indeed whipped up the best deal possible. You still get to keep
it all for only $350.00!! Everything that you use, you keep! After
it was all totaled up, (trust me, the sponsors let me know), it
totaled just over $1400.00! I know this is a substantial amount
and times are hard enough but trust me folks, this is a deal you
just can’t pass up. Heck, don’t want the airbrush or
compressor? Sell them on E-Bay or to one of your buddies for $100-$200
and get your admission price back in full! They total over $900.00
alone! We have set up payment options for this class that will secure your place in this historic event! The
