How much do you paint?

I was curious, how much of the model do you paint by brush, and how much is sprayed?

Whats parts to you brush, and what parts do you spray?

sounds strange, but it depends what season it is! I find i can get a pretty good finish on most parts of a model with a brush, but obviosly i spray bodyshells. My airbrush and compressor are in the loft, where i built a booth with a big extracter fan, and a big desk to work on- so i spray as much as i can, probly around 80% of the model depends what it is. But it gets really hot up there in the summer so i bring my modelling stuff downstairs and work on the table in the back room, with the back door open if its hot. But i cant really bring the airbrush down . . . so i just use spray cans in the back garden, using a big cardboard box as a spray booth.
Stop laughing! its nice in the garden with the birds and stuff

I find that most of the model can be brush painted with no problems, even the large surfaces. To brush large areas like the chassis, I use enamel instead of the usual acrylic because it evens out better. But the body definately needs to be spray painted. So for me about 99% brush painting and 1% spray painting.
