I have noticed a preponderance of airbrush question coming up on the forums. Both as side topics and as threads into them selves. What I propose with this thread is for all of <US> current airbrush users and abusers, show off your rigs. Even if it duplicates something already posted. Give us a blurb on what each tool in your arsenal does and does not do for you. In short share your opinion, I for one am NO expert, I struggle along like everyone else learning as I go. Anyway I'll start off:
First, when I first decided that I needed a airbrush, I went to the library and the book store and bought some books (this was LONG (early to mid '80) before this new fangled intrawebs thing came about). Anyway, do some research, on the web, in the stores, at schools, in magazines and books, Find out what your your needs are and buy a tool that suits those needs.
I then found out HOW MUCH a airbrush costs then coupled with the cost of a compressor or lugging around a spare tire (WTH) I but the dream aside until I got a job. More on this in a moment.
Now I seem on my way to a collection of airbrushes, In a moment I am going to give a blurb on each one and cover air sources and other things in my "box" That is one of my suggestions to anyone, get a tackle box JUST for airbrushing "stuff"
