Air brush recommendations - manrogue - 09-09-2013 So i dusted off my old Airbrush yesterday with the intention of starting to paint some of my bigger models with it. Unfortunately i haven't touched it in 10 years or so and it is not in a usable state. Which brings me to my question, can anyone recommend a decent airbrush and compressor? Does anyone at the club use one? I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but would like a decent quality one.

I think Big Rob uses one? RE: Air brush recommendations - manrogue - 09-09-2013 I was actually looking at an auction of his last night! Cheers for the link Stu, will have a glance at his store/website. RE: Air brush recommendations - Gareth - 09-09-2013 Indeed Stu, I keep poking Andy in a non-sexual fashion (often whilst calling him names,) about Rodge making a visit. RE: Air brush recommendations - manrogue - 09-09-2013 Well i am currently watching a starter set on Auction that he is doing that is £65 on his site and is currently going for £35ish all in. If i can get it for £45 total i will purchase. RE: Air brush recommendations - GoNecrons - 09-09-2013 If the kit is a compressor and an airbrush that does seem good value but you do usally get what you pay for. Avoid anything that uses cans of air and get a compressor. Preferably with a tank too. I bought three airbrushes before I settled the one I use now. I did loads of reviews and it is great for modeling. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003EJYY38/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You do need gravity feed for painting models as it lets you reduce the pressure alot to get good detail. My aircompressor was about £50 but I did not get a tank on it so I get less consistant pressure out of it. It does the job though. Money no object go Iwata for the airbrush and compressor. That's what the pro painters use at GW. I asked them :O) RE: Air brush recommendations - manrogue - 09-09-2013 Yeah i just want one to play with, if i get on well with it i will upgrade in the future. The one i am watching is this one Rob- http://www.airbrushsupplyonline.com/complete-kits/mini-diaphragm-air-compressor-and-airbrush-starter-kit RE: Air brush recommendations - Gareth - 09-09-2013 (09-09-2013, 04:25 PM)GoNecrons Wrote: Money no object go Iwata for the airbrush and compressor.

Fair enough their better than me, but light years beyond some people I know. At least in their professional works. RE: Air brush recommendations - manrogue - 09-09-2013 Well just managed to win this one for £50 (or something similar)- http://www.airbrushsupplyonline.com/complete-kits/high-detail-gravity-feed-d-a-airbrush-kit So my hobby budget is gone for a while but should be worth it!
