I just ordered, last week, a Iwata High Performance HP-C Plus. They gave me free shipping so the brush only cost about 152.00. I am now about to order the Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Solo Airbrush. I can get it for 108.00 with free shipping. Also, the shipping was fast since I am east coast and they are Chicago. Check them out and you can use the code ‘Ganesh’ until Tuesday for another 12% off.
BTW…I am in no way associated with these guys. Just letting everyone know, if you are shopping for a brush this is the time to get one.
Thanks for the tip on a deal! In these times its always wise to stretch your dollar…now if only I could have merchandise shipped north without being dinged at customs.[^o)]
I got the H&S Evolution Silverline Solo for only a few dollars more (from Chicago Airbrush Supply). The difference is the pre-set handle which H&S calls the “quick fix adjustable paint control”.
Yeah, I got my Grex from Chicago Airbrush. I was happy with the price and delivery. ArtSupply is about the same price but with the 12% off makes it cheaper as well as free shipping.
Funny thing is, I think Chicago Airbrush and ArtSupply are affiliated. Why one would under cut the other I have no idea. I just enjoy the savings.
I can’t wait to dive in with the Iwata and I am hoping that clean up is easy. If not, then it will make sense to have the Grex and Harder on hand. I see the EVO from Harder, that you are talking about. Very nice brush. does the “quick fix” work pretty well and do you find it useful?
I got the H&S when Chicago Airbrush had the 10% off plus free shipping. Yes, it would be even better with 12%. Both have the discount most of the time. You just have to watch out.
The pre-set handle is something that is nice to have, but not a necessity. I can get one for my Iwata HP-CS for about $20, but never did. I just cannot say “no” when the Silverline difference is so small. Yes, it works as designed, say, drawing fine lines. No, I have not found much use of it in modeling yet.
