Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

well, I got a great deal on a compressor the other day (a small central pneumatic) and today I picked up the fittings and water trap today. just need to get a extension at work tommorrow to be able to set the water trap up properly, and then I’lll be ready to go. after a few (lousy) tries with air cans., I am very excited to try my airbrush now!!!

A compressor makes all the difference in the world compared to propellant cans. No more weird pressure changes because the cans get cold, no more worrying about running out. You’ll love it.

Right on! Have fun with the new setup Chris!

I expect you’ll have moments of frustration and greatness. Can’t wait to see some results.

WOOHOO!!!

pressure and no leaks

I’ll have to have a go at one of my older kits now!!!

unfortunately I am a bit occupied with grad this weekend and it will have to be next week before I try the airbrush…

That’s great Chris! I remember that feeling and it wasn’t too long ago. Man, I hated those cans.[xx(]

Yeah, the cans suck. I remember putting them in a pan of hot water to improve the performance. The compressor is so much better and to think I had reservations about parting with the cash.

I didn’t have reservations about the cash, I more or less was worried about size without paying big bucks for a genuine airbrush compressor.

Hey Chris, Sorry to go off topic here but didn’t I see a pic of you shooting an AR-15 ?

11

you have more disipline than i do chris. i’d say to heck with grad and let it rip for about 30 minutes at least!!![:-,][:-,][:-,]

I think your talking about one of the guys from calgary, there woody. if its the same pic it was a ak-47.

I could find time, but my room will be occupied by my grandparents this weekend…

That compressor should be quiet. It wouldn’t bother them much [:)]. I’m with Saltydog, I’d have to blow some paint!

Yup, hooking a compressor to the airbrush is almost like haveing an entirely different brush. Glad you finally got a compressor Chris.
