Title: Airbrushing
Post by: GrahamB on December 06, 2013, 10:06:20 AM
At last night's local club meeting we had a demonstration of airbrush weathering and I got to have a go at two of my wagons. I'll try to post pictures later but I'm now very tempted to rush out and by an airbrush setup. Last night I used Badger airbrushes.

What do other people use? Are there any deals out there?

Personally, I have an Aztec and like it.

Before anyone starts screaming - it's a proper one, not a Testors screw-up ;)

But there are a number of decent ones out there, such as Iwata.  Badger is OK to play with, IMHO, but not for proper usage (unless things have improved since I last looked in despair at them).

As I now have a decent compressor I picked up @ Warley (it's quiet, has a tank, water trap, etc - and under £100  :thumbsup:), I'm aiming to get better with mine :)

Quite a few of us have bought this kit  (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Airbrush-Compressor-Double-Action-Airbrushes/dp/B004XP7K9W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386325591&sr=8-1&keywords=airbrush+kits) - including me.  The basis for the recommendation being that it is almost as expensive to buy the compressor on it's own.

I started this thread (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=15028.msg149090#msg149090) to show my progress. Have not done much railway stuff recently but hope to pick it up again after Christmas

I knew there had to be a thread somewhere.
