The compressor is a little loud and might occasionally put a little water in your line, but that's what happens with a sub $100 setup. The airbrushes are Chinese made and fairly low quality, but you can get a ton of use out of them before they crap out. And when they do, you can replace them quickly and cheaply. In the meantime, you'll learn a lot about what you like/dislike.<br />You can absolutely work with this rig and upgrade parts one at a time as your experience and budget improve.

On...Dude this is a very nice article for beginners. Only one thing though. Never ever ever use the brushes to clean the airbrush. PERIOD. It actually voids the warranty. The interior of the airbrush is micro-shaped and even the smallest blemish/scratch can ruin it. The brushes are a trick to get more money out of you for a product that you don't need and shouldn't use. To clean clogs just shoot cleaner through the airbrush. If you never let paint dry inside you will never even have to dis-assemble the brush let alone destroy it with the brush. Check out this video on Wargamer's Consortium<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsW-vN0_lHw&list=TLYUbQYBtBusxMFiMLXzWVsDa8gaXum_FI<br /><br />It is very long but it is the gospel truth about airbrushing, by the owner of Badger, a man who makes some of the finest airbrushes out there. Anyway that's just the input of somebody who has been airbrushing for a very long time and has destroyed a fair amount of paintguns....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559382002724473603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241207031380192212.post-49465414548974072332013-10-11T14:42:54.246-07:002013-10-11T14:42:54.246-07:00Oh!

This allows you to use small amounts of paint appropriate for miniatures painting.<br /><br />Your friend probably has an airbrush with a large glass container connected to the bottom of the brush. This is called a siphon feed brush, and isn't really appropriate for miniatures painting because you have to use a large quantity of paint to make it feed properly.tripwirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828785486922819238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241207031380192212.post-13895359171058734042013-10-11T04:34:04.058-07:002013-10-11T04:34:04.058-07:00My friend's airbrush has a pot to hold his pai...My friend's airbrush has a pot to hold his paint.
