GOOD IDEA ! ... Smile [:)]

I agree ... a seperate airbrush forum would be useful. I hope it is something that can be done soon. Wink [;)]

I think there is enough intrest/equipment: Badger, Aztek, Paasche, Richpen, Iwata, etc. (thats just some brushes-not compressors, regulaters, water traps/dessicants,) for a seperate forum.

Yeah, there is a load more airbrush questions popping up in the "Techniques" forum, what I notice is that they seem to be quickly burying the non airbrush related issues.

ALL techniques are important and should get their fair time before they get relegated to page two or three.

Airbrushing NEEDS its own forum desperately and soon before modelers who have other technique issues start to think their questions take a back seat to airbrushes.

I see the occaisional airbrush question coming up in other forums and plain old technique questions surfacing in other forums as well.

Airbrushing is obviously enough of an enigma to enough modelers that it should have its own spot.

I hope the powers that be will share that sentiment and accomodate another spliting of one forum into two.

Is it just me or have there been more airbrush questions showing up on the board lately? It seems to me that there does seem to be enough interest in this specific topic to warrant separating it out on its own.

Just thought I'd bring up the topic again and see if there was any more feedback.

Thanks for the backup guys.

I've left quite a few internet forums because no one would streamline the subject matter in them and finding what you wanted became more trouble than it was worth, I'd hate to see that happen here

That's an excellent idea, upnorth. I am poised to enter the world of airbrushing myself and am finding a lot of these postings very informative.

This is just a thought that struck me as I was going throught the Techniques forum.

It seems to me that a lot of the postings there recently are to do with aspects of airbrushing, largely the "Which one should I purchase and why?" sort of question.

There is , to my mind, enough postings about airbrushes and airbrushing to fairly constitiute a new forum subject, sort of in the same way you separated helicopters out of the Aircraft forum.

When it comes to techniques, I like to see more about working with aftermarket materials like resin and photoetch as they are something of an enigma to those uninitiated in using them.

Traditional brush painting techniques , such as washes and drybrushing certainly have their place in the Techniques forum, but airbrushing can be worlds apart from traditional painting techniques.

Theres obviously enough questions about airbrushing to take the lion's share of an existing forum, perhaps its time to give the airbrush its own space.

Just a thought, hope its a good one.
