I'm retiring some Badger airbrushes, free of charge.

Hello again Patrick.

   Well, I got it!  The Airbrush looks brand new.  Thank You.  I picked up some canned air to give it a try. 

Saving up for a compressor now.  So, what's a good compressor? Any features that I should look for?

 Sincerely, Thank You. You saved me the time and research, to find one and the headache of buying a poor one- not to forget the COST!

  Please keep in touch here on the forums and PM's. Email me if you every get bored- or no reason at all.

  Let me know if YOU need Anything.

           Jim.

P.S. Once I get supplies of Paint/Thinner/and Air you will be on my list for an attachment or two of my initial airbrush skill.

P.P.S.   Thanks Again, and be on the lookout for something in the mail.  I will PM you some details.

Oh ;

   An aside . Did you know that it builds into a gorgeous Late Thirties , Motor Yacht ? It  ,like the Lindberg Air Force rescue boat can be modified into some amazing crafts ! I once did one as a Coast Guard Cutter as well . That was Before I found the Lindberg Coast Guard Cutter !

 I didn't plan on high-jacking this thread .These boats are large enough to air-brush beautifully . 

Gotcha !

Patrick, you can give the one for me to the gentleman with the 9 Year old.

Patrick, if you have any left I'll take one for our up and coming modeler at the club.

 

I'm so glad your transplant went so perfectly and that you feel so good.

I would like to take a moment to recognize your generosity. Your offer is a very genuine way to help those getting started in the hobby, and I commend you.

Mike, you could not have said it better. I agree completely. Patrick, good on you!

Thanks, Bruce. All four went to the folks I intended them to, especially a young guy in a club that doesn't have one. These last three make a total of 12 given away over a few years, makes me pleased to think they will help someone along.

Wife is really happy to finally see some stuff going out for a change, instead of coming in.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for replying. I knew I was a little late to the party. All good. Maybe "Santa" will get him an inexpensive A/B for Christmas.

I appreciate the response.

Good Morning,

 

What a generous offer. I'm sure you've been bombarded but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring.

I have a 9 year old son who has started out in the hobby. He is quite good at it and had graduated from brush painting to supervisd rattle can painting. I'd love to get him an airbrush for the near future. 

Only issue is I live in Canada. :-( Please advise if you have any left and if we could possibly come to a mutually beneficial arrangement re: shipping.

Thanks,

Greg

 

 

 

 

Hi, Greg - I wish I could help your boy with an airbrush, but this project took off with a life of it's own and within very little time these four were taken by others. Sorry but they are all now claimed. But I wish you good luck in equipping him in the future.

Hi, Jim - I'll be glad to send you one, you'll find this much better than "canned paint." Please shoot me a PM and an address, one will be on it's way.

Patrick

 Thank You Patrick,

I will resend an address by PM.

And don't forget, this works both ways... if you need anything, you now know where to find me.

             Jim.

Patrick, if you have any left I'll take one for our up and coming modeler at the club.

Everything he brings in is brush painted so I would say no.

"Jim,

 Do you havre a LIfelike , Renwal Submarine Chaser Kit ? I am looking for one for a friend here . T.B."

TB,

I suspect you mean the Glencoe 1/74 Sub-Chaser model.

If so, they are still being sold.

Try    https://www.squadron.com/1-74-Glencoe-Models-World-War-I-Sub-Chaser-p/gm09305.htm

However, If you mean something else, post a picture and I will go thru the stash.

Hit me with a PM or Email about the Glencoe Sub Chaser kit. I bet I can help you out.

Patrick,

  This is a most gererous offer.  I am an admitted  rattle can user.  The Airbrush has always seemd a desire too far.   If you have any left looking for a good home, I wish to put myself on the list. My posting of my own models here has been minimal; more due to lack of confidence in painting but I do help where I can with input and research. Perhaps a "push" with your generosity will finally un-rattle me.

     As a consideration for your gifts to the members here, let me know what aircraft you are missing.  I have some 1/72 jets in my attic , unbuilt, and they may stay that way as my interest is currently "Floaty Things".

     No matter the air brush result,  my offer to add to your 140 member stash is here for your consideration.

   Thanks. 

        Sincerly,

              Jim (Nino)

 

PM on the way with 1/72 kit details.

 

Jim ;

 Do you havre a LIfelike , Renwal Submarine Chaser Kit ? I am looking for one for a friend here . T.B.

Patrick ;

 The New Braunfels Railroad Museum could use a New or Re-Conditioned one . Please let me know in messages . Vice President of Modeling . I salute your generosity .These will build better modelers . Good on you !

Steve, many modelers start out with a single action suction feed, I did and that's all I used for several years. Once familiar and proficient with a Badger 200, some mighty nice work can be acheived. If a gravity feed airbrush is considered a 10, the 200 can surely be considered an 8.

One advantage for the 200 is the simplicity and ruggedness, same goes for the Paasche H. If you learn that the young guy in your club needs an airbrush, I consider this to be an ideal way to get started. Let me know what you find out, I'll reserve one for you in the meantime.

I'm also hoping when other older guys like me realize the road ahead isn't all that long anymore, they'll gift equipment no longer needed or used. I don't want my wife to be stuck with thousands of $$$ in hobby gear and not know what to do with it, I think that's the way for too much stuff to end up on the Bay or Craig's list.

When I'm done, I intend to leave my sweet, patient wife with only an empty Tamiya extra thin and an old worn out #11 blade to deal with. She'll know what to do with that.

Thanks all, for trying to help find this equipment a new home.

Patrick

I'm intrested in one if it is gravity feed.

I know of a young fella at our club that doesn't have one, at least as far as I know.

 

 

 

 

 

I know exactly who you’re talking about!  What a great idea. 

 

 

 

 

Do you know if he has one? if not, this would be great gravity or not.

 

Patrick>  That is indeed a very generous offer you've made.  I hope some find good use for your gift.

I also am without an airbrush, but the cost of a compressor to go with it is keeping me from acquiring one.  No complaints, though.  If you ever find something that will file and sand, let me know!

Thank you, Mike.

I appreciate your comment, I'll be very glad to think that some folks might well find these old Badgers a good start at improving their  involvement in this hobby, especially youngsters.

Hi, Prowler, PM me and I'll get an address to send you one. You can decide which, after I inform you of the differences between the models. Happy to help someone with a good airbrush gift, I hope yor illness is getting better.

Patrick

HI very interested in one of them, your choice. My airbrush has seen better days and with 3 hospitalizations for heart issues in a year and 4 major car repairs we are trying to get out from under it, hobby funds are non exhistant.

Hi, the 200's are suction fed, less convenient then gravity. If you'll check with the fellow you mentioned in your club to see if he has one, let me know.
