Ive been scale modeling on and off for years..but I've always run into something that forced me to put a hold on the hobby.. school, work..etc.. well like 3 years ago I got a great deal on a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC.. and had to stop modeling for a few reasons..one being.. its hard to airbrush in a 1 bedroom place..
Well anyway.. I've finally come to the realization that I want back in.. I love WW2 armor to much to miss out.. And I want to one day create awesome dioramas and models like I see here and in magazines..
OK. So let me explain. Ive browsed some sites and I think I can get away with airbrushing if I can get a good spray booth..but all of them cost hundreds of dollars..so my only option is to build one..which might be the best way to go considering my brother owns a construction company and may have the stuff I need..
Next.. Airbrush and compressor.. I dont want to go super expensive.but i dont want to go cheapo either..Ive heard Badger and Paschae make great airbrushes, but that was years ago..any new models they have that are good and inexpensive?
2. The dreaded compressor.. This is what bothers me the most.. I need something quiet...because I live in an apartment.. not a house. =( But I also need something that will let me adjust and control airflow.. Anything around these days that I may want?
Those 3 things are pretty much what I have to solve to get back into the game.. Im going to transform my kitchen into my work area since I dont use it much.. well maybe the fridge and microwave...
Most of the tools I have are still useful so Im going to start putting them together and cleaning them up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if I can get my problems solved.. Someday I'll post a picture of my first project...
