air-brush

Hi,

Just so you have something to compare to, every model in my webshots albums were painted with a cheap single action Badger Airbrush. I've never mastered the double action yet, and I've given up trying.

I have a Badger 360 air brush which I like and also an Iwata Eclipse. A company called Dixie Art has very good prices on air brushes (www.dixieart.com). A dual action brush will give you more control over what and how you paint. It alllows control of the air and the amount of paint being used.

 I use a badger 200 single action. After using a paasche VL for 12 years, I prefer the s/a as you don"t have to worry about finesse with the trigger. I also use a compressor with a holding tank and regulator. I set the brush to how I want,t Then the compressor pressure i want, then airbrush merrily away.

I've got a Badger 350 single action airbrush that I've used for 25 years - I figure I've gotten my money's worth out of it.  ;)

I've got both medium and fine nozzles for it, but very seldom use the fine nozzle except for free-handing feathered camoflage schemes.

I strip it and thoroughly clean it every time I use it, which I think has helped it to last as long as it has. 

I recently bought a Badger 150 dual action airbrush, but am still learning how to use it.
