A new toy to try

No, just greedy. You're obviously obsessively compulsive when it comes to airbrushes and need help.

I will PM you my snail mail address and take one or six off your hands, just to help you out. You know, 'cause I'm a nice guy and not because I'm also obsessively compulsive when it comes to airbrushes!

NO! Take off you hoser! They are all MINE, MINE, MINE!!!!!

I suspected your answer would be along those lines, its a sign of the depths of your disorder.

Daffy was a nice touch, though!

As a long time member of AA, that's Airbrushers Anonymous, I understand your pain Mike, however we all know that coming to terms with denial of your problem is the first step.

The second step is obviously to share your ABs with those who have helped you thus far in your struggle.

Does owning 15 airbrushes make me a "hoarder?"

Glad you liked the Daffy pic. He cracks me up.

Haha! Hardly!

Mike, you are officially banned from starting any more whimsical threads in O&E until you at least fire up that Renagade that I know you have had forever. I have seen your work in the past and know what you are capable of. Back to the Bench bro...

Regards,

Jeff

Thank You for the kind words my friend and the push to get my butt back to the bench.

The biggest reason I have not been building lately is the hours at work. Working graveyard shift four days a week and then whatever hours they give me the rest of the week screws up my sleep and any drive to build. Hopefully soon there will be some normal hours to my schedule.

I too would love to hear your review on both air brushes, but I also understand the effects of working the graveyard shift (been there...done that).  It's a tough shift to work and try to balance family life.  Good luck & I hope your work life returns to the 'norm' soon.

I hear yeah Mike. I get up at 0430 and don't get home until around 12 hours later so I am pretty burnt out by the end of the day. Add in a wife, a couple of kids and all that goes along with it, my time at the bench during the week is kinda limited. Try just doing a sub-assembly here and there when you get a chance. Maybe get the 'fuse and/or wings attached the next time you get a chance at the bench. The next day you can do a little putty and sanding. You know the drill...

One thing I have realized since coming back to the hobby a few years ago is that, for me anyway, it's more a "marathon" than a "sprint".

Regards,

Jeff

Mike, PM inbound!

Thanks Bob and Jeff.
