Because I am a Copycat... Free Airbrush!
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, August 13, 2004 8:43 AM
Hey All,

I was inspired by 1337 to dig through all of my stuff and find my old airbrushing equipment. Pictured below is what I came up with. It may not be the best, but it is something. There's an Aztek airbrush set with a bunch of nozzles and bottles AND a testors compressor. It can be all yours if you need one. All of it works fine, but may need a little clean up.



Just like Ryan (1337), I'd like to give it to someone who really needs it. Last time the group seemed to sort out who was the most in need, so hopefully that's the way it will happen again. I'll mail it out next week to whoever it's going to go to.

~ Regards
~ Garth

HEY,
Im sure people are gonna say the same kinda stuff, but i am only 16, and school is starting soon so all my money has to go towards that, clothes and such, plus lunch everyday once i do start. Right now im stuck using rattle cans to paint my cars, and although they come out ok, i am only able to use the colors i can find in rattle cans, which isnt much when your onnly resource is wal-mart.

Hey Guys,

Sorry it took me so long to get back. My girlfriend took my on a little weekend trip for my birthday.

It looks like Randy is the proud new owner of the airbrush and compressor! Randy, email me your address and I'll mail it out in the next day or two.

Yes! I need it most. I am a 12 year-old poor suburban kid who has to collect aluminum cans just to get enough money to buy food. Disapprove [V]
I sit out in traffic with a sign saying, "Will work for Badger airbrushes" and it has served me well so far as I have 9 of them. Clown [:o)] Tongue [:P] Wink [;)]

hmmm... you use a spray can... would an Aztek interest you? 4 air tips... 1 medium coverage, 2 general detail (both same exact tip, one may or may not work) one fine line. double action, siphon feed...

you were the second one to ante up in the give away... I kept quiet until I could find all the pieces... it also has an adapter for a compressor if you come across one... not in the greatest aesthetic shape but it works.. I am working on getting some blockage out of the spray bottle cap tonight in case you want it. If I can't get it out, I can get ya another cap this weekend...

the price??? you have to post something you paint with it!!!!!

Email me if interested...

P.S. sorry Mike I was going to send it to you until I found out you were panhandling for airbrushes down on the corner... that's illegal here...

oh yeah one nice thing about the Aztek... the bottle caps mate up perfect to the MM line of paints... if you can get them there... I sprayed acryls straight from the bottle most times, enamels I only had to thin a few... but it was a nicer cleanup that way.

you can go to www.usps.com and find it... it varies per pound but they have an online calculator for you. At the top of the page when ya get there choose "Calculate postage" then choose international shipping, then choose Singapore and the wieght... a few more steps and it will tell ya...

For a one pound box it is about 12.50, for 7 pounds 24.50 etc... depends on the weight...

SO.... Mr. Reg_the_ruler!!! I better get my 12.50 worth of shipping in your pics of your models painted!!! haha kidding, enjoy!!! It's not the best but it'll do ya a lot better than the spray thingy you have now!! now ya need to re-read those masking threads! and the cleaning threads you've seen in the last few days... dont worry too much about cleaning the tip, after you spray some thinner or such through there take the nozzle off and submerse it in thinner along with the siphon... let em soak overnight and rinse em in the morning! it's fairly easy to clean...
