As far as airbrush use, you have the basics, so just load up some paint, take a junker or even some sheet stock and practice getting the right pressure to pull back on the trigger to get the lines you want. |

For that matter, you can also decant some Krylon paint you get at Wal-Mart in the same section as the paint thinner and have fun with that also. If you decide to spray with MM acrylics, as I do so I can stay indoors for the most part, I have found that the generic Wal-Mart regular fingernail polish remover is an excellent air-brush cleaner, since it's main ingrediant is acetone, and it also has glycerine imxed in a water-based solution that keeps the brushes O-rings from drying or swelling as alcohol will. Also, it leaves an odor that is not objectional to other family members. Tom
