                        Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who's got this picture of Private Pyle and "Charlene" in his mind while cleaning my airbrush... Smile [:)] Or maybe I should I worry about this...?

                        ok, so i'm fairly new in coming back to the modelling world but i've really learn't alot(from places like this)in a relativly short space of time.

                        i got an airbrush and compresser starter set but i wasn't happy with the airbrush,yeah i know these things are fairly cheap but i needed to "get my foot in the door"....

                        well today i got and used my first decent airbrush, a Badger - Thayer & Chandler Vega, what a differance! all the small problems i had with the cheapo brush were gone straight away,this is by no means a top of the range model but its way better than the other one.

                        That is a good airbrush.

                        I painted all of these years back with one of the original Vega 2000's when Thayer & Chandler were still in business:

                        As they say..."You get what you pay for." Now spend some time practicing with it. Tear it down and become familar with it inside and out. Learn to clean like your life depends on it. Think of it as your rifle...This is my rifle...
