Well I finally did it. After about a month of reading forums, scouring eBay for just the right project and walking through the local hobby stores I did it. I dropped a few bucks and got the basics. Some Testers paints (Just to start) different sable brushes, sand paper, glues, puddy and lastly, a Badger Air Brush.
Next I need a compressor but that shouldn't take me to long since I already bought the other stuff. Now I just need to find the time to build.
