Looking to buy first airbrush setup!

Perfect model room and Dog house for you to Get away and Get'r Done!... "Have Hobby room Will travel" ha,ha.. Perfect name too...

 Here's a tip of my hat and a Budwiser to you....Enjoy remodeling the camper trailer into a hobby room..I had a ball building my hobby room, It took me a year to convert my Bedroom...I sleep on my recliner...           "RC"

Have a couple of Bud's for me RC, since it's been years that I've wet my whistle.

The camper has been a dog house for years hehe, along with a storage room. Since Mama doesn't want to go camping in it anymore and Dad's truck would have to pull it, she said - "Get rid of it or rebuild it for whatever you want to do with it. Why not make it into your own private little workshop or hobby room?" Humm... let's see; my own bathroom with full shower, fridge, stove/oven, sink, microwave, heated, wired for TV / phone / internet, A/C, sleeps 6. To get rid of it up here I'd have to strip it down to the frame. "Ok Mama, I'll take it for my private space."

All I have to do is put a new floor in it (2 soft spots) and redesign the layout so I can have a better work bench area instead of kitchen counter.

I sleep where ever I am when my meds kick in.    LOL

Andrew. I am going to ditto what has been said about the Paasche H as a good all around choice. The best thing about it, rather than being inexpensive to buy, is that it is very easy to use and in particular to clean. I have other "high end" airbrushes but I keep going back to the H because it is so user friendly. Just my 2 cents worth.

Sorry to hear about all the medical problems RC.
My dad had a couple of disk removed from his back years ago, but refused to have it fused. He did much better than my father-in-law who had his fused, he couldn't even bent to tie his shoes.

I'm affraid but I'm falling apart quickly myself now. I started with a broken jaw as a kid in 3rd grade - did lots of modeling then. Broke my right wrist in a car accident. Busted up real bad my right shoulder in a racing accident at Lime Rock Park. Now I have a bad disk in my lower back plus arthritis around it and in my neck and bad shoulder (oh yeah, I'm right handed). I now have high blood pressure (what did the doctor call it? hypertension), high cholesterol, my right hip starts hurting on my daily 2 mile walk sometimes causing my right leg to go so numb that I've fallen and of course my screwed up head from the concussion, ulcer is back and have had a hiatal hernia for years. But I'm still kicking and giving everyone h_ll.

I'll probably gut the camper, put in a 3/4" plywood floor in the whole thing and maybe some cheap linoleum. I've done carpentry work for a few years, so I'll probably make some counters and a few cabinets. Might just remove the storage (shelving and closet) from the bathroom and put the small fridge, microwave and furnace in there instead of the kitchen area. Probably scrap the stove/oven and sink. I can get water from the sink or tub in the bathroom. That leaves me with a pretty good size area to work with and I'll put the TV on a shelf. Debating on leaving the fold-down bunk bed. When it's up it is like a cabinet, humm... I already have my chair picked out, one of my computer desk chairs. It has a vibrator and heat message feature plus it reclines nicely, just need a foot stool hehe.

While cleaning my Badger 200-20.... I lost the teflon head washer!.. $1.40..... "The Carpet monster ate it!!'.....So I ordered 4 of them and to save paying the shipping charges of $9.95... I had to buy their Badger 200NG  for $46.00..(Free delivery for over $45.00 or more on any item(s)..)..It has the Badger 155 Athem Tip, bottom feed..

 Dixieart also sells the Iwata Revolution series (fixed Nozzle) SAR "Single Action" bottom feed..Delivered price $59.97 that your wife might like, sense she don't care for the double action a/b's either..And wouldn't have to paint at "full air/paint"...It has the paint adjustment in the handle..... Great price for a Iwata Revolution.....Its order #94 R1000 it says they use standard bottle assemblies & color cups..You can check it out at   www.dixieart.com      

Thats what Santa can bring me  maybe your Lady too huh?   "RC" 

PS...My 2nd wife's Dad was Louie Meyer.. The 1st 3 time winner of the Indie 500....He owned 1/2 of Meyer & Drake Engineering.... They Owned & built the Offinhouser(Wrong spelling) racing engines till Ford took over and he sold his half of Meyer & Drake to Drake and moved to Indie to build the Fords racing engines....in 1967...Long time ago...Miss her!.. You being in the racing world too, I thought Id pass that on to you...

Gee RC, humm... it's starting to sound like you collect AB's instead of doing modeling, hehe.

Thanks for the link and info regarding the Iwata SAR at Dixie Art, I now have it bookmarked. I just received my Vega 600 single-action, bottom feed from Badgers Garage Sale - delivered for $25.00. I'll let her play around with that, if she likes it then I'll possibly get her the Iwata.

Very interesting family history, thank you for sharing. I wish my racing was a bit farther along than just small time local boys LOL. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted... expensive too.
