Starting airbrushing. Please help!!!

[royalecheez]

So I've been painting a lot recently. my skills with a brush have come a very, very long way compared to even just a year ago. Now I'm looking to expand a little and would love to try air brushing. Seems like a much faster and more efficient way to paint models and get some very cool effects that would be difficult with a brush.

My question is this. What would be a good airbrush and compressor to start with? Also what are any tips you would give someone with absolutely no expirience airbrushing. Seriously I have no idea where to start. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money as I'm not sure if I will like it compared to painting with a brush. Maybe like 100-150 max.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

My wonderful wife got me this start up kit for my birthday.

From what I've found the brand is essentially discount Badger brand. I've had good success so far with learning. The only downside is all the needles in the brushes are .3mm which isn't ideal for detail or wide spraying for tanks and MCs... Very good to learn the basics with though!

Great thanks!! I'm looking at starting up some harlequins. It seems like airbrushing is really only good for larger models. Probably great for bikes and vipers but seems like I would still need to be hand painting the individual models. Do you have any expirience painting smaller models with airbrushing?

Airbrushing can work on small models like infantry!

Look up awesomepaintjob on YouTube for a few ideas!

Also death ray designs makes some stencils for airbrushing the harliquen diamond design.
