Hello guys and girls I hope!
My name is Igor, and I live in Croatia. Nice place more or less, but not if you wanna earn money tbh. I am 28 years old mining engineer.
I am playing miniature games for years, mostly 40k/30k, infinity, warmachine...Around 2 years ago, I finally decided to buy compressor and airbrush, because it was necessary for my Alpha legion project.
More or less I bought some similar deal to this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Airbrush-Kom...153427?hash=item43ddfcfd13:g:86gAAOSwHaBWlSF7
And I can't say that it doesn't do the job done. For what I am using it, it's very decent. Base coating and painting main color over infantry and tanks, I can't complain too much considering the price. Sometimes despite water trap you really can't do any airbrushing because of too much humidity, but that's okay, I don't need to airbush on such days. After each use I clean my airbrush, and leave needle outside because from what I see, it helps if really small amount of paint was left in, this way it doesn't get clogged. So I can say that I do have some airbrush experience, although it would be nice to get some better airbrush so that I can become better painter and start doing some detail work, osl etc, which I really can't with those Chinese airbrushes I got with compressor
What I am looking for now is something around 100$ maybe a bit more, since I really can't justify spending 200$ on airbrush, when my monthly paycheck will be 300$.
My friend is visiting his girlfriend in Sacramento, so I can order new airbrush to him, and he can bring it back to me, no shipping and taxes this way . From what I see airbrushes are more expensive in Europe and if I order them from outside Europe, there is good chances they will be taxed, so that bring expenses at least 30% up. it would be nice to use this opportunity to get one from USA.
I stumbled on Amazon on Sotar 20/20 which look quite okay for it's price. Dunno can you find something better around this price range. My Chinese ab is still perfectly fine for most of painting I need to get done, I just need something which I can use for more detailed and fine work.
