The constant drumming of the rain outside the window, combined with the steady hum of the cooling fans, creates a cacophony of the monotonous, which works on my fatigue like tiny hammers pounding into throbbing temples.
“This is ridiculous,” I admonish myself, maneuvering my way down another dead end; eyes nothing more than narrow slits in the reflected light from the monitor.
Waves of frustration descend, manifesting themselves in trembling spasms, beginning at my shoulders and working their way down. My grip on the mouse tightens, as quivering fingers banish the curser to the screen’s nether-regions.
“How long must I wait in the dark? Questions unanswered…” I curse and then as if waking from a dream, I scan the page, finally focusing my bloodshot eyes on a color…
I know, you are all asking what the heck is this guy is talking about… well, it is just my way of introducing myself…a weird old guy with a new hobby.
I work primarily in wood, crafting prop replicas, miniatures, and custom furniture. All my finishing until recently has been by brush. I finally broke down and purchased an HVLP sprayer for a large project and loved the results. Now I want to transition to airbrush for smaller projects and artistic embellishments.
I usually spend an inordinate amount of time researching anything I buy, but I knew I'd be hunting forever if I did that and wanted to get started. I just purchased a Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline 2 in 1 and a Sparmax TC-620X. They were both impulsive decisions. I'd like to know if you think these are good for a beginner.
I am looking forward to learning from your expertise. Thanks for having me.

“ORANGE”
