Sorry for not replying sooner, been out of pocket this last week. Actually got interested in airbrushing couple years ago by airbrushing fishing lure blanks, from there did couple of my pets. Now working on learning portraits and color paint mixing. Used acrylic paint mostly although recently starting working with acrylic inks. The Iwata CM-SB modified with soft spring and Dru Blairs's short trigger is my go-to brush.
