So I've narrowed it down to a few different AB that I like and I think would fit what I will use them for. I am going at this purchase a lil differently than I normally would which would be to just purchase the top end AB and use it. As much as I would like to do that, I don't have all the funds right now and I see in the future that I could use an AB for priming.
I will be using the AB mostly for painting plastic or resin Warhammer figures or something similar ( that is what my oldest son is in to right now) I also have another son who just started college and he is very good at the comic strip style art so I may end up doing some larger artwork pieces on paper but would still have the smaller detail in them. I am looking at gravity feed AB.
The AB that I have narrowed it down to are the H&S Ultra, Badger Xtreme Patriot and the H&S Infinity. The Infinity being the one that I end up with later on after I have used one of the others for a while.
I know a lot of this has to do with opinion and on every AB there are 8-9 great reviews and 1-2 good but not great. My brother has an Iwata HP-C+ and it's nice. I'm not set on or against Iwata.
I have larger hands (XL or size 11 glove in US). I'm looking at buying new or a used one in very good condition. There aren't many local hobby shops in my area so I will have to order one online. I am familiar with Spraygunner.com.
I like the Ultra being the same brand as the Infinity and parts being interchangeable and the fit and finish. On the Badger Patriot Xtreme I like the coating and style of the brush with the added features over the Ultra and ease of needle access. Having not held any of the AB I have listed and some of the differences I've listed may not be relevant between the two and/or the differences in time (or call it convenience) of not having to do one or the other will actually be what makes the decision, if that makes sense.
For those that have used each of these brushes or at least the Ultra and Badger Xtreme can you please tell me the pros and cons of each compared to each other? So I can make an educated decision and get one.
