, i keep forgetting you're not an Iwata hoarder
@mnmnmnmnm, here's "my" shopping list recommendations from Foxy, there prices are comparable to most around.
€
Eclipse CS 119.85
Eclipse CS spare needle 9.09
Eclipse CS spare nozzle 23.97
Iwata Moisture trap for airbrush 22.31
iwata cobra hose 21.49
H&S Quick conect with MAC 15.7
Iwata Male connect
Iwata Clean out pot 22.27
I couldnt find the male connector for the quick connect, but if you email them they will let you know which one you need for the Iwata >H&S quickfix. Its a standard fitting and generally less that 6 eur
I also recommend their new airbrush holder: 23.88 Euro. it holds the brush nicely firm with very little risk of it falling out if the air line is tugged at all (or tripped over
) it also fits onto the spray out pot so you can have it all secured in one spot.
when you go to the supermarket/drugstore or where ever it is you buy your toothpaste, look for 'interdental brushes' they look like miniature bottle brushes and are great for cleaning the smaller parts of the airbrush. unlike the 'mini cleaning brushes' that many airbrush outlets supply , the interdentals dont have the metal core which will easily scratch the inside of your brush.
so you now have your compressor, and a shopping list, the only other thing missing is the adaptor for the airline to the compressor. . Just take the airline to the hardware shop and ask for an adapter to fit the compressor. The manual will tell you what the outlet is (BSP/NSP etc)
all you need now is some paint, time, patience and you'll be posting your work in no time flat.
