Hi from Michigan!

Greetings, y'all. Happy to have found the site.

I'm Jake, 38, from Michigan. There's kind of a string of events leading to me being here that probably some of you can relate to. As a kid, the closest I got to D&D was Heroquest. So recently, I bought it off of eBay and decided to paint the minis, to make it more interesting. A search on Google yielded a cool hobby, so I got started. Having already been to the local game store to buy Carcassonne, I knew where to get paints. After a few videos on YouTube, I thought it would be wise to get an airbrush - since I've always wanted to learn how and like doing models of jet aircraft (I'm an AF vet) and other militaria.

I'm new to this, but right now I use 'The Army Painter' paints/primers and Badger's line of ghost tints.
My airbrush is a Badger Krome.
I use cheap brushes, but I do have 2 'Army Painter' brushes, the 'insane detail' and the 'drybrush'.

Apologies for not coming here first, and my thanks to the welcoming community.
 
Hi! ....my Dad used to use the name Apteryx for AOL IM. Kiwi, I believe....
 
Welcome from Australia Jake.

we have a few modellers here, so you're in good company. I'm not familiar with the brand of paint you're using, are they acrylics or enamels ?
 
Thank you much, but yeah, they're acrylics, seems easier for me in an apartment to not have to worry about too many fumes at present! :sour: Although one could argue that fumes would exact no noticeable change upon me anyways.....
 
Welcome to the Madhouse .And as a vet myself I just want to thank you for your service:thumbsup:. If you cant find what your looking for just post up the question and someone will be along to help you out. And that kromes a great airbrush!!
 
Thanks, basepaint, for your service too - Yeah, I really like it so far. Good to know I picked a good airbrush, there are so many out there.
 
Welcome Jake from North Carolina. I too own the Krome and do like it a lot although I am new too so I haven't used it all that much. Lots of useful info and very helpful people here.
