I'm just starting out. I recently acquired a small compressor with an attached 3 liter tank. It works flawlessly so for. A good deal I think at $130. I replaced the 1.5" 0-100psi gauge with a 2.5" 0-30 psi gauge for much better resolution. So much easer to set and exact psi. I have a new Badger Sotar 20/20 and 2 new Iwata Eclipse HP-CS's. So far, I really like the Iwata's. At this point, I can get as fine a line with the HP-CS as I can with the Sotar 20/20. I do like the way the Sotar feels in my hand, and it's lighter. But I think I would have been fine without the Sotar, as the Iwata CS is so versatile. I haven't done anything practical with my new brushes other than to familiarize myself with the components, learn how to pull them apart and clean them and practice the basic techniques like dots and lines of various sizes, shading, daggers etc.. I suppose that qualifies as something practical, come to think of it. So far, I'm having the time of my life and want to continue to learn. I'm into motorcycles, hang gliders, N scale railroad themed dioramas, guitars and my girlfriend. Yep, that leaves no time for TV. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm excited to continue my paintbrushing (is that a real word?)education!
