Greetings from Southern California. My name is Chaz and I'm wanting to learn how to use my airbrush, so this seemed a great place to be.

Welcome to the Forum!
Welcome from the UK Chaz. What equipment have you got? What kind of styles are you hoping to learn? The more we know, the better answers to questions will be. The search function on the page is a great source of information, but if you don’t find what you’re looking for then ask away.

Hi dmshanks and SiRoxx.
I have four airbrushes; a Badger Anthem my father-in-law gave me, an old Badger 100cxf and a broken Testors Aztek that I bought myself a long, long time ago. Lastly, my crown jewel is an Iwata cm-c plus that my wife recently got me as a birthday gift. Sadly, this means I own a lot of stuff in something I've done very little with, so it's time to get in it.
I'm currently building an air-station/paint booth that will be geared—mostly—for painting sculpts, model kits and filmmaking props. So, painting small objects is sort of my thing at the moment. I have a few bicycle projects and a Buell that I would like to work up to in the next year, then who knows where from there?

That’s some great equipment. A good place to start is our own Airbrush Tutor’s site. You can register for free and download the work sheets, he also has a YouTube channel with tutorials to go with them.

Nice to meet all y'all. As nice as some of my gear is, it's pretty worthless unless it gets used, so I'll definitely check out those tutorials.
Btw, looking at what y'all are armed with, I feel like I just stumbled into Dodge City.

Welcome from Australia. Be careful with your CM-C the needles aren’t a cheap replacement, we strongly suggest you leave the needle cap on until you gain a little more confidence.
We have a few members who seem to acquire a ‘few’ airbrushes. We jokingly refer to them as suffering from AAD (Airbrush Aquisiton Disorder) and we always welcome new members

Glad to meet'cha.
I'm especially relieved because everybody here has quite an inventory of toys, which is dissolving any guilt I had for being such a gear junky myself. I have found the promised land.

Dude... you haven't even started yet. There's an airbrushing page on Facebook- guy has a big glass case crammed full of airbrushes. Anytime I feel guilty I just go look at his pictures.

@Jurien72 is right, my collection is nothing like Wissam's or Gerald's (mine still fit in filing cabinet drawersIs it to soon to introduce him to @DaveG ? , he may go into melt down
)- but, I can honestly say I can take any of mine out any day and feel comfortable using them to do what I would want to do, without feeling like I would have to compromise - been very lucky that way

Easy fix, tell her she can buy ONE pair of shoes (or whatever her guilty pleasure is) anytime you buy a brush
