Hi, my name is Richard, I am 57yrs old and spend most of my time living in Madrid Spain and the summer months in Brighton England.
I have been a member of this site for a couple of years now just viewing, but now I have decided to come off the fence and join in.
I first started airbrushing when I was 12yrs old. Stopped airbrushing approx 6 weeks later!! I tried to airbrush model planes with a Badger airbrush and compressed air in a can. Compressors were way to expensive for my pocket money and paper round. So was loads of canned compressed air.
Started again 3 years ago (2012) after wanting to change the colour of my one metre rc racing yacht.
Picked up a deal on Ebay, compressor and a cheap airbrush. Soon after I was surfing the web and found Airbrush Tutor. What an eye opener.
Two years later and a lot of practice using the tutorials on this site I thought I could just about master the airbrush. That was, until I read on one of the forum threads "the moment you pull back on the trigger paint will flow". When I pulled back on the trigger paint flowed out of my airbrush whenever it felt like it. It was a constant guessing game, but I managed.
Just 6 months ago I decided to upgrade to a new Harder & Steenbeck Infinity CRPlus 2 in 1. What a difference! This airbrush is unbelievable. So good in fact that I have plucked up the courage to post a couple of my efforts.
I now have in my arsenal, a H & S Infinity 2 in 1,
H & S Evolution 2 in 1
