Hey Everyone,
Thanks heaps for the welcome!
Seamonkey your a crack up... thanks everyone.
So I went out to Airbrush Australia in Penrith today to see some work and some brushes, etc.
Found myself having a good chat to Wayne and was quite helpful. I will do the 2 day course as soon as I can.
I bought a 0.35 gun (Their own 'brand' but was quite a bit cheaper than the name brands, some Wicked Colours Paints, hose, etc... got home and couldnt wait.
I have a 170litre briggs and stratton powered compressor, the thing is a beast, and was used for framing houses, rattle gun on the cars, etc. She handled 15psi very well, so I was happy and the hose is a direct connection yay!
Googled, found something my 6 year old son wanted on his skateboard and thought I would just give it a good ol' try.
I have NEVER airbrushed before, I have a pencil knife, did my best at a stencil out of A4 paper and went at it.
Found that I have to really control the amount of air (too much, spiderweb, too little and it spatters, reduced the paint pretty well I think... just shot black today, only had limited time before kids took over again.
Here it is, not finished yet, but enough for my first time, and yes, my first time ever, ever... im pretty happy with it but jeez I got alot to learn. Cant wait. I wish my compressor wasnt petrol, would love to go work on stuff in the evenings.
<EDIT> First ever here. Cherry popped, you guys are right, I really liked it.
Cheers,
Peter
