Hey!, you've got a great forum here, plenty of good discussions and information!
Hello from the south-eas of Spain (Murcia to be more precise), where this absolutely no-good for art is having tons of fun with his airbrush(es... too much money already, damn it) thanks for the valuable info found in the Airbrush Tutor youtuve channel.
My name is Pedro, I'm a computer scientist, and I've embraced airbrushing as my new and most exciting hobby!. I always thought that I was completely disabled for any kind of graphic art (not to say sculpture), and restrained myself to music, to which I'm also horrible, but have good fun and no harm to anybody as I play electric guittar with headphones hahahaha. Now I discover that, I can draw a line!!! and I've started even drawing some crippled blending lines!!!! this is incredible, so much fun!!. Some days ago I even dared to try and get a dagger stroke from my Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and almost bent the needle (stupid idea to try it with the needle crown off, won't happen again). I've made like 10 atempts with "the eye", and even printed the girl portrait and painted over with my airbrush, which produced something that could ashame the whole human kind had it to be seen, but hey, had a great time
I've been airbrushing for one month now, and after upgrading my lowsy chinese airbrush to an Iwata (after reading and reading about the many wonders of the eclipse), I'm starting to get the hold of it (sorry for my english, by the way, I'm all messed up between the various accents and expressions in youtuve) and really loving the Eclipse, but I found that getting serious detail out of it was reaaaally difficult. Not that it cannot get it, bear with me, but because that means way too much trigger control for me. I could get pencil lines, even thinner, like mechanical pencil lines, but I had to thin the hell out of the paint, and then pull the trigger half the width of the hair of a fly. That worked, but then I read about the infinity and GAS sindrome kicked in: bought it when I found it really cheap on a local store (205 euros for the 2 in 1 crplus).
Summing up:
Compressor: the chinesse AS189, sold rebranded from germany (can't recall the name right now).
ABs: Iwata Eclipse HP-CS, Harder&Steenbeck Infinity CR Plus 2 in 1, and two crappy chinese ones (don't buy them please)
Paint: Vallejo (discarded), Wicked and Wicked detail (currently), Com Art (waiting to get it in the mail!)
Congratulations to all of you, who make this forum incredibly usefull and fun and exciting, and to Mitch for making it easier and funnier to pick this hobby up from the list of "things I want to do when I grow up"
Well see around!
Pedro.
