Pepa Saavedra
Young Tutorling
Hi! My name is Pepa Saavedra and I'm a miniature painter from Seville (southern Spain). Something about me:
I have been airbrushing for about 22 years (or maybe 23
). Initially I start airbrushing as a hobby, but now it’s my full-time job.
My first airbrush was the typical AB-300 and little diaphragm compressor (Sorry, but I don't know if that is how you say it in english, I'm using a translator). I have to say I broke 2 or 3 of these before I got a good one. This was my first "equipment" and I painted a lot of figures before updating/improving it.
Now I got a big and silent homemade compressor.
After this first airbrush....I got a Badger 100G Fine, then, an Evolution 2 in1 from H&S, an Iwata HP-B Plus, an Infinity 2 in 1 (because It's beautiful and I love its aesthetic). And an iwata Custom Microm was my last purchase at Christmas 2020.
My last purchase to work with, but..... this past year I began to collecting airbrushes.... Yeah, I found out I’m an airbrushes geek
In addition to these 6, I also have some "no brand" airbrushes that are gifts from friends: one similar to badger 150 (never used because to paint miniatures having the pot under the ab doesn't work for me), two mistakenly called airbrushes, type badger 250 (also never used), a Grex (never used)....and now some vintage airbrushes that I have been cleaning and servicing.
In total, I got 15 brushes (only). But there are some more I’d like to get, maybe in a future.
That’s how I got to this forum through my searches to find information about spare parts for this old brushes, how they works etc.
I have to say that I still keep all my brushes from first to the last I purchased, and still works perfectly....except one or two of my new-old vintage airbrushes..... but I hope to get them to do it
And that’s all for now.... (I’m sorry if I made mistakes with the languageops
Kisses, Pepa.
