Ray from UK

[Raybo]

I have been told to come here by the moderator to introduce myself. My name is Ray, short for Raymond. I am retired from logical engineering so I make stuff in my spare time. Mostly in 1/35 scale but sometimes in 1/72 scale for my little railway which is in 009 gauge. I have an Iwata and a H&S infinity. As summer comes on I will have to go out into the garage where ther is a big compressor, it came from Lidl I think but it works OK. I also have a smaller tank compressor that I use for airbrushing but I find it hard to work the regulator and it loves to dance across the desk or floor so I am finding it a strain. I am getting older every day. . .
What I am hoping to do is use the big compressor's hose with I think the standard 1/4 inch female end to connect to a better inline regulator on my work table and then plug my airbrush hose into that. Oh and I live in Norfolk quite close to the Wash. I hope that this introduction is good enough for you.

Welcome home Ray
Would love seeing you train set up
The only issues with keeping you big compressor in the garage or shed and plumbing a line in to the house to your work station will be weather and how it affect moisture in the line. So besides the regulator you will want a moisture trap set up before it hit the regulator.That is if I am reading your plan correctly.

Welcome Ray, glad to have you aboard. Look like you’ll want to scale down the 1/4 to a 1/8 size for the airbrush. I think you’ll be able to do this with a couple adaptors. There may even be a male 1/4 quick connect that scales to a 1/8 to attach the hose.
