Airbrush

[delta408]

that makes more sense to me. thanks!

[delta408]

another question, is it ok to just have a basic single action airbrush just to make sure my kits have a uniform coat of paint?

[ikabod]

yes, because it would really depend on your skill on how you paint your kits, even if you have a double action a/b.

[delta408]

good, i want to keep costs as low as possible so i can get my "Holy Grail" kits. ;D

[ikabod]

"monster" kits you say. . .

but really try to look for great deals on dual action a/b, it would really be worth it. . .

right now am saving up and will be waiting for a good deal to come.

[delta408]

ok, ok, monster kits. ;D i think i'll save for a dual action too

I can hardly find any time to visit Recto for Enriquez Art Supply, is Tamiya Sprayworks a good set for a beginner? I wanted to take my Zoid painting skills to the next level but I do have budget concerns and besides that I can hardly find any time to go to Recto, so I guess my best bet would be Lil's in Glorietta.

can anyone comment on the Basic Sprayworks set (a/b+compressor)?

[delta408]

I have the Basic Sprayworks set and it works just fine for me. I just have to get the hang of the single action airbrush it comes with. A dual action will come next once I master the single action.

my advice for thos who doesnt have an airbrush yet is to start with a double action airbrush. kasi when i started airbrushing i bought the Badger spray gun set (single action) and used it for like a week then moved on to a Badger 155 (double action). and its more economical to start with the double action rather than buying a single then a double diba?

;D

[delta408]

A very valid point, Checkmate. In my case though, since the Basic sprayworks set already has a single action, I might as well master that first. Although a dual action brush is better than single action, I'm not financially prepared to get a double action yet.

[kamadoma]

Well others also told me to go for a double action one to save up, but I don't really find myself using or spending for one. So I guess I'd go for the Tamiya Sprayworks now. Any ideas on the price of it?

[delta408]

About 7k including a separate power adapter.

[rhanen28]

here in manila it costs about 4850 pesos plus 700 for the power adapter

[kamadoma]

When I buy the Tamiya SprayWorks Airbrush and compressor, does the set already have what I need to operate it?

Do I still need the power adaptor?

Does the set have english instructions?

[rhanen28]

you still need to buy the adaptor for the power source
yes, it has a english intstruction
