I wanted to just dabble to see what I can do before I lash out and spend more money.
    I think I need the confidence to just start
    Thanks for the info

    chambezio don't worry I had paint failures when I started using mine until I brought the right ones to suit the airbrush

    These are what I already had before the one in the post above. The black one I brought with the idea of using it on some models years ago but never got around to using it, the blue one was given to me which now has been replaced as it broke and the other two are what came with the compressor. The two in the wooden box I have used for larger area coverage and have sprayed artist acrylic paints after mixing with Liquitex Flow Aid and then filtered and as I did not have anything suitable to filter it a new pair of the wife's tights which have a very fine mesh worked great so now have a load of squares of this material in the spray draw. I have also used these to spray spirit wood stains
    The two airbrushes that came with the compressor I used on the blue bowl I did a while ago and now let the great grandson use as he enjoys spraying.
    I am a total beginner and realise that I have one heck of a lot to learn when using these.

    I have come to realise I am a great "copier" of what people do. If I can see an article I can usually duplicate it. Getting artistic things out of my head is something that doesn't come easy. So really, the only thing to do is get set up with some paper and paints and just play around. Thank you gents
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod
