Finally got all the pieces needed. A badger 150, a Pasche compressor and some paints. At first I was a bit disappointed as I was having trouble with the model master Acrylic. No matter what I did it ran. I had it set to 15 psi and no thinner.

Tayima seems to work great right out of the bottle. No thinner and 20psi.

Loads of fun.

Captain,
Welcome to the wonderful world of airbrushing. Hate to say, but sooner or later you're going to have to thin your paints for the airbrush. That's probably why you were having problems with MM Acrylics. You can use a generic thinner, but I recommend using whatever brand of paint's thinner.
