Help getting started with airbrushing, please?

Post by nanook177 »

Hello all!
After a pause of over 15 years, I am starting to get back into building starships. I am trying new things and different materials and one of the things I want to use is an airbrush. However, I have absolutely zero clue as to how to get started. I have read may recommendations about what to look for in an airbrush, but I have no clue as to even get started, what's important, what will give the best effect, etc. I know I am going to be using acrylics because they don't set off my allergies as bad as other paints, but other than that I need some help deciding what to do and how to get started with equipment to get paint on model. Thanks all!

Jeff

P.S., If this has been covered in another post, I am sorry. I did search but could not find something appropiate.
