After dropping about $375 on an airbrush and compressor (badger extreme patriot and badger compressor)I find that it’s a hassle to clean and I can get nearly the same results drybrushing with medium/ large makeup brushes. It gets used to prime minis 99% of the time now. I’m glad I have it in my arsenal but I don’t use it nearly as much as I thought I would.

I'll second the Patriot 105 for an excellent entry-level airbrush has a lot of utility and will still be useful if you end up down the rabbit hole of airbrushing. You want some quality in your first airbrush without going overboard on price, and with the stock 0.5mm needle/nozzle it's perfect for priming, pre-shading/highlighting, basecoats and final varnish coats. You can get a finer needle/nozzle (0.3mm) to upgrade for minimal cost if you want to start experimenting with more details before taking the plunge into a higher-end airbrush for really tight detail work.

I picked up the Neo several years ago... I added a few things and have never looked back, love my neo.

I don´t paint figures but i am a scale Model Builder (mostly planes 1/72 and 1/48) and an Airbrush i a MUST!
Also started with brush Painting, but with an Airbrush, the paint is much smoother, and the most important in scale building: you don´t totally cover up all the details like rivets, panel lines...

Started with cheap china airbrushes to learn and get familiar with it, now i have a H&S Silverline and i just love that thing!

You know what I want WAY more than an airbrush?

Friends that are interested in this hobby too. Man have I been trying.
But, A) we live in current year coronavirus world. And B) I'm a bit of an anti-social grump.

A friend at work has gotten a mini and a starter paint set. So theres a glimmer of hope lol😂

After years with a Pistol grip Neo, I purchased the Badger Renegade Krome, wow what a difference! However, I then went down the rabbit hole of buying Badger and Paasche airbrushes, because they are both USA made. Don't rule out single action airbrushes! Go back and look at model aircraft from the 50s-80s, all the camouflage was usually done with either a Badger or Paasche single action, they're more versatile than you think!

"...I have gone through three nozzles..."
So, confess, how did that happen?

[UnvarnishedTarnished]

A quick disconnect is a MUST. So much easier to clean when you can take it right off the hose without air escaping.

Painted my whole White Scars army in 48 hours using an airbrush and contrast paints. I'd say it's a good investment and time saver.

Informative as always. This video kept me convinced that I don't need an airbrush until I decide to start doing camouflage on large aircraft and tank models where brushstroke marks become a problem.

This video should get its own playlist so it can be found more easily on your channe. It is a great introduction for people considering to buy an airbrush covering all initial questions.

its deff not needed but it sure does help things go fasta

[Valtier_]

I have the h&s infinity cs aswell, bought it as a beginner after doing some research on different ones and the store owner told me its the best out there, that I probably wouldn't have to replace.

[jeffreyrichey]

I am loving this channel. I went out of the hobby for a while, and this is great to watch when getting back in

[MSnell]

I can't speak for the Badger, but I would never recommend a beginner to start with the Iwata Neo. It was my first airbrush and it was nothing but headaches and frustration for me. The price stands in this awkward middle ground between the cheap, yet serviceable Amazon kit brushes, and the MUCH more capable Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. If you don't want to spend a lot out of the gate, I would grab one of the Amazon kits that already comes with the recommended compressor.

One thing that you didn't touch on is Zenithal Highlighting, airbrushes EXCEL at this, although I have seen it done with rattle cans (just not as smooth transitions). Zenithal Highlighting combined with airbrushing very thin glazes will shake your painting world to its foundation. Not only does it provide incredibly smooth transitions, it is INCREDIBLY fast to do! As a wargamer I will have large blocks of similar models to paint up (let's say Stormtroopers), with Zenithal Highlighting I cut the time to paint them by at least 75%. Before you ask, a Vallejo Light Grey Primer + a few drops of Vallejo White Primer from the bottom, then a white ink from the top. Cover that with a clear gloss (let dry overnight), then brush a flat black where needed, any mistakes use a moist hobby Q-tip to remove them. Panel lines on their armor, I use a 0.05 illustration pen keeping a moist hobby Q-tip on hand to fix any problems. Also, I keep the helmet, arms/weapons and backpacks separate to paint. :)

I mostly make aircraft so having a airbrush is really fantastic because of all that surface, you where right about going through the nozzle that comes with the brush, I don't clean it well enough, lesson learned I guess.

The best compressor money can buy is the "SIL-AIR 20A", it's "Made In Europe" by an over 40yr old compressor-company, and is made of a refrigerator compressor, which means it's slightly louder than a whisper at 30db max.
(A whisper is about 30 dB, normal conversation is about 60 dB)
It has an built in Tank, a Water separator and Regulator = All you need.

I just got my first airbrush today and had a blast priming new models indoors without a shaker can. I can't wait to use it more over the coming weeks.
