Tiffany PurdyTiff is the best! She introduced me to an amazing compressor that is so quiet you can't even tell it's on! This is important if I ever want to airbrush while my son is around (he's afraid of the vacuum and refers to the dremel as "the noisy").
Some other tips I learned: keep a big bowl of water next to you and just immerse the whole airbrush in it and run water through it between colors, as well as spraying some windex/water solution in there and use a stiff brush to scrub the needle area.
And get the cone shaped paint filters from the paint department...
I'll have to find my notes as I continue unpacking and try to put it to practice. Hopefully I remembered all the important details.
This will speed up basecoating models a hundredfold and I'm sure I'll find other effects and techniques I like to use it for as well.
Thank you, thank you, Tiffany!
