Reply to "Air Brush, Hands-On Demonstration and Possible Instruction?"

I have a used scalpel from a friend’s dad who is a retired brain surgeon. I’m very sure the scalpel is crap because when I preformed my first brain surgery, the patient died… like I said, it was a terrible scalpel.

If anyone thinks that the airbrush is holding back your talents, especially from anyone on this forum, you are dreadfully mistaken.

I have and use Badgers, not only because they fit my needs, but they also are made in the USA, which according to some people that is important. The Badger Airbrushes I have are very simple to clean, an important feature, that will provide years of trouble-free operation. My experience with Badgers customer service is just as good as Scott Mann from Sunset/3rd Rail, which is saying a lot. Actually, I have not needed airbrush service, but when ordering parts like additional needles, the Badger help has been top notch.

Now, will my models notice that the paint was applied from a Badger vs. Iwata or Harbor Freight? I don’t think so, I could be wrong... but I'm not.

The points stated above regarding practice and cleaning, are spot on.

Don’t clean your airbrush and you should expect to get poor performance. Keep it clean and at least you have a fighting chance to make a good coat. It won’t make you a better air brusher, but you will not be hobbled by dirt or old paint build up.
