hmm that might be a bit tricky.maybe u can go to Venus Art in Petaling Street and ask what is needed to connect the airbrush to the compressor.They might be able to help.

btw,here's some info i got from rctech forum:

Airbrush hoses are 1/4" inch fittings.
Most Air equipment is 1/4" inch as well.
Some are more heavy duty which are 3/8 inch fittings.
This is easy to fix as they sell couplers to go from 1/4" to 3/8".
These literally only cost like $1.00US ($1.40AUD) at any Hardware Store.

btw,u can search n read a lot of info on airbrush here

but from comments i read,i'm pretty sure its pretty silent.

btw guys,anyone noe where to get denatured alcohol/rubbing alcohol???And do you guys noe if this stuff is allowed to be touched for a muslim???thanks

i asked my agama teacher today,and she said that alcohol CAN be touched .btw,u guys can't find denatured alcohol??? serious??? i can't quite remember what am i gonna use it for

most of the newer compressors today is maintenance free.if silent is what u want,i suggest silentaire compressor.u can order these from www.bearair.com

yup,better use the spray gun.if not,imagine that u'll be painting 0.5 mm lines a time.it'll take ages to complete.just get a spray gun,they're those that have HUGE paint cups and looks like a gun with a bottle attached on top

post some pics yeah

btw,acrylic is water based meh???i thought two totally different things if ur paint is water based,like createx,u can use water,but i read windex is better(dunno got this here or not).Other types of paint i think should use paint thinner.

Btw,i reccomend Createx line of paints,haven't find it locally,but u can get the paint sets from bearair.com.It is really good stuff,and generally water based paints(createx is water based) are safe to spray inside ur house,while lacquer,enamel,acrylic(not sure with acrylic) is pretty toxic to spray inside.Btw,in case u asked,createx is the same as Parma's line of Faskolor paints,just that Createx comes in bigger sizes and is cheaper.Createx is good for anything,fabric,metal,lexan,plastic.So u guys might wanna give it a try

btw,where to buy isorophyl/rubbing/denatured alcohol???

lol this thread is kinda dead.Anyone already with an airbrush please post ur work!!! I'm still eagerly waiting for my PMR to end.Anyone doing airbrushing for business???

venus art in petaling street.check a few pages back for intructions to go there

no one talking bout dis oredi ah???so anyone got any 'masterpiece' to show???

i suppose vincC454's compressor is the one without the tank???coz the price is only 4xx

the chances of that happening is as thin as a paper IMO.Not many people like to airbrush,and not many willing to fork out that ammount of money for an Iwata.I know i would though

of course iwata lah.But badger not bad for larger works,not so good for detailed works.Anyway,u'll have a hard time finding these two in our country

As a rule of thumb,any Iwata is a good Iwata.I think the Iwata HP-CS should fit the bill nicely.But have to order from overseas and it'll burn ur wallet.If ur not experienced in airbrush,i reccomend getting like Sparmax Airbrush and learn to use it first.Once ur good with it,then go ahead n buy an iwata.My 2 sen oni.Like if ur gonna do just gundams,then an Iwata is a bit overkill.So get a Sparmax first then go on from there.

Click here.Just click on any of the series

BIG BIG NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hope u have not ordered or anything yet,but i've heard nothing but bad stuff for the Aztek.At first,i also drooled at the quick change nozzles,bla bla bla,then i read people complain can't spray well,the nozzles too flimsy,not worth it.I donnoe,should look for other airbrush.Just my airbrush

I'm glad ur happy with it.As a matter of fact,VA has just increased(i think) the price for the AB and compressors.My friend called the other day and the uncle said the price has changed,and worst of all,he said come to shop first then i'll tell.About the mixing thing and pressure setting,don't worry,you're not the only one.Everyone have this problem,even the pros.It's just trial and error,like you said.I'm also glad the compressor is silent.

P/S: i wonder why this thread so quiet

Hmm at the moment,i think should get Sparmax.But there's a good chance i'll get it this weekend.If i do,i'll comment on it.Or u can get Olympos,which is the same with Sparmax(Olympos just rebrand Sparmax airbrush).This two should last you long enough until you want to upgrade to Iwata or anything.That doesn't mean it's not going to last though.As with all things,if u take care of it,it shouldn't fail.And furthermore,VA in Petaling Street sells spare parts for these two ABs.So there shouldn't be a problem.



And BTW,if you guys are planning to do occasional ABing,don't bother getting the more expensive ones like Iwata.It's simply not worth it.If you're doing small businesses like me,then you might wanna get Iwata.It was always my dream to own an Iwata.But i have to wait for a little longer.My 2 cents

yup sparmax is good enough for casual ABing.As with any other AB,u need to take care of it.What about the mini one???the one without tanks????

walao weh.Is the mini without the air tank???I'm confused.Coz the one with tank is still technically mini in terms of size
