This is my theory DIY project for you. Buy few fish tank pump (at least two), joint all the outlet hose to one hose and connect to your airbrush. It should give you sufficient pressure and no pulse air.

Ps. Don't blame me huh if not work. tongue.gif

Inside KLCC, toycity ada. Tamiya paint but limited choice. I have diffult find the color I want aspecially tamiya paint. I try buy online and one shoot buy 10-20bottle. It is cheaper than local. The only problem is, you got to wait.

Well, you have few choice. Use air pressure can like boltguard do, inflate tyre where you can refill with bicycle pump, bigger fish tank pump where it won't generate pulse and using your mouth to blow.  tongue.gif

If only cost rm400, go and get it. No need to think. A good silent 24/7 compressor, at least cost rm1000 over.

I don't think he mod himself. He create it himself. That's why he can give warranty. Sure it can last long. Even I can warranty you 2-3yrs. Cause I have one similiar design and it last for 18yrs. I m still using it now.

You need a compressor to pump the air for air brushing. Just buy a airbrush, you still cannot use it if you don't have a compressor. So airbrush and compressor should be in one set.

ok here's a quote from bro danny
QUOTE(DannyChoo)
If you are considering going serious with Gundam modeling then get yourself a small air compressor instead of trying out these cans - these cans are absolutely useless - what happens is that you would be spraying for a while and then notice the air pressure drop as the can freezes over. You replace the can with the standby can but that freezes over too - but the first can is still frozen! You will also end up spoiling your gundam because as the air pressure drops, the flow of ink being sprayed also changes and before you know it your Gundam looks like its been dragged through some Bantha pudoo.

Mr Hobby Mini Compressor. I first started of modeling by using air canisters but after a few puffs, the canisters freeze over causing air pressure to destabilize which then causes your air brush to spit rather than blow. I tried the two canister trick but I would still have to wait for the other can to cool down. So I decided to splash out about 15,000 yen (cant remember) on this compressor. As long as I don't intend on attempting to make life size Gundams then this will be (and has been) quite adequate for now. The compressor comes with wobbly rubber feet so it does not rumble and the sound level is about the same as a mid range fart.

Well.. if im not mistaken.. it sold here in msia..

but still need to re-confirm that..

edit: yup.. confirm got sell in msia.. yeah!!
this is a quote from Ratatosk who went to the shop at UE3 - somewhere in Cheras along Jln Lok Yew..
QUOTE(Ratatosk @ Aug 4 2006, 10:30 AM)
Just checked out ArtFriend yesterday.
Plenty of paints, inks, paper, wood, brassrods, stencils, brushes etc etc...
Also a whole range of Badger airbrushes.
All the double action Badger ABs selling for 488.
But there's a 10%discount after paying rm10 for membership.
Also Badger compressed air canisters, small rm36, large rm56.
The large one, from what a guy told me, is enough for painting 3 modelling kits.

There's also a selection of 'cheap'-er Badger single actions with plastic handles.
There are a few boxsets, small air can, plastic singleaction AB, hose, connectors, regulator etc... for 300+
But I still find these boxsets expensive. Cos in S'pore, I found a few taiwan imitations of the exact same design going for sgd58, without the small air can.
The air compressors are expensive. The ones with moisture trap etc going for 1200+.
Best option so far is still Venus Art...
