Brilliant, as is pretty much everything else that comes off your bench. I particularly love the roof with this one too.

As has happened before, you have me scrambling to find my copy of Jim Eager's book...which I cannot, unfortunately put my hands on right now.

BTW, and I know I've asked you before, and you have responded before too: What make and model is this fifth airbrush of yours? [Not joking as I was originally about your moniker "Airbrush/'Channel Number Five' "]

I have a Badger Compressor, many years old now, but still functional I'm sure, and despite thirty years of disuse...and another my brother bequeathed to me when he passed. Can't conjure up the name/brand of that one, but I have the idea it's a step or two better than my old Badger.

I'm sure, if you tell me, I will forget it...again...and will, sometime further down the road, ask you yet again...but for now, humor me. Let's pretend I have a memory that isn't a pass-through sponge.

Thx.

Roger that, and no reason to do so.

It's been so many years since I used an airbrush that I need to go back to first grade. I do recall there was a "how to use an airbrush" book twenty or more years back (I'm nearly certain I have it...but can I find it? :D)

I recall it did promote the use of a water trap (I had not used one before) and an inline air pressure gauge. Does your rig use the former? The water trap?
