    Air brush ??

    I have never used a air brush. Just wanting play around. Temu has a kit for 20 or 30 bucks. Anyone ever try them?

    Also an fyi, createx paint seems to be the most popular and easy to get at hobby lobby and whatnot, but they oftentimes don't flow through air brushes that well and can cause a lot of tip dry. I almost always thin createx paint before shooting it. Also, that doesn't mean I don't use it, but I learned that other paints like golden high flow and com-art shoot way smoother on average.

    Good luck!

    I only use the .8 needle. I never found a need for smaller sizes. If I want a detail, I use a stencil :-)
