My New Airbrush Setup

[HellfireJack]

Thanks for the input Stella. I already knew not to let the tank lay on it's side while in use. Right now it's chained to the leg of my workbench I'm considering making a stand for it. So far I've only used it to practice with on scrap and I have to say I LOVE it. There's no way I'll go back to using daubers to apply dies and finishes.

At my current amount of usage I don't think I'll ever have to worry about freezing the guages.

I actually thought that if I didn't like how CO2 worked with airbrushing then I'd use it for a home kegerator system.

I dont know if it might be a cheaper easier way for you , but what about a large air tank for tire inflation with a combo filter / dryer / regulator hooked in line. I use a conversion kit on an old 20 lb freon tank for that and as a portable air source. I f you dont have a compressor, hit the closest gas station and fill er up.

By the way anybody ever play with an old NELSPOT 007 marker gun. Thats back when paintball was first starting out. Made for marking cattle and telephone poles........

CO2 seems to be working fine so far. I have no complaints at all. Maybe if I increase my production I'll consider going to a larger system.

I never used an nelspot 007. A friend of mine had one though. How about the NSG Splatmaster? Just as old and twice as ugly. It was a green plastic handgun looking monstrosity that was front fed via tube and cocked by pressing a plastic piston on the back of the marker. I played a few games with those things. Man they sucked.

Hellfire, I like your CO2 set up...don't much like the noise of a compressor. I just ordered the WD 180 from PEC in Hong Kong. We have a good compressed gas place nearby. Got some good info from the YT vids by Chuck Bauman. Now I can do flames on my jeep...LOL...
