BobP I totally agree with you. There are a lot of details that go into being proficient with an airbrush. I keep trying to learn. Maybe I make it too hard. I keep saying the paint has to be just right, the pressure has to be just right and even then, when you think you are going too slow, you have to slow down. When things go bad it's like you need a ready reference checklist on what to check. These are the brushes I have. Nothing special. Paasche Dual Action VL (red one), Badger Single 200NH (blue one), and an unknown little plastic jobber. When I bought the Paasche, I was doing a lot of spray painting and thought it would translate over easily. It didn't. I got frustrated. I got the Badger because it is a detail brush thinking it would help me do details. It didn't. I got frustrated. Looking back I wasn't as bad as I thought, and still not as good as the lure artists in the gallery. This is the jitterbug body from the other thread painted up to give an idea of what the Paasche will look like in the wrong hands..... I just keep telling myself this is a hobby. I'm supposed to enjoy it! But like everybody else I want to be good at it too. Yep, I agree BobP. Airbrushing is part art and part technical skill.

DENIAL is not a river in Egypt!

i would hold off a couple weeks just to see what Bear has up his sleeve here. here is a post from the other day on his forum. "Patience is a Virtue with the 2 color Injection process. And The Reality is almost here. Within 3 weeks we will be debuting a new 2 color Injector that will make all of you go wow. All I will say at the moment is that it works with the presto pots and they do not require cleaning or stopping once you begin the injection process. Do not ask any more questions about them as I will not answer. But we be will once again Changing the way you make plastic baits. So get ready and get your money saved up. We are trying to get the price together now but if all goes according to plans they will be very affordable versus a bench top injection machine. This is the most excited I have been about a product to date.!! It has the WOW Factor"
