It all depends on what your painting. I shot T-shirts for a living for 10 years in Florida. I had 20 Vega’s each one a different color. But the last 5 years of shooting T-shirts I switch to 20 Iwata Eclipse HP-BCS brushes. I have Olympos MP-200B and MP-200C. I also have right now every Iwata Microns including the new Takumi Micron. I have 100 airbrushes in total. All Brand names. No cheap knock offs. After T-shirts I moved out West and shot Harley’s, Cars and Trucks for 25 more years. I finally retired and paint for myself. I may have the Knick name Airbrushkid but I am no kid by all means. If your painting to learn 1 airbrush is all that’s needed. Have fun.
I hear ya. I look at a brush I don't have, and a little voice in my head asks how we're surviving without it. Some brushes just catch my eye like a piece of jewelry, 💍or a nice Rolex.⌚
That's like asking how long is a piece of string or how deep is a hole?. It's a very subjective question. I'm a self confessed airbrush-aholic I especially love the older vintage stuff, restoring it them and getting them working again.
Thanks for watching, I guess our addiction could be a lot worse, as addictions go. I'm personally going through withdrawals, as I promised the wife, no new brushes until after our cruise next month.
@airbrushdungeon I admire your strength there, I wouldn't even bother making a promise like that because inevitably some gem would come up on ebay cheap and my addiction would prevail 🙂
Damn ! Damn! Just bought another one. My thinking is...I`ve got 3 USA, 3 German, 3 Chinese but only one lonely Japanese so a Procon Boy PS-270 joins my Iwata as it`s made in the same factory......... :-(
I like your review of all your airbrushes.......keep it going. I`ve subscribed to keep an eye on you !!. I`ve been airbrushing (badly and inconsistently) since the 1980`s with a single action (1) Badger 200 and Badger compressor. Still got them in good order. Now at 73 I`ve been upgrading and learning how to use modern Acrylics rather than longstanding Enamels. Something strange happening........... now collected....... (2) Badger Patriot .5 (3) Badger Patriot .3 (4) Badger Sotar .2 (5) Gaahleri GHAD 39 (6) Gaahleri GHAC 98D (7) Gaahleri Mobius .2 (8)Gaahleri Mobius .3 (9) H&S Infinity (10) H&S Evolution 2024 (11) H&S Ultra2024 (12) Neo Iwata TRN 2 .5 (13) Iwata Revolution CR3 Have I got time to use them all?? I`m joining Airbrush Annonymous...... My name is John and I`m an airbrush user !!!!
Hi John.Thanks for watching, commenting, and most of all for the sub. It's hard to get this RU-vid thing rolling when like me, you lack the raw talent that some of these RU-vid artists have. Some of these guys are amazing. In comparison, I'm just winging it. It's nice to meet a fellow 80s airbrush refugee. And that is an awesome collection you have there.
@@airbrushdungeon yep I`m winging it too....... I`ve learn`t quite a bit from some airbrush artists of which which I`m not....O scale Model Railways for me and trying to move over to Acrylics .I`ve picked up ideas from The Art Workshop.....Jon Bius.....The air space....... and Dred FX. Practice...Practice Practice...you``ll get there...
@@johntaylor5807 You referenced the vary guys I was talking about. Mark from The Art Workshop had kind words for what I do, and subbed to my channel. That was a nice little ego boost. He's a pretty cool guy.
