hmm...says $100 for the airbrush and tubes and stuff...and i'm thinking I need one of those compressors

I used to make models, and one cheapo option ($10.00 I think) used a can of comperssed gas, an airbrush head, and standard enamel paints. Testor's makes this and is availible where hobby supplies are. I got pretty good results with this and was great for brushing smaller parts. Don't try painting a case with it.

Yes, I saw one of those cheapish airbrush things at Wal-Mart. Figured since I had spray-paint in the first place, it would be a waste of money. Wink

I would have said that was pretty poor.

Proper geeks are covered in spots, have glasses with lenses at least 1/4" thick, stink like a dead cat in the sun, and are either anorexic, or obese.

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed myself. Doesn't sound like a proper geek at all...

Do either of you have tons of pimples, glasses with lenses 1/4" thick, stink like a dead cat in the sun, and are either anorexic, or obese?

That's what I though. Razz

Actually, I went through a pretty bad acne phase as a teen, my glasses are the ultra thin lenses, and still weigh in at around 1/4 inch, and I'm told I'm way too skinny...so I suppose I would qualify, I got 3 out of 4...(I'll let Murph handle the stinking like a cat... Razz

Oh, but I'm not a proper geek. (Squeaked by without much in the way of pimples, my glasses are only 1/8 " thick or so, prolly less, and I shower daily. I'm not anorexic, but I'm slightly overweight. *shrug*)

But still, I haven't mastered the fine art of geeking yet. I'm working on it!
