I have always wanted to own an airbrush ... and now I have one!
This morning – on the way back from our second trip of the day to the re-cycling centre with a carload of carpet, underlay, and gripper strip – my wife and I stopped off at the local branch of Lidl. Amongst the 'special offers' on sale was a complete airbrush set (including an electric compressor) for £49.99.
Over the years I have thought about buying an airbrush several times, but the cost of the compressed air canisters or the compressor I would need always struck me as being more than I was willing to pay ... but this 'special offer' was too good to let pass.

Good job Bob - I've had similar pangs and always resisted them. This could open some doors for you in terms of rapidly getting armies painted.
ReplyDeleteConrad Kinch,
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to hear that I am not the only person who had always wanted an airbrush, but until now had resisted the temptation to buy one. Now I have it, I hope to try using it ASAP ... once the conservatory is finished!
I can see its main use as a quick way to undercoat figures and to paint vehicles ... but I am sure that if I get the hang of how to use it, I will find other uses as well.
All the best,
Bob
PS. I have had one or two emails telling me that I have bought the worst airbrush going ... and that I should have bought a much more expensive one that will do all sorts of things that I cannot ever envisage doing.
