The Adventures in Airbrushing Archive

Welcome to the Adventures in Airbrushing page, a complete guide to purchasing an airbrush setup and much more.  Adventures in Airbrushing was originally intended to be a co-written series created to document my (Chaosheade) and M4XVLTG3's experiences with getting into the world of airbrushing from choosing our equipment to spraying some paint and our minis and beyond.  As we began writing the articles for the series, they really took on a life of their own and evolved into a fully comprehensive guide to all things related to airbrushing and the miniature hobby.  What began as a list of airbrushes and compressors that we were considering became a very detailed listing of many airbrushes and compressors as well as explanations of the different types of equipment out there and many of the features and add-ons available and of course, since one of the goals of the series is to save money, price comparisons are also included.
