Feburary 3, 2007: Built a 3 part manifold for my airbrushes. So now I can run all three of my airbrushes at the same time. Ok, so I was bored and just wanted to build something that will probably not be used, but I don’t know until I build it. Hopefully this will come in handy. Also took some updated pictures of my workspace and pegboard tool arrangement. As I work, it evolves so that the tools I use more often are more accessible. I’m sure this will continue to evolve. The goal here is make my working environment as fluid as possible which promote quicker building and such. At least I keep telling myself that.<\/p>\n\n\n

The next set of pictures is my new paint storage table. My paints are organized by type: Mr Color and Alclad II lacquers; Model Masters, Tamyia, Testors, and Humbrol enamels; Tamyia and a few Mr Hobby Color acrylics; and finally Pearl Ex pearl pigments.<\/p>\n

March 31, 2006: Added some Ikea LED lights to my display cases so took a few pictures of my displays. Crappy pictures yes, but with the current lighting and such, this is the best you’re going to get. Besides, the better pictures are peppered all over this site.<\/p>\n

Airbrush set up<\/strong>: The following pictures are my current airbrush set up. At the time of this picture, I did not have an additional moisture trap that is attached directly to the airbrush as the last filter for moisture. But on with the set up.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Moving left to right (sorta) the thin black hose is connected directly from the compressor. This first connection from the hose is to the water trap\/regulator setup that came with my Iwata Smart Jet compressor. I didn’t like the way the regulator worked, so I added an additional regulator set up, which is connected directly to the Iwata water trap\/regulator (the blue thingy). Now I really like the adjustment knob for this regulator, and the thing was about $20 at my local hardware store (lowes). Next is a brass quick connect plugs that joins my hose and the additional regulator. In the middle of the hose is another water trap. This is an inline water trap that is installed somewhere in the middle of the hose. I had to cut the hose then install this water trap. Finally, at the end of the hose is the airbrush connection. Again, I have an additional water trap that will be attached to the bottom of the airbrush coming; I’ll take new pictures when that item arrives. 3 moisture\/water traps may be overkill…. but getting a sudden splash of water mixed in with paints while painting sucks ass.<\/p>\n<\/table>\n

May 9, 2008: At a request from a fellow modeler, I took some pictures of my current airbrush setup since I recentely added 10 gallon tank to my previous set up. I had some trouble at first figuring out how to connect everything, but this is what I ended up doing.<\/p>\n
