The Joys of Air Brushing.

Hello All:

	Well, I finally broke down and bought my own air brush.  Just
this
evening I made my first attempt at painting something with it.	The
subject was a 25mm Demos grav tank that I've been sitting on since Gen
Con.  After giving the model a black undercoat, I decided that I would
paint the tank U.S. green with olive drab tiger stripes.  Following the
directions in the cheap airbrushing guide I picked up, I started with
the lighter color (olive drab) and gave the main hull a coat of olive
drab.  Tomorrow, I'll mask off the stripes, and then spray of the
green.	Needless to say, it was a lot faster than using a traditional
brush and (despite the clean up) was a lot more fun.

	If all goes well, it should be quite a striking model.	If
not... my
tank will be getting a Formula 409 bath.  In the meantime, does anyone
have any over all tips or suggestions about air brushing figs?
