    Got an Airbrush for my b-day

    Thanks for the info. Wayne. To be honest, I hoped that you would reply, because I look at your photos all the time. I hope to start practicing this weekend. I have a couple old engine bodies to paint after I get the basics down. I can only dream that I can get 1/2 as good as you and others here...
