Question: I'm looking to start with airbrushing my small scale models.

As there's something with forest and trees: I need advice.

Any tips for a decent airbrush gun, accessories & compressor for someone who is just starting?

If it matters: my models are rather small (1:87 and 1:32 train models) and I won't be doing square meters..

Note: am cheaparse so not looking to break the bank.

Thanks!

Layla's done! I might've... summoned an elder god with how much swearing I did in tongues too ancient to have names while I was trying to get the legs on, but we won't worry about that for now.

Included is a picture of the A sprues for comedic effect: I wasn't looking to recreate the exact colour scheme from the box and wound up only using a single grey piece from that sprue.

This model's pretty fragile so I don't know how much life she'll have off the shelf now.
