Why did you buy your airbrush?
Easier than using a brush.
Faster than using a brush.
Same reason I own a dremel, it's more tools in the arsenal
Because they're awesome in everyway!
Don't own one yet.

There seems to be a lot of debate and questions about airbrushes on the forums lately and tons of people asking for suggestions on what to buy. I figure a poll will help draw some attention here, but I would encourage users to place resources, guides and anything else that might be helpful on this topic.

Here's a couple that I've found useful:

A guide on what to buy from Matheiu Fontaine, if you doubt his credibility, look at his bio. This man can paint. http://www.akaranseth.com/blog/tutorials/airbrushing-for-figurine.htm
Scalemodelmedic. Some great Airbrush Tutorials, zenithal lighting tips, etc. : http://www.youtube.com/user/ScaleModelMedic
From the Dakka archives of articles. This tutorial is awesome and does a great job of going over the benefits and limitations of airbrushes. The results pictured are quite stunning too! http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Zenithal_Airbrushing%2C_OSL_and_Snow_and_Ice_Tutorial%2C_subject_-_Grey_Knight

Is there anything that's helped you?

There are also good books on the subject available at most hobby shops. Kalmbach Publishing is good for the most informative ones. As to what you posted your first link did give me some ideas as to improve my technique and a new brush to add to my tool box.. I checked out the other articles on the site and I have it bookmarked for future use. Thanks for the post.

No problem. Hopefully this can actually become a useful resource.
