Hi Chaps,

TL;DR: Get "bored" of painting after spending hours on base coating and shading the main colour of a model. What entry level airbrush that is affordable will do me?

Looking for some advise on getting an airbrush that would, at least at the start, be used for base coating and pre/post shading. I really, really hate base coating and am unable to really use spray paint as I live in a flat so have to do a lot of it with brush work. I dont have much money to spend but do appreciate that you don't want to spend £30 on the entire set up! Now, I'm not an exceptional painter and my brushwork needs a lot of practise... but base coating really does kill me inside and I often find that I get "bored" of painting for the day after doing this so end up rushing my brush work to have at least something to show for it.

Would be great if I can maybe base coat my miniatures along with getting the main colours down with some pre/post shading and laying down the main colour after that (to perhaps get this effect without needing to layer 15 paints on http://imgur.com/iDfp7wd).

I am in the UK, so paint port of call is maybe over at www.everythingairbrush.com for the kit (need the entire shebang!).

Thanks,

Grady

What kind of issues have you noticed with the airbrushes you have?
