I got a Paasche d500SR this holiday season and I'm looking to start airbrushing. Only problem is that I've never had any experience with it. Can any of you recommend, preferably videos, good tutorials?

I like vids by:

Also, while not specifically for minis, look on yourtube for any of the airbrush tutor videos...(there are many).

While painting flames on bikes or nebulae might not be the same as our craft, there are lots of good tips in some of them regarding how to hold the brush, flow control, and exercises.

Some sample exercises include things like:
paint a straight line going from thin to thick.
do it 10 times.
Paint a straight line going from thick to thin. etc.

Doing dots, big ones ,small ones etc.

things like this will help you learn your brush and improve your control.
