So I posted this last week. A paint job someone did of these Touhou busts. Not the best, but a better job has been done!

>>	Pygmalion !rNk8s6TM.Q Fri Mar 6 03:42:14 2009 No.2191812 Much better indeed. Thanks for these.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 6 03:45:14 2009 No.2191820 How much will everything I need to start airbrushing cost?

It's cheap if you're thinking of the better ones that need an air compressor but you can buy more cheap hobby ones that just attach to a small compressed air canister.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 6 03:55:14 2009 No.2191857 >>2191851 >just attach to a small compressed air canister. Sounds limiting. Like the canisters would eventually overshadow the price of a compressor.

>>	Your Candid Fr !eND/xfY3lY Fri Mar 6 04:00:14 2009 No.2191869 >>2191857 Most likely. But with most things like this, investing in a large expensive machine to only do one or two things is silly; meant only for people who will really be doing it on a regular basis.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 6 04:04:14 2009 No.2191880 >>2191872 Yeah, I think I'll take the $40 kit. It would come with everything needed to get started, correct? I would just need paint?

>>2191880
Yeah, it's not of the highest quality but it should come with a small air can, the air brush, a hose, a jar or two. Searching air brush canister kit or something should yield some Amazon or ebay results!

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 6 04:11:14 2009 No.2191896 >>2191890 Thanks. But I think I'm getting ahead of myself. As I have nothing to paint. Then again, that's getting even more ahead of myself, because I wouldn't have the necessary skills to paint a fig.

>>2191820
about $90 for a good brush. and you will need a small compressor and a moisture trap (well its not needed, but I definitely suggest it). Canister kits suck badly unless you know how to attach a moisture trap to it, and even then you will wind up running up a good bill on cans pretty fast.

Also, airbrushing is only really good for large areas, for something like eyes you will still want to go by hand. Same for any other details. You can get fast blending results with one as well, but it looks very poor compared to a proper job done with an actual brush by hand (which doesn't take nearly as long as people will make you think it does (if you are doing it right)).

>>	Utsu !HIMEenpL0M Fri Mar 6 13:24:14 2009 No.2193665 >>2192471 Some are pretty limited, more popular ones show up on ebay (mostly as fake kits, though) or yahoo japan auctions. Also what's that? Looks nice.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 6 13:28:14 2009 No.2193678 >>2192471 I brought some from Mandarake. They have an international online store, so you might find them there if you keep checking.
