Those of you with some experience may read on and maybe leave a comment with additional, useful info. For a long time I’ve been thinking that I am still missing something here. But I could not find out what it is. Maybe because of  the amount of information and all those advises I had to go through in past two weeks about getting into airbrushing. I have extended some of my old articles that have been extensive already and I’ve totally forgotten about basic airbrush needs. Just to sum up the whole story about getting into airbrushing, there is more tools you need to begin. Some of them are optional but some are a “MUST HAVE“, according to my own experience.

Cleaning Station and Stand in One

Airbrush Cleaning Station 9

This build was born when its author read previous article Airbrush Cleaning Station. The article motivated this guy to build that station for himself and make it more useful (Sergej). My nickname is FanTom and I’m passionate scale-modeller. Before I start I just want to tell you that I said NO to plastic nor glue, just because you never know how these will react to any reducers or cleaners. So only option “glass, metal and solder“.
