Holy crap RSEA, any chance you may be overthinking this a little?

It's not that big a decision, really. Guys on here (and elsewhere in the hobby) do great things with very modest equipment. It really isn't as complicated as you're making it out to be.

I don't think he's wrong for over thinking this. Obviously he want's more for his money and rightfully so. But.....Idefinitelydon't disagree with you about doing great things with little or cheaper. If willing, I'm sure he could work out a 50-100 dollar set up exclusive to hobby painting in general.

I always have to analyze everything. I suppose that is why I ended up with an overly engineered and complicated Tiger tank, that and the price was reasonable on it.

The big face mask was a joke guys! I wasn't considering spending $148 on a paint mask lol. I'd love to get a photo of me wearing it though while painting my tank, to post just for fun and laughs. That would be pretty awesome! lol

I'm not sure what the PSI rating is on that trap I posted. It is at the bottom of this page, is 1/4 inch and they show it attached to the bottom of a SPRAY GUN, so I would think it could handle the Makita compressor:

The one you posted, Tony, was on Amazon, but it is NOT sold by Amazon. It is sold by someone else, so doesn't that mean I would have to pay their shipping charge for it?

I see your FO King Tiger kit in that photo.. What is the status with that one Tony, are you going to build it or what? Why do you have THREE of those TC-196 compressors??

If worried about wearing a face mask then i guess your next purchase should be a spray booth i have one and it works great sucks the spray right out of the house!

Yeah, you may be right, but because there is no rating for it.....I can't be certain. But, it shouldn't be a big issue anyway...not like you're intending on running 150psi or more. I didn't realize Amazon moisture trap I linked to was a 3rd party seller....oops, lol! I have 3 plus one in the trunk for back up. I used to have to go to random sets and studios to touch up the F ups someone would create on some of my sculptures or because a client would have "after" thoughts about changes to some of the maquettes I'm contracted to do. Can't afford to have clients wait.....the artists world is a dog eat dog industry, even more so as a freelancer. When I do contract work, I usually ask for specific supplies to be included under the contract....which is one of the reasons, I end up with so many compressors and airbrushes and etc, etc..
As for the KT.....Dunno.....strongly considering, to sell it. Just don't dig the KT. I do in pictures, but up close.....just doesn't do it for me.

edit: Oh lord....Shen, don't get him started!<br type="_moz" />
