Anyone have an experience with the harbor freight air compressors? from what I see on their website they don't have the fancy regulators. I really need a quiet, cheap compressor.

Theres a diference between silent and quiet, the compressor at work is small but you can't have a conversation in the same room as it, I don't want that. Something around 65 dBs (conversation level) so I can run it out on my balcony and not annoy my neighbors.

I just averted ruining a perfectly shaded model while I was washing/weathering and panel lining, It has a future coat (maybe its not thick enough?or still not fully dry?) and I was using a simple water/acrylic/tiny bit of FF wash to start. At the beginning it was working fine then as I went on (working in patches) I started having to rub real real hard to get the excess off, finally it got to where no amount of rubbing would remove the excess. So now I have a fairly decent sized part of my model that I have to repaint and I dunno what I did wrong some parts the wash went totally through the ff coat, and into base coats.

its already repainted, I'm just going to get some cheap oil based paint,no risk of it touching future and I can wipe on wipe off forever with turpentine.

it also depends on the paint I've had some bad reactions with isopro and Vallejo game color at least for use in an air brush. Also I went and did a enamel wash on the model I almost ruined, worked nice but what do I use for a final satin/dull coat?

Here's my first model and first time using an air brush, still needs a dull coat and I'm trying to decide if I'm done weathering it. Not concerned with color accuracy or scale to much just learning/refining techniques.

I just chuck a needle into my pin vise or use the back of an xacto blade that the very tip has been broken off of for scribing. Anyways taking closeups only shows me more areas where I need to work on improving. 1/48th scale
