Try Bras Basah Complex. There are a few art material places there. Look for airbrushes that use a bottle feed for the paint. The other component in using an airbrush is either the compressor or tank. Compressors tend to develop condensation in our humid climate and sometimes, the air being propelled out through the compressor gets "wet" and then affects the paint. I've used air tanks to spray so that the air does not get "wet", like those used by divers.

hmm thanks for the info...how much roughly does this airbrush and the compressor/air tanks cost? and for the air tanks, is it a one-time-use?

i find this website, it's really helpful on everythin regardin airbrush...

OT: there's a painted bobamaker helmet for sale over at the RPF for USD405 + shipping right now in case anyone is interested.

SgtFang's lids are very good, and affordable. I'd have gotten both his TIE and Boba lids if my collecting focus had not totally shifted recently...

maybe because of that, they call it a mystery helmet...btw how did u paint ur jango helmet ?

the blue parts are sprayed painted.
the silver parts will be polished with a silver buff. Art friends carry a brand 'goldfinger', whereas those in TDH would use 'RubnBuff' (which used to be avail at Artfriends too).

Done. Seller's name is Rich. RPF ID fettster.

They opened up for registration once in a while. The last time was Nov/Dec last year I think.
