Cheers all. I'm about to pull the trigger and get an airbrush. My big problem is that I don't have anywhere to paint, except in the garage. Would that be a proper area to airbrush models? If it's open, without any vehicles, is that proper ventilation? My other area of concern is that in the garage is a water-heater. Would that cause any problems regarding the fumes?

Side Question: Any airbrush kits recommended out there? I've got a $200 budget.

Depends on what youre going to spray - acrylics are generally less harmful than enamels, for example.

Just set up a box or stand fan to push the fumes out of the garage.

The stand fans I have. So then I should be good?
