OK, those of you who read my "Have this ever..." string some days ago allready knows what this topic will be about.

Here is the story: Yesterday I was going to test out some camoflage patterns on a old model wich had been scrapped years ago, but still kept as a training object. I mixed the paint, listen to some good tunes on the radio, and basically had a good time. Then I cranked up my 12 year old compressor (sounds and smells like an early, very tired, Russian T-55 with the wrong fuel) and got ready to paint. So far so good, everything was normal.

Suddenly the compressor made a sound wich sounded very expencive and my airbrush got sick, and threw up. My compressor had done some strange things in the past, so I was not especially worried. "Probably something wich can easily be repaired", I thought. Yeah Right! So, today, during lunch break at work I called the company were I bought the compressor several years ago. Unfortunally they had a new sales man who was smooth as silk, and really knew his stuff. This is the result:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!!! I never learn.





Have a nice weekend.

Erik

Is that a H&S "Evolution" brush?
Don´t be angry then .... all your worries are over! Theres an item called a quick-fix that goes on the end where you can control the paint flow. I may not be as smooth as silk ... but its worth every penny or öre! Good choice ... call it an investment.
