>ask the /tg/ 3dpg for painting tips
That's what I needed. I wasn't sure what board I'd find something about painting figs.
>yes it'll be more than $100 but you may actually get a working machine instead of wasting $50 on a cheap one that'll break or clog before you figure out how to use them
Chinese 180 series under different brands come for like 20$.
Besides I figured out it'd be decent idea to have 2 airbrushes anyway. Imagine you finish painting with one color, have to flush cup, you use different color and then you either fucked up or you just want to fix something using previous color and you have to flush cup and brush again. Or for different type of paint that is more likely to clog airbrush.
>airbrush only helps in certain techniques if you want to actually learn to paint minis
I'm not interested in minis. Minis are apparently like ~3cm tall. At that size I imagine you'd use airbrush only for primer or to cover most fig in one color, like some fully armored one, and then use normal brushes for details.
Anime resin kits are much bigger, ranging from like 16-25cm tall, and come in parts which are supposed to be in one color. Pic related. For stuff like this airbrush is perfect and can paint most of it, leaving you only few small details to paint with regular brush.

That's why I plan to make thicker walls and polish them with sandpaper. I've read a bunch about this hobby and people have to finish garage kits anyway before painting them.
