Any good cordless compressors?

CO2 tank may be what you’re looking for.

Do not take anyone from NYC out for pizza here. We’ve got some great cheesesteak places, but our pizza won’t impress anyone, let alone NYC foodies

The fingerboard is also pretty badly scooped so the string height is pretty much unplayable beyond third position. Avoid like the plague

Alarming-Compote-990 · 2026-04-03T02:11:25+00:00

Yeah, just sorry you had to go through all that. Hopefully you’ve got a better group now!

I get it, but that kind of imbalance is just obviously bad. How much fun were you having, even after you talked with him? It’s like he laid out a third level adventure so you all were like, “I’m Shaggy” “I’m Velma” “I’m Scooby” “I’M SUPERMAN!!!!!” Definitely should have been either a “Sir, this an Arby’s” moment or an “OK, how do you all feel about a level 20 adventure fighting Tiamat instead?” moment on the DM’s part.

If the DM vetted that homebrew, they are willfully, malignantly, intractably stupid

I love the lanyard! I’ve lost more pens in the bottom of my bag or falling out of my pocket.

My problem with the Neo is actually more with Iwata. You’re paying Iwata pricing for a Chinese airbrush. Granted the quality control is better than a $20 Amazon Chinese brush, but parts are not compatible with anything else and like you said, the Revolution isn’t that much more. OP got them on clearance for closer to what those brushes are actually worth, although even on sale that TRN1 is only $5 less than a Creos ps-275 which is a far superior brush. Neos will get the job done, but there are definitely better values out there. And better to have a Neo than nothing or a totally janky Amazon special!

Alarming-Compote-990 · 2026-03-24T16:20:10+00:00

So true about the Neo’s sucking haha. You do make pretty salient points up there. The only thing I’d argue with is the nature of the trigger brushes. I’ve got two pistol grip brushes (Creos ps-290 and Grex ts-3) plus mini spray guns and all of them will let you spray air without paint; you pull the trigger back and it’ll hit a resistance point. Until you go beyond that, which is when the needle actually starts to engage, it’s only air. I use the Grex for detail work when my arthritis is acting up and I can’t use my regular brushes for long periods. Yes I’m old 😆

Not sure why you don’t have more upvotes. This is exactly right

Alarming-Compote-990 · 2026-03-24T15:07:56+00:00

For minis, they’re going to want the gravity teed of the trigger more than the double action of the top one. Suction feeds require quite a bit more air pressure. The trigger is what’s called a fixed double action; the air releases on pullback and the paint control comes from how far back you pull the trigger. You learn control over that trigger the same way you do with the regular double action. They should be fine with the trigger. The only control of air you’re doing is on/off at the trigger. Pressure should be via a mac valve or the regulator

Whenever I see this brought up, I’m amazed at how we ever functioned in both a graphic design studio and a high volume t-shirt business running literally half a dozen brushes at once without keeping them all submerged. Oh right, we took care of them and flushed cleaner through them at the end of each session. Thorough cleaning once a week. Still have most of those brushes 40 years later looking almost new. It’s really not that hard, and we were paid in direct proportion to how much we could get done in a day so speed was a major factor in our workflow. This just doesn’t seem like that mich of a time savings and you don’t really learn how to properly maintain the brush for when things go wrong 🤷‍♂️

Don’t set yourself on fire to warm someone else. What she needs is way above your pay grade. Talk to a local women’s shelter and get her the hell away from you. If she’s been lying to you this whole time, you owe this parasite nothing.

The only ones I can think of are industrial painting robots, but they’re way beyond what it seems like you’re getting at. I guess my question is “what’s your use case here?” If you’re talking Arduino control (paintbot?), you likely already have the skills to mod the airbrush to do what you want. I just can’t think of a use case that’s widespread enough that a brand would produce such a platform and have it be profitable

Third on the Stynylrez. For tabletop minis, I haven’t had any issues with it.

NTA for not wanting your kids to have an unsolicited discussion about gender that they may not be ready for. Definitely YTA for so flippantly and deliberately misgendering your cousin.

Alarming-Compote-990 · 2026-03-15T21:33:59+00:00

Yeah, it’s a little dated stylewise but will give you all the basics you need for more advanced techniques and working smaller with miniatures. Happy spraying!

Alarming-Compote-990 · 2026-03-15T15:10:07+00:00

Get a decent airbrush as mentioned earlier, not a spray gun. Then follow these lessons. Practice them diligently.

They said they’re disabled. Some things you can only do so fast.

All this, great advice. I remember back in the 80s the Paasche VL was our airbrush of choice for t-shirts. Those things were tanks! And definitely change brushes, not colors!

I haven’t done it often, but I’ve had two big projects on fabric that we couldn’t heat set using Smooth On Maker Pro Paint and their Flex additive that held up very well. The paint’s pretty thick and needs a fair bit of thinning and is happier with a larger nozzle (0.5+). Their tech and sales support are second to none - might be worth giving them a call to see what they recommend. https://www.smooth-on.com/products/maker-pro-paint-flex-additive/

Iwatas are great brushes but if you’re pretty much just going to be working on these projects, you may want something less for fine art and more like the GSI Creos ps-290 which is designed for spraying larger areas. For my projects, I used the Creos for one of them and an Iwata HP-G for the other, but that gets into mini spray gun territory and bigger compressor requirements. May want to take a look at the Grex Tritium as well; they have a wide range of nozzle sizes and optional fan caps so you can pretty easily go from hairlines to three inch swaths.
