Ive been asked more than a few times for a tutorial on painting some of my models. Partially in line with said request I decided to try to fill a void Ive noticed in the miniature community. What I include here is based on my lessons and I am by no means an expert. I mainly am writing this so people will ask questions or point out problems. Afterall if I get more people to use airbrushes then they will get better and teach me a few things.

First off a few points.
1. An airbrush is just like a paint brush. It takes a lot of skill to use it well.
2. There are some things an airbrush is best for and some things a paint brush are best for(can also read faster for in both

2a. Scale of features(finest detail)
2b. Area to be covered
2c. Accessibility of surface(I usually assemble, paint, finish assembly, then add last bits of detail or repair)
2d. Relative skill with a paintbrush vs airbrush
