Alex,
You should have great fun with modelling. A question like this will get a
million different respones.
>
> Enamel Paints (here, should I go Spray or bottle on some?)
Personally I us acrylic for airbrushing and enamel for detailed brush work.
> Brushes (here I got the general idea, any suggestions?)
I would recommend starting with a mid range brand (my local shop has a good
range from Poland) and once you have mastered the art and worn your brushes
a bit, buy a dearer brand
> Concerning Airbrush (Do I need a compressor? Yes, it gives a better
consistent supply and is cheaper in the medium to long run
> Pastels (should I get a set of earthtones?) Good idea but not mandatory
i
al knives? Yes get the sort with replacable head eg Xacto -most leading
brnads sell a setarter set with the key types and a range of heads.
Definetely buy a good with metal choke where the blade is attached to the
knife, not a cheap DIY brand with a plastic choke). You don';t want to ruin
a $40 kit for a 20cent blade and risk cuttign yourself i nthe process

Have fun |
