Airbrush is definately the direction i want to go to, but i don't have
teh $$ right now to invest in the equipment. Likely within the year,
i'll be working with an airbrush, but so far i've been satisfied (not
delighted mind) with the brush painting i've been doing, but the results
are incosistent and nor smooth enough.

Soon i'll be airbrushing, and i'll have to relearn everything again :)

I'll be using a little thinner, esp. the humbrol paints i have, they
seem awful thick.

Thanks!
