    EDIT: It´s called Evolution Silverline

    It´s made by Evolution, I´ll see if I can find the exact mod. number. It cost around $275 + $350 for the compressor.

    The armor is looking really good. Much respect to your skills with the airbrush my friend.

    Thanks guys!

    I'm happy with it so far. Still going to do some more misting on it and finetune the scratches before I seal it all in there though. This was my second time painting with an airbrush, so I still have a long way to go before I can say I master the art of airbrushing to any great extent. But starting with the armor is great training for when my BM helmet arrives.

    Well jeez, if that's your second attempt at it, you've already more than succeeded. I can't wait to see how this all turns out.

    I´m going to list the full set of colors I use on both my armor and helmet when I´m done with them.

    But I use Vallejo Color Air paints.

    Re: Painted armor with my new airbush!

    I´m really happy with the airbrush, it was expensive and there are cheaper alternatives, but in my mind the extra $$ was worth it for me.

    I´m getting rid of this armor though, so if anyone is interested let me know. It´s a complete set (some scrathbuilt + slave1pilot knees and MLC back, cod and butt) and a sales thread with pics will be up in the sales forums shortly.
