I just started modeling dioramas 2 years ago and left it...then came back. im just about finished with my first diorama that is not very good. But i would like to know would it be better to save up for an airbrush...or make one of the homemade ones? im only 14 so i dont have much money.

Save for the airbrush.
A good single action is pretty reasonable in this day and age.
Try websites to find good prices you won't be sorry at all.
You will never turn back once you do.
14 a good age to learn the use by 17 an expert.
Welcome aboard.

I have one of these. It works fine.
For info on learning how to get started, check out your LHS, book store, or art supply store for books for beginner airbrush painters. Also check online, esp. here.

Hi,

Since money is an issue, consider getting an airbrush at Hobby Lobby or Michaels, if you have either near you. Both stores have 40% off coupons every week or every other week. You could use the coupon and get a pretty good airbrush at a very reasonable cost.
