hey, i love my aztec 470 as well, but i warn, you need practice before you get the good results like some of the stuff here. i started with a single action badger airbrush and it was to start with. but i would say i wished i started with a double action like the 470, different techniques for both, i say if your patient the double action will pay off in the long run. and if you want a more "durable" metal body brush aztech just released a metal body in the 470 design. its product number is A7778 and comes with the full range of accesories for azteck airbrushes. :-) next problem is an airsupply, i recommend a compressor with a receiver. the receiver will end the pulsing effect ou get with most compressors, i got my compressor at sears and it' a big one but there are some at walmart that have receiver attached for less than $100. the nice thing about my craftmen compressor is i can run more than one brush at a time, but at the cost of about $250, so its up to you. good hunting stug
