What got you started?
– I saw great custom transformers 3 years ago and I was pretty amazed that we people could make own toys look so cool and I thought I would be awesome if I can do it. So, I started with painting the toy with brush, then I went for spray can and it was not enough so I went for a beginner airbrush (the single trigger one). After some trials and errors, I want to achieve more beautiful work, so I went in town to buy a nice airbrush kit and since then I have been enjoying more and more to produce quality work (and that airbrush is almost broken but it works just fine for me)
