The Kins posted:Dumb question: Has anyone here ordered anything from overseas while all this was going on? Been thinking of buying some stuff from a UK-based website but if there are additional restrictions that make that a massive pain in the arse beyond just delays than I'll just turf the idea entirely. There are bugger all planes flying so it's mostly just delays because of that. Options are limited to surface based transport from some countries. I ordered some stuff from the US via Amazon a couple of weeks ago and it was a little slower but nothing too terrible. I'd imagine Amazon have more resources than most tho. On the other hand I am waiting for my quarantinnie carton from just over an hour away and it's running about a week late.

I guess I'll try and stick to stores with an Aus presence for the next little while. Thanks for the help! I just remembered that I ordered a book from the UK about a week ago. The site said 10-15 days delivery. We'll see how optimistic that is.

They're really simple to work with and clean and don't have the same tiny nozzle parts that generally get broken on other brushes. I don't know what compressor to recommend since I just use my big arse 50L workshop compressor. Just make sure you get one with a tank. This one is probably fine, I dunno really: https://www.metrohobbies.com.au/col...g-tank-oil-free

Caesar Saladin posted:I wanna buy an airbrush but its a frightening purchase that i don't wanna screw up I'd recomend asking in the scale modeling thread in DIY. they where super helpful when I got mine. Just keep in mind there's stacks of americans in there and they'll you to buy a badger which is an alright airbrush but isn't a cheap option in Australia.

If you're not a fan of emptying the garbage out of the accumulator get a dry-air compressor. Used ones from dentists are usually alright.

Dr. Garbanzo posted:...americans... Fightin' words... It looks like they can be had for $150-200 though which is a decent price. Locally Sparmax seems to be the brand of choice. The parts are more easily available for them as well. Metro Hobbies has them. I can also personally recommend Mr Hobby airbrushes. Not sure what the availability is like locally though.

Good lord every goon has an airbrush. I'll look at all the ones you dudes mention and have a look at the scale modelling thread and some youtubers and order one this weekend. I can justify the purchase of a brush and compressor with all the weed money I saved this month.

I ended up getting a paasche talon instead of a badger brush and I've been fairly happy with it so far tbh. I got it through this site https://www.hobbytools.com.au/air-brushing-compressors/air-brush-compressor-kits/ cause their prices where pretty good. Also I didn't see your post bill

I ordered an A1 print art piece of the Mayan calendar a while back but it's AliExpress so who knows when it's actually gonna show up. Allegedly it left China 2 weeks ago Also shoutout to Visible Stink for the heads up about cheap prints on AE for decorating a house Who's cooking what for themselves today? I made Mexican yellow rice (saffron rice) in the instant pot, pot beans in the instant pot, and have some chicken in chilmole sauce in the oven. Should last the next week or so no dramas
