Andrew A. Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 OBTW Jamie , I know you have a Chez Michael`s House of Crazy Crafts in the GTA,check out thier flyers.Michael`s often has 50% off coupons.You may be able to snag yourself a good deal on a Badger of your choice. Wow, Paul! That 360 sounds très cool! I will have to take a gander at that whacky discount place known as Mikey's! Thanks to you and Mike V. for the info. I don't mind one bit using glass jars. If that is the only drawback to this airbrush, I would go for it! Take care, guys. J.C. Thanks for the info all- one clarification, even if the Anthem only has one nozzle option, this is OK for modeling? I would have thought that being able to select a fine tip as with the Crescendo would be better. Just curious. J.C.- hope your local Michael's carries the 360, mine only has the 100,150,Anthem and Crescendo.... ;) Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeV Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Andrew, A single tip and needle works great for modeling as well as other forms of artwork. I use an Omni 4000 mostly for modeling and it will spray a 1mm line up to one about 1.5" wide. The Anthem is about the same and is an excellent airbrush. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul T Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I agree with Mike V.The Anthem 155 is a single needle ,easy clean airbrush.Great for very fine lines and wider patterns. FWIW : I can clean my Badger 150 (stripped down) in 10 -15 minutes. I do this once a month...and I use it every day... I just spray lacquer thinner through it after each session . No Fuss !!

MikeV Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I agree Paul. It is not necessary to take it apart after each use. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 J.C.- hope your local Michael's carries the 360, mine only has the 100,150,Anthem and Crescendo.... Andrew Well...... It gives me a reason to get out and have a look, anyway. ;) Jamie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Apollo Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hey All-Getting a lot out of this thread as I'm kicking around buying a Badger (as mentioned, at the Michael's discount). Can anyone clue me in as to what the significant difference is between the Anthem and the Crescendo? I've checked the site and I can't really see anything besides the handle config. The Crescendo is about $10 more expensive, can't figure out why. Mr Apollo- what moisture trap / regulator do you have? I have a diaphragm type compressor as well and would like to fit a regulator- but have heard it can't be done Cheers all Andrew OK, I had a look at it and found a name. It's by a compnay called Taiyo International Corporation. I couldn't find a picture of it, but I found a picture of the regulator and filter as two seperate pieces. Just put the regulator on top of the filter and you have what mine looks like. There's a pressure gauge built into the regulator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
