| Howdy Nobby,
Well, I rarely speak of this, but.......way back, years ago when i bought my first airbrush, i bought it from a "travelling hardware show" ie.. a tractor trailer full of hardware that goes from town to town.
Well, there were no hobby shops in my town at the time, much like there arent any here now, but i purchased a 10 gallon air tank, filled it at the local gas station with air and brought it back home and with a few brass fittings was able to use the tank as my "propellant" for my airbrush.
Now if you already have a compressor, you are one step ahead of me back then.
You could purchase the fittings to adapt your brush to an airtank and simply fill the airtank with the compressor you have as needed until such time as you purchase a smaller "hobby compressor".
Sometimes you have to be creative when you have a hobby. Just be sure if you go this route to only put the rated amount of pressure in the tank....you might be able to go a little above, but be careful or you could ruin the airbrush. As long as you dont exceed the rating, the airbrush should be fine though...you will just have to fill the tank every so often.
Hope this helps,
