i think the trick is to start with a smaller investment, instead of starting with airbrushing, start with hand painting, and if you invest a significant enough amount of time into it you have a much better excuse for jumping straight to nicer equipment, personally, i have a rule that i don't buy the "cheapest" equipment, i buy nice equipment that I need

Just to clarify, I am at the point where I have hand painted for years :) The next step is continue to improve brush control, and perhaps airbrush

seems like a good enough excuse for me. :)
