You want a compressor. I got a small Makita 2-3 gallon one and it is fine. Although the compressor will likely have a regulator, I've put another in line near where the airbrush hose begins which makes it easy to adjust pressure while painting (I do alot). You can buy caps with tubes in them that will fit directly on the createx bottles (dixieart). Rod coating epoxy would work, but is probably more flexible (and therefore softer) than ideal. Devcon 2 ton, Environtex, and System Three seem to be what most people use. Buy some thinner (or airbrush medium) for whatever brand paint you use...thinning fixes alot of problems. Get a set of brushes to clean your airbrush. Good luck.
