You should be able to get an inline regulator, it will have a built in water trap and you can adjust the air that way, those things on the front of the airbrush that adjust the pressure aren't very good ( well they weren't very good on the one's I've used anyway ). Regulators at the base of this page http://www.everythingairbrush.com/ac...AS_Series.html

Paint wise, get some celulose thinner, get some bottles from Jon, or a pipet dripper type thing, spray aerosol into airbrush cup, drip in a few drips of thinner, mix it up with your brush, spray out the first bit as it won't mix down to the tip, once you've got some paint through you'll see it's thinner and will spray much better

I spent out on a Roland STX-7, really good cutter, my mate picked up a Craft Robo for about £100 from ebay, less than a quarter of what I paid and it cuts everything just as well as mine does. As long as you can drive the software to use it you'll not regret getting it !
