I'm thinking about a 2 gallon tank compressor from Home depot. $99.00.
but the CO2 tank sounds like a good option. (I'll think about it).
and its the late night painting sessions that I'm looking forward to, after the kids go to bed 
The compressor would defintely work for ya. Just remember to buy an inline moisture trap for your air line. Its a fitting that goes on your hose between the regulator and your brush. What it does is catch the water vapor that forms from the humidity in the compressed air. As the air decompresses in the hose that water vapor will condense and form little drops. What happens is as you spray you'll occaisionally get a little drop of water come thru with your air and that will mess up your pretty paint job. Splat! Bad enough if your spraying something water based, like an acrylic. But its nastier with an oil based paint, like an enamel. I hate do-overs! Moisture trap will catch those little drops and stop that from happening.
The trap isn't expensive and you should be able to find one where you bought your airbrush.

I gave up my models at least until the kids get a little older. They just aren't safe. The models I mean!:D
