To the original poster...Even though your setup was effective, I highly discourage using a "shop compressor" or some gas station air supply. Most of the time those compressors are oil lubed and the air coming from them is saturated with oil vapor which will destroy your paint job before it even hits the model. ask me how I know this. I did the exact thing you were talking about when I was about 14, it worked effectively, but riding my bike a mile to and from the local gas station carrying a "spare air" tank was getting really old really fast. I went to sears like THE DAY I got my driver's license and bought a 12 gallon Craftsman oil-less compressor for $160 and I've been using it for over 20 years now problem free...though the tank has gotten quite rusty inside and out over the years...but that's what moisture traps are for (I use 3 on my rig, one on tank, one on table and one on gun. the ones on the tank and table are dual moisture/debris filters and the one on the gun is a harbor freight pistol grip filter...LOVE IT!)

Wow, that fridge compressor is really cool! i've thought about doing that since I heard of it, but this is the first one I've actually seen!

I don't want to jack this thread, although the original question was answered by the same person asking the question...I was hoping a new thread on this and possibly a detailed how to may come of it. I would LOVE to ask some questions about it.
