staying on subject this time  a while ago i was invloved witha thread on another forum and as ergonimics played a good part in the subject i thought maybe this could be resurected on OI the essence of the thread was for us to all come up with our own ideal airbrush design ,anything goese lazer guided outragous designs right the way down to blowing through a straw Eddy Wouters got involved as did some other highly respected artist plus the likes of me funny thing is when i got my well  es first Conopois i was astonished at just how well concieved and for want of a better description futuristic the design actualy was ,with the added bonus that every single inovation works and serves a valid usefull purpose and showed that an awfull lot of what we had come up with was already incorperated in this "old" designim all up for experimentation and tunning although sometimes i have been slammed for it but you cant have anything new if you are just content with the old well if anyone feels inclined then maybe some good ideas will come forward Paul |

this is another superb example of ergonomics combined with function and good solid engineering the name Colani is from the designer who was employed by Harder Steenbeck so in fact is actualy the only "designer" airbrush i know of on the market today. Colani also makes and designs many other wonderfull items including unusual piggy banks i have two of these and they are wonderfull to use with thier progressive action and swiveling handle which comes with spacer rings so it can be adjusted for any size hand ,it can also be easily converted for left hand use cup sizes go from micro to something like 150 ml and just screw on with lids available for all but the micro cup official set up sizes range from 0.2 all the way to 1.2 but if you change the paint seal you can easily fit the 0.15 set up off the infinty or grafo by H&S now if that isnt ergonomic i dont now what is |

Me I just want an AB that is comfy, that shoots like a dream and can change from a .01 - .05 w/inter changeable cup sizes and it go for under $100.00 plus a paint line that shoots like silk and doesn't involve donating a kidney to get 4 + ounces of it

you dont want much do you LOL the airbrush you want is the harder &steenbeck focus ,i think you can buy it the states for well under $100 and setups range from 0.15 to 0.6 with interchangable cups from micro to 150ml ,spares are dirt cheap the guns are realy nice with soft action plus instant paint responce if you go a few more doller that Colani has multiple options fro 0.15 all the way to 1.2 ,suction pots and various size cups from micro to 150ml as for the paints then try AA Autoborne there yah go mate just call me your fairy godmother hehepaul |

I could do with something like a neck clamp with a motorized arm on it that helps me to smoke my ciggy therefore leaving both my hands free to work, saving me time so I dont have to stop and leaves my fingers smelling cleaner...or is that jus silly |
