Airbrush Opinions?
Not your usual 'what airbrush' thread (where someone asks opinions, then chooses to ignore the majority....)
The better half has been dabbling and enjoying airbrushing, but really struggles with cramp using my Iwata Eclipse. She's got tiny hands and can't get comfortable. Anyone know of anything that's worth looking at? I have a preference for iwata, but open to alternatives. Cheers! Chris.

I have an Iwata HP CR, but find that I get cramp with that to, so I shall watch with interest, this thread.

Must be your girlie wee hands
 LOL!! I fitted one of the handle moisture traps which I'm dubious about how well it filters, but made the brush more comfortable to use for long periods. For me, anyway!

Nomes had mentioned one of the trigger brushes, but the Iwata ones were a fortune, for something that may have seen no improvement. That one looks like good value, to try out though. I don't mind paying the £ for an Iwata TR, if it is the best option!
Yon badger brush looks a whole lot different to the badger brushes I know of old! Will put the suggestions to her tonight and see how opinion lies.....

The trouble ( apparently ) with airbrushes is the way you hold them. There was another one design by Conopois who were later bought out by Rotring, these are now rarer than rocking horse sh*t, if you can find one they might cure the problem as you hold them much more like a pen or pencil.
Sorry can't get the youtube tag thing to work correctly ??? Any mods feel free to edit this so it does - ta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAL5hMtF_vA I developed massive problems with my arms, pain from shoulder down to finger, nasty. Had loads of tests done which were pretty unpleasant and it seems it was bi-cubital tunnel. Like carpal tunnel but further up the arm. It's your ulner nerve on your elbow, squeezing the spray gun trigger made it worse for me but maybe get a cheap one of those and see if it does the trick ? My friend used to use one called a Calarni http://www.graphicsdirect.co.uk/prod...mini-spray-gun They seem a bit spendy though. I've always used Iwata - great airbrushes. Got some copies of them now which are okay but not a patch on the genuine thing !
