Whilst airbrushing recently at about 20psi, for the umpteenth time I held the brush too close to the model after I'd just laid down a nice straight line - cue the airflow blasting it to oblivion...
I then had the idea (and I dunno if any airbrush manufacturers have already done this) of designing an airbrush with a little flip down guard over the nozzle. If the trigger isn't depressed, it's down and therefore directing air out of the sides instead of forward (a bit like a muzzle brake on a gun or those clamshell door things that deploy over afterburner nozzles) - apply pressure to the trigger and the thing automatically flips up, ready for air and paint to flow!
OK, someone pay me an advance of 50k and I'll design it for them lol
good idea? Or already done?
