Saltydog, here's an airbrush you would like

now that, my friend, is what i call an airbrush!!! seriously, it looks like it would be comfortable, easy to clean, and do they make a pink one? maybe a cammo one. thanks for the heads up mike. later.

He'd just lose it!!!!!

They are cool looking ... do they come in any other colors? I'm not real big on purple.

Now that was funny!

I think that is the only color they make. They are German engineered so I would expect high quality as there are few people who engineer things as good as the Germans.

Actually it is more of a spraygun than an airbrush I think.

Mike

how pricey is that work of art for works of art?

I saw them online for $146 British pounds so that would be $259 U.S. dollars.

Mike

Yikes! It's cute but it isn't THAT cute! You're right though, it's hard to beat German engineering and manufacturing. For that price I could live with an "Inferior" product

that hurts guys, that really hurts!!

What the. . . . . , Is that really an airbrush MikeV? It's a beauty for sure? But with the price, I would wait for a few months, and maybe Taiwan will make a copy on it and sells at a cheaper price. (Joke only)

Yes it is a real airbrush and yes it is a work of art isn't it?
Here is the info about it from their web site:

I wonder if my wife would get me one for Father's Day?
Yeah right!!!!

Mike

The Germans, may be great engineers, but fashion their sense has always been open to question.

That brush justs goes to prove it!

I mean, would you want to be seen with that in hand!!!!!!!

Thought not.

Hello, New World german-airbrushes admirators.

First, you can get Colanis much cheaper, be it on german ebay or at a very fine shop in Belgium ( http://www.obeeliks.com )

Second they are intended to make artwork on bikes, cars, trucks, etc and they can even come with 0.15 mm needle and nozzle up to ... ouf

Third they are not heavy at all ( around the weight of a metal airbrush)

Fourth did you know that you can adjust the handle to your hand ( yes sir )

Fifth as to design, take a look at other Luigi Colani designs for he made a lot of things including a truck

One day, I'll get an Omni 4000 and an Iwata AND a Colani

Me too MikeV. Since its almost mothers day, I think I might give here a present with a picture of the Colanis in the wrapper stating its my wish list on Fathers Day.

MikeV and Salt, is it me or is the trigger i located at the right hand side of the airbrush and not on top.

QUOTE: Originally posted by sigman MikeV and Salt, is it me or is the trigger i located at the right hand side of the airbrush and not on top.

Yes it is. It is ergonomically designed so that your wrist is in a relaxed position as you grip it I believe.

I read on their web site that it is reversible for left-handed users.

that seems to be a cool airbrush but im like mike is towards iwatas, i dont think its worth the money for me to have it for modelling. later.

Looks cool, but I'll stick with my hp-cs after seeing the price!

QUOTE: Originally posted by ArmorMaster Looks cool, but I'll stick with my hp-cs after seeing the price!

For that price I could buy another Omni and an Iwata as a backup!

Guys, you don't listen to Uncle José. Colanis sell around 160 Euros which is a little less than 200 $, less than a Omni 4000 and a HP CH ( okay, okay now I only need the Colani as I purchased the two others; after all, it is like having a weapon collection, and I don't like weapons)

i think i will like the tamiya trigger type more... i like that airbrush, and the eclips g6, and the badger 400 (Seriously) but man, thats expensive. you could buy the g6 and a badger!

1337,
I am really interested in buying the Tamiya HG Trigger Type. Any Inputs plz?

QUOTE: Guys, you don't listen to Uncle José. Colanis sell around 160 Euros which is a little less than 200 $, less than a Omni 4000 and a HP CH

uh..........i paid alot less than $200 for my omni, hp-cs, and hp-c. my omni 5000 was $69, hp-cs $105, and hp-c $129. dixieart.com, check it out. later.

Sig, i said i like it, think the normal hg but with a trigger. l33t!!!

Since it is tamiya (japanese quality, made w/ iwata in the factory) i say go for it. I personally cannot get it, cause of shipping and parts cost ($23 for 1 needle) ($159 ) (my badger cost $60)

Torio strikes back : you can get the Colani at http://www.fi-sh.de for 119.90 Euros which is around 145 $
Saltydog, remember I live in France Omni 4000 cost me roughly 82 $ at Coast airbrush, cheaper than Dixie , most cheaper than Bear Air, and a lot cheaper than what I found in Europe. As for Iwata, I said HP CH ( roughly 190 $ from ebay) all these prices include p&p.
In Germany, I found an HP CH for 280 Euros ( around 338 $ ).
Well, chaps, I must leave you as I've got to assault several old ladies at the post office door to buy a Colani. Hope they have ADSL in jail. ( or should I stay honest and wait a little ? hmm, that sounds good to me)

1337, I just called up my LHS and they said that they can sell me the Tamiya trigger type at $105.

Jose, can't understand the language of the website that you refering to. How about the price and the availability of the parts of Colanis?

thats cool my friend. later.

Hey sig, where do you live? i need one, you think you could help me? . gimme an email, i_r_rule@hotmail.com. thanks dude.

Oh i have an excuse for the trigger type: I am taking graFIX soon.

Okay, chap, let's see what we can do as I only know 14 words in German;

_ home page : click on the left on "online shop"

_second page : click on the left on "airbrush"

_third page : in the middle " farben" means "paints", "kompressoren" means..."compressors" ( you see, you're going to speak German in one lesson with Professor Torio tuition), "spritzpistolen" means " airbrushes" ( and maybe "sprayguns") and "zubehör" means " accessories"; let's bet you click on "spritzpistolen"

_fourth page : you choose your brand ( in the case of Colani it's "Harder & Steenbek" )

_fifth page : Colani is at the bottom of the page, you just choose your needle and nozzle set, you put the "spritzpistole" ( you'll notice here it is a single spritzpistole unless you want zwei oder drei spritzpistolen) into your basket, up to checkout, and En voiture, Simone

Don' t ask me further as I just purchased an Iwata and a T & C so I'll have to wait a little to discover the payment page of fi-sh.

Hope this will help.

PS I don' t know what your national money is but you can know the parity with Euros at http://www.xe.com
