Pistol grip for airbrush
Hi folks,
I'm new to airbrushing and don't know if other's with more experience than I have this problem. I found holding an airbrush to be very unconformable and flustrating when trying to learn to use the damm thing (lol). After suffering from terrible hand cramps performing various contortionist positions with my hand I made this and instantly saw an improvement in my mental state and painting, so thought I'd share it if anyone is interested. Easy to make. Found this stuff called Creative Paperclay at Michael's.
I simply took a rectangle of it and shaped it to fit contors of my hand and pushed airbrush into form and shaped top to curve over it to help hold A.B.in place. After drying overnight I took a very thin leather, cut pattern, and glued over the outer parts using Elmer's glue, painted exposed ends using enamel paint, and then a coat of rubber mask over that. Attached are pictures. Just a wild hair ideal!
