I’m puckering and unpuckering with excitement!

[Khai]

hmm going to be interested to see if you do the Knurling on the adjustment rings… and how you do that…

[TheOnlyAaron]

Uh yes! There will be knurling! …and maybe some knolling… Maybe a little curling, too…

[andybster]

I actually own one VERY similat to the pictured one - they’re about 7 inches ;ong if that helps you with a base point? Also, the paint cup holder is about an inch in diameter!
(Higher res. image too!)

Also, found this “monster” sized image with better angle to help figure out shapes etc.?

ABK Always be Knolling!

[RTCool]

Is this the one you just bought?

[TheOnlyAaron]

Oh no… I’m just learning… my airbrushes come in at around $20 each…

[andybster]

Here’s where I managed to get after about half an hour. Then had to eat! Now, waiting to see how you get on Aaron!

Knurling on the cap at the end.

FWIW, diamond knurling looks like this:

The diamonds are turned effectively 45° to the way yours are shown.

[MichaelSiggers]

How on earth have you done that?! You’ve even got it to blend/fade into the main body like it does in real life.

[DaveR]

Michael, I’ll probably need to make a tutorial to show how. It isn’t very difficult to do the part where the knurling runs out.

[DaveR]

Michael, if you are interested, I’ll send you a little thing I prepared on how I modeled the knurling. There doesn’t appear to be any other interest, though.
