I have been on the look out for one of these ever since @2Diverse posted about his Here

This one popped up on the bay and I took the plunge and made an offer

Firstly, here is why you always check the needle before You start to strip the brush!


After a quick fettle with some smooth nose pliers it straightened out much better, I will give it a good shaping and polish later.




First job was to fit a few parts from a cheap chinese brush, The crown cap was missing so that was fitted and also fitted an airvalve to turn it into a double action brush, both parts fitted fine
Heres a quick spray test before any cleaning or any more work done on the needle! I will give Her a strip down and clean later

Very nice! I have a the Bakery Craft which seems identical. I used it with food coloring in the airbrush seminar.

Congrats bro.

I contracted AAD from a KopyKake.

There is one of these available for 25. Are these brushes worth having?

 

[Wizard_Theron]

I think they are great, and fantastic value.

All i needed to know. Thank you. For the price it seems like something to not pass up.

Go for it! I used mine with food coloring (they don't let me spray automotive paint, nor light campfires in indoor venues) in the airbrush seminar I did so the participants could try it writing their names.

Some people have no sense of adventure!

I didn't know Kopykake did brushes too; I think it's one of their projectors I've got.
Pretty much obsolete now (although so's the camera lucida I bought last month, kind of).
