Created with Angel Giraldez specifically for the art of painting miniatures at the highest level but with the greatest ease and control. The ergonomics are designed for high-precision work on small parts, the architecture for the simplest maintenance and the spray performance for ultimate control. It's worthy of being the first or last airbrush you'll ever buy, as ease of use and maintenance are at the heart of any great tool. If you are already a dedicated miniaturist but a first-time airbrush user, the GIRALDEZ INFINITY offers a perfect start, with no limits to development. The better the tool, the easier it is to use for all skills. The GIRALDEZ INFINITY will quickly feel familiar to a seasoned brush painter due to the radically shortened front end, keeping your hand as close to the work as possible for stability and accuracy. Equipped with a 0.2mm fineline headset and a 2ml color cup (Solo Version), you'll be ready for anything from primer to the final highlight. It is finished with our triple chrome CRplus finish for ultimate durability on all types of paintwork. Confidence in detailing is quickly built with the innovative sketching caps on the front end to understand the distance to the workpiece. They also provide visual cues to increase accuracy while protecting the needle tip. The QuickFix trigger memory system gives confidence in fine control without interrupting your workflow when you need to clean. And of course, clogs are easily kept at bay with the paint simply by pressing your finger over the needle tip, secured and guided by the shape of the wraparound sketching cap. Enjoy German quality and performance from Harder & Steenbeck along with Angel's insight and experience embodied in an airbrush designed to enable high level techniques for everyone. Finished with Angel's signature designs, it's beautiful, but like all our products, it's built to work hard first! General Information: - Triple CRplus coating for even more durability - The solo version (129504) consisting of 0.2mm air cap and 2ml paint cup, or the 2in1 version (129514) with 0.2 & 0.4mm air caps - Matching airbrush holder is available (129958) - NOTE: The 5ml paint cup cannot be used with this airbrush Design Goals: - Maximum control - Maximum accuracy - Maximum feeling - Anyone can learn the painting style of Angel's "Color Sketches" - by repeatedly pressing and releasing the lever, small bursts of spray are created, resulting in the gradual build-up of layers of color with perfect tones and a high level of detail - The miniaturist's guide to reach the results and the Giraldez level - Allows you to switch to any application with high detail The methods to achieve this goal: - Bring the artist's hand closer to the miniature - like a paintbrush - Our focus was on the special interaction between the lever and the needle - Create visual guides to facilitate targeted airbrush work - The focus is placed on the effortless movement of the lever How we achieved it: The airbrush body - The front of the airbrush is 9mm shorter than the traditional Infinity: this allows more control and a better feel for the object to be painted. The novel design of the headpiece: the Sketching Caps - Comes with the new and unique "Sketching Caps" in 3 sizes: the lower squirrel allows you to control the distance to the object and allows Angel to point out the correct distances in his instruction videos by telling you which Sketching Cap you are wearing need to use to achieve certain effects - The upper horn on the Sketching Cap provides a targeted visual aid to perfectly align the airbrush. This also provides an unrestricted view of the tip of the needle, which further increases precision when working - The tips of the needles can also be cleaned of dried paint by pinching them between thumb and forefinger to prevent clogging. The shape of the sketching cap also prevents the tip of the needle from being bent. The new lever design: - The shape of the lever and the vertical resting position of the entire lever unit are optimized so that the finger is directly above and slightly behind the lever pin; the needle movement therefore requires less pressure and is now a natural process that happens when the lever is operated - just like Angel paints - The shape of the cam is optimized for maximum feel and control during lever travel: this is to get more feel and control on detailed shades/highlights - The eccentric can no longer rotate around the lever base - it is now always in the correct position, which makes correct assembly easier - The rigidity of the lever has been increased by changing its shape from round to elliptical to ensure a more direct feel between the lever and the needle. The new needle guidance system: - The needle guidance system has been redesigned to allow maximum control and feel between the lever and the needle - and that feel is very precise - The needle clamp nut has a new design that makes it almost impossible to bend the needle tip when trying to insert the needle from the back of the airbrush and it isn't perfectly aligned. The internal construction is adapted to the cone shape of the needle and ensures that the needle tip cannot touch anything during insertion. It ensures perfect alignment of the needle before it enters the needle guide, protecting the tip. The new needle seal: - The needle seal is made of a new, low-friction material and is manufactured using a new process, resulting in significantly better tolerances. This results in minimizing friction on the needle to maximize control over the lever. - The position of the needle seal has been moved as far forward as possible and is now directly behind the paint cup to make the centering of the needle in the nozzle as stable as possible and to facilitate cleaning of all paint channels.
