Description
Seventh in a series of airbrush art (this version done in color, the first in grayscale) I used while seeking a technical illustrator/graphics artist job/jobs way back in the 20th century. This, along with several others, was done in the early 1950s, applied on art board, using a real airbrush with thin paints, attached to either a compressed air tank or to a motorized air compressor. I doubt if many of you were around back then to participate in or witness this art genre. The above was executed not only with an airbrush alone, but also using pen and ink, plastic templates and masks. A steady hand and a delicate touch is the name of the game.

This is one of your best airbrush images. Love this cutaway version. Shadows , reflections , bevels and precise cuts. It truly looks like a functional flow restrictor . Nice work overall !
another fabulous brushed construction 😀
Ditto both comments above. Your son must know a lot about these things: By contrast, I wouldn't know a "functional flow restrictor" from an acorn, lol. (I'm woefully ignorant of this type of thing.) And he knows your quality too. Like another piece you posted, this too has multiple, varied surfaces; and you've captured the varied surfaces with total ease. It's also nice to see that brass hue against a kind of yellowish gray for the other. And the threads on the left are also very well done...and you know how to vary from total black shade to light gray. Also, a fine dark beige for the background. It gives the piece real warmth. (British Khaki is a rich olive; whereas American khaki is more beige. Your dark beige is closer to British Khaki than American.) Beautifully done.
This looks really fantastic. Light and shadow look great :)
