Airbrushed lens hoods

Starting to pick up airbrushing,
and there was a guy in the U.K. that did some lens hoods airbrushing, but he stopped.

I’m stepping in…

Cool. Never knew this was a thing. But cool to have your own custom look for your gear.

This guy made some really nice stuff, but stopped as far as i know…

Very cool! Good luck with the new venture, let us know when you have some new designs.

Tbh, the guy that did the lens hoods got really expensive imo… He was good but not cheap so im not surprised he no longer does it… I fully appreciate the time and skill involved but…

was wondering, what was he asking for a 'simple’airbrushed lens hood?
do you happen to know that?

From memory and going back a few years now, i seem to remember it being about £75 for my sigma 600 lens hood. Obviously more if he provided the hood.

Ah ok!, lot of hours are going into making one…not yet finished with mine and about 5 hours time busy with it…
Roel.

What’s your choice of airbrush Roel ? I build scale models so, that’s why I asked.

Looking good!

Looks great although i could never do all that on mine as they get beaten up too quickly.

That’s part of the character of it I think. :slight_smile:

Moody AFB 75th FS inspired.
also for my Canon RF200-800mm

Nice man! Would be cool to paint the multi barrel gun on the hood.
