About 85mm of 12mm garden hose with a 35deg cut on one end and cut the other end to suit your cup
1 piece of MDF 19MM thick 100x150mm
Tip of a plastic clothes peg
Hot melt glue it on your done
The pro's
The wet end of your brush will dry out slower
The hose is soft so less chance of needle damage
If your nozzle leaks it ends up in the hose
Half the parts are available in your (insert offender) yard

The little blue thing right near the edge?
The next post will reveal all

great idea docThumbs Up and if you were to seal the bottom of the hose you could fill it with thinners or water(waterbased paint),it'd keep the nozzle of the airbrush clean
that's no how ye make porridge!

The little blue knob is the tappered end of a clothes peg
And when I push down on the airbrush it vents the water from the water trap it doesn't touch the blue wedge until I push down
I have made 3 of the hoses and glued them to my mobile paint stands so I don't need a bench close by to hold my brush
And your right Chris you could fill the hose. Would be very handy when stipple painting it always ends up everywhere on the nozzle

If you are wondering about the airbrush trigger I used something that I concider is in the top 3 musts for luremakers . PLC (polycaprolactone) it's common name is Polymorph 

Prototype bibs anyone?
