Here is a media blaster made by one of the big names in air brushes. Its been around for years, its called an air eraser. It will frost or engraver glass, remove paint, or give texture to materials. Depending on the air pressure, distance from the material and what material it is used on. You can only use very fine media in this gun the small glass bead media, silicon carbide ,or other very fine media, cork, walnut shells
This is a little larger one, with the recovery bag and assorted shape rubber nozzles that can be used on larger scale models. With a little experimentation and adjusting of air pressure, and media valve opening. You can control the effect. With this one you have a larger choice in the type of media that will work in the blaster. The bag keeps a pretty good dust control on the material and what you are blasting, and can be re-used a number of times.
The speed blaster is made in a number of knock offs and imports, and most auto restoration sites or Harbor Fright or Princes Auto has them in the US and Canada. Sorry I'm not familiar with the stores in the UK or EU that would carry such items.
The air eraser can be found at or on the larger artists supply houses As Dick Blick's in the US.
