Make a curved path with the pen tool. Stroke it with the airbrush, eraser, etc. to get the highlights right.

yes,.......i think u r right
but ...there is still some difference ,the phongs tube has transparent and glass effect.
...i think he maybe use some 3d tools to reach that .

i love beatles

making something transparent is completely dependant on the environment of the object.

3d tools are certainly not necessary....photoshop is more than capable.

do a little work on it, and show us what you come up with - we'll go from there

Mine is merely an example....and yes, it would look transparent on a blue background.

'Afternoon all . . . I was reading over the posts & thought I'd throw this image in on this one. It's all PhotoShop - no plug-ins.

Have a good one . . . Mark.
