New model room

[Andy T]

Thanks guys.

That's what I'm hoping for Jim. I'm used to spreading far & wide in the shed but I'll try to do it all within the booth from now on.

My compressor has made the journey from the shed. It looks in the way in this picture but the desk is so deep that I'm nowhere near it in reality. A hose runs from it to my regulator / water trap, mounted for easy adjustment.

Pipes & wires still need tidying but I'll get to that once everything is in place.

Your space is evolving really nicely. I’ve got a very similar set up for my compressor and air line Andy, except my compressor is on the floor ninety degrees to the wall. They really don’t take up much space do they. Having the PRV mounted like that makes life very easy. I‘m sure you are already aware, but you can get airbrush stands that take the PRV as well, meaning you can store the brush alongside the air control.

5 Star luxury right there Andy. That is very nice indeed.

It's hard to make out in the previous shot but I have something like that. I think it's camouflaged by the spilled paint and I tend to bung the empty hose in one of the receptacles :smiling5:

I am looking for a nice, single desk mount though to fit in the booth. My cleaning pot would be ideal but it doesn't take trigger 'brushes very well.

Thanks Garry, now to put it to good use :smiling3:

I have that problem. If you do find a good ab holder let us know :thumb2:

I've just ordered this Jim:

A picture elsewhere shows it holding a trigger brush:



Worth a punt at the price. I'll let you know if it's any good.

That spray booth looks a lot like mine. I think there are about ten companies selling them as their one. lol- work well though.

[Jim R]

That looks good. Definitely worth considering especially at the price.

I can believe it. Just like cheap airbrushes, compressors and the like.

[BattleshipBob]

Looking superb Andy, well designed. But no doubt you will move things around a bit more. Pleased you have found a suitable booth!!

[Andy T]

Cheers Bob, and thanks for your help with the booth, it's ideal.

I did my first bit of painting in it tonight. Only a 1/72 cockpit but no complaints from the wife about the lacquer smell
I put some paper in the bottom to keep it clean but the white is far too glaring so I'll look for some black card or similar.


And yes, I'm already shifting stuff around. I've brought my favourite 2 drawers in from the shed. They look very out of place amongst all the clean & shiny gear but they are the perfect size for Mr Color thinners bottles, my slops pot & cleaning kit etc.

I've thrown some masking tape in the top one for now but it will eventually house my MRP and S M S bottles.

My wife had some non-stick plastic stuff to line the drawers in the 'fridge, an offcut of which is in the bottom of my spray booth. It's blue, very near a match for the filter. I think she bought it from Boyes.

Glad you're up and running.

They may be the perfect size but I think you'll have to look out for a new, clean, smart replacement :smiling3: :rolling::smiling3:

Thanks Pete, I definitely want something to line it with. Should help to keep it cleaner too.

I've already had the RAL colour charts out. I may take them to work and spray it all to match the booth :smiling5:

By the way, TV is already starting to annoy me, it's just too big! I may be swapping it for my son's, which is smaller and on a swivel bracket.

[Ian M]

LOL
When I set my booth up. "I'm keeping this one clean"! the only thing that really worked well was a blanket of kitchen or work shop towel but that had its issues as well.
DO NOT try wiping it down with your normal solvents/thinners. the plastic does not like it, or Tamiya airbrush cleaner (AKA Tamiya extra thin glue). LOL
I am om the lookout for a bit if 3mm frosted, hardened glass. That should be a lot easier to clean.
I use mostly Acrylics these days but there is still dust and splatter (I'm no pro sprayer lol), Spils and splats get wiped off as soon as, then its a regular vacuum to get the dust.
