Extending a booth ??

[BattleshipBob]

Yes i know its little old me again:hungry:

Has anybody making 1 350 battleships made there booths wider so the ship fits inside?

I have one of the larger booths and HMS Daring fits ok BUT ships like KGV and the like will have there bows/ sterns hanging out, into my lovely dusty garage.

Trying to think of a way i can extend the one side but also keeping it as dust free as possible with no air gaps

I have the classic Floureon booth and I know you can extend them. I am interested in what people say as k have a 1:32 Ar234 to build and I wanted to extend mine.

Mine is from Bartsharp and its the largest one they do, you can attach the same sized booth to almost double its size and i might have to do this, i can possibly feel a birthday ( early lol ) pressie coming

it doesn't have extraction, but I use this for big stuff- £15 from t'internet - it's a kids' beach shelter

I started in my flat, little room son my return home, with a B & Q collapsible plastic box . The ones that fold flat. Stick some paper on the floor roof & sides. Use your existing fan unit at the rear & there we have it a a ship's berth.

Finished fold down for next time.

A large cardboard box with the front sliced off and an opening cut out of the back for your current booth.

You'll get a larger volume to work in but still have the extraction.

EDIT: Cross posted with Laurie - a very similar principle.

Excellent, food for thought!

Also remember that the fan really only stops overspray, and does pull dust in with the airflow. For the ship being sprayed in a dusty environment it might be worth upping the ventilation and using a temporary dust shelter made from a cheap sheet used damp. It will be much cheaper than a larger booth….another option if you want something more permanent is buying a cheap or second hand kitchen cooker hood to use as the extractor, and building a large booth out of painted MDF.

Going completely off the wall, what about a pop up spray tan booth used on its side?

Bob My real want is a car spray booth. Filtration & temperature control.

Bedroom is short by a couple of feet. Sad I could sleep in the booth with filtration going all night.
No stuffed up nose in the morning.

Ah well such is this life. But if you have the room Bob. :hungry:

Go for a biological safety cabinet then Laurie. You could just sleep with your head inside, and when spraying leave it on to keep the interior as a dust free environment for your paint to dry. Trouble is they don’t come in for much south of twenty five thousand :loudly-crying:

Very very funny still giggling.

Just thinking get one I could then sleep in my wife's room (snoring solved) & gain space in my model room.
She could let me out in the morning.

Tim do you know if Amazon do them ? :hungry: :tongue-out::smiling:

Problem is the the Ebay one may have been used Tim. UN-biological you see.
Got to preserve my vintage (gee near type virginity God forbid).
