1.5.0.3 is the version of Firefox I'm using. I think its the very latest. I can't paste anything into this reply box, I have to type everything in manually or use Exploder. I was thinking of what I could do for a paint booth. I don't have too many options. I can't really paint inside the house, wife won't like that. SO I paint in the garage, normal spray paint is ok, doesn't bother me too much. But using gloss or cleat coat spray is horrendous, its super strong. I live in a townhouse complex so I can't cut holes into the wall to make an exhaust, or spray in the backyard because of neighbors and their kids/dogs which is understandable. I wouldn't want the smell either wafting around.

I love the smell of paint thinner in the morning!

Sorry, couldn't help myself

Satanshollow, It is fine if you build your model on the kitchen table, a table is a table.  As for me, I was LUCKY, my Mother had the desk and I got it was she passed,  I just put in my bedroom and I am starting my 1st model in about 14 years. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo anywhere you can build is a GOOD place :)

You have to get some pics to post

Much appreciate the info. I'll look into those items and work something out. In the window now is one of those tandem fans that can either blow or suck the air out. I have it pulling the air out. My spray booths' exhaust ports are pointed in the direction of the fan so it helps but I want one that is better sealed to keep the overspray particles from settling on my models.

Thank you

Neil

How's your dry vent situated?  It looks like you've got the one end under your window? Is the screen have a hole cut out of it?  I want to vent mine with a dryer vent but not sure how to do so?

Thanks

Neil

Looks GREAT to me Dave23. 1 thing though, where did you get that green mat from. I am looking for 1 of them.

Thanks

Bud

Yes, it's the Artograph 1530. Picked it up off the internet for $350.00. I do model building service for folks and my profit went to this purchase. It's really a nice well built unit. It's a bit noisy but it does a great job. The biggest draw back are the filters.They are a bit pricey but you can buy them in rolls. It comes with four replacements to start out.  Best investment next to a respirator I've made.

Neil

Your room looks good. I see you have a spray Booth, Hmm I going to have to get me one of them too.
