First thanks.  The photo studio is actually easy. It is a shelf which is 16" deep. The background is cloth is hung in a curtain rod. The sheer white fabric for diffusers are stretched onto a wire frame.  Work perfect for models.

Nice studio redleg. A dedicated photo area is one thing I really would like. After seeing yours and Ernest's, I think I will have to sort one of those.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

The work are lighting is awesome as is the supply area and wall full of models waiting to be ripped into. Redleg you have it going, very professional, as soon as I'm done here I want to check out your finished gallery. Very impressed...

The Soleil Royal is looking Majestic ;)

As it should!

I have a couple of Vasa pictures, quality might be so-so but they are in your email as soon as I am back home.

Very Best Regards

Hi Terry,

Now should I be embarrassed or not...

What the heck!
You don't have any plants Wink

How is the Vasa coming along?

Very Best Regards

https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/105.gif  Ok, imagine a stainless steel kitchen sink and the kitchen counter around it. 

https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif Put the compressor and airtank under the sink with the airbrush hose coming up through the vacant washer/sprayer hole in the sink. 

 Airbrush easy use, easy clean https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/13.gif 

 Add a large piece of glass on the counter top https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/9.gif

and put it all in a mobile home down south.

https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/114.gifThis is my Disaster area.

It also doubles as my photo area  http://yoursmiles.org/psmile/photo/p0711.gif

Thanks you for your kind comments Big Smile
Very cool and workable photo corner Ernest, by the looks this could be achieved on a reasonable budget as well Stick out tongue

The turntable is an old Microwave oven plate on its roller disc.
I would like to get a paint booth but for the time being I use a gas mask from the DIY store.
The compressor is a DIY item as well, 70$ with pressure regulator and 6L tank.  

The window is facing west with a view from the 9th floor on the the tallest hill in Gothenburg.
On a good day I can see the harbor and the North Sea, as I already said, I consider myself lucky Cool

Very Best Regards
Johan

Nice setup Johan. I agree with Ernest, I think I could do with a couple of plants.

Ernest, I do like that photo setup, did you make that frame yourself.

Thanks for sharing the photo Johan!  I like it!  The natural light coming in from the side is unbeatable, but what I really like is the organic feel added by the natural plants on the window sill!  The world isn't relegated to plastic sprues, chemical adhesives and sharp blades!!  I just may have to add a plant or two to my area......Big Smile

Here's my new work area.  Maybe a hanging plant in the corner??

So this is where I like to be, but business travel takes a lot off time out.
Not complaining, I consider myself very fortunate.
