Oh, I really didnt know what you were meaning.. Well, in all honesty, I can only take pics if and when I do something.. I seriously havnt touched it since Saturday, and I have been setting up my booth.. Did a test run on her yesterday, and the fan works a treat.. Not only does the fan suck it all out. But there are zero fumes.. infact it is working better than I expected...

currently im designing my own, but i need a few "extra's":

besides the models, i also want to use it as a booth where i can paint my paintings, so it has to be big, and high. because of lack of space, i need something i can pull appart and back again in a few minutes.

Also, as a real nerd, i want to be able to controll the fans, and the light system for it. i was thinking of using something like these: http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/cases/Enermax_Fan_Controller_1.html for the fans..

nice big 80mm or bigger fans in it, and a nice TL-light on the top, that should do it..

good to hear you booth is working nicely. does it produce much sound?

You know what.. Its actually very quiet, cant say I noticed it.. Its kinda like you can hear a small breaze outside.. Also with my new airbrush set.. The compressor is also very quiet.. Cant say I can complain about any of them...

thats cool.

my compressor makes a lot of noise, so it really keeps me from painting in the middle of the night..

dont wanna wake up the neighboors..

So what do you think about youre AB? this is your first right? and? can you say its better? faster?

---

with your new model, are you gonna do the launch as well? like this:

As for my new airbrush set, I havnt used it yet.. Wanted to have the booth completed first..

That picture of the shuttle launching is an awsome pic.. I am definately thinking about stealing his idea.. Now if that person would be so kind enough to contact me and tell me how he did it, I would be very happy! Big Smile [:D]

i wish i could model kits as fast as you do... btw, how do you do this with the paints?

do you buy paints per model, or do you have a cabinet full of the stuff in every color on stock?
