Anyone here make or even have a mini paint booth.

I'm going to be getting into the Tamiya Kits come next year some time and I am in the process of getting all my supplies together prior to doing so. I think I am going to need a paint booth for shooting spray.

I figured I would get it now that way I can start practicing now. :giggle

If anyone has made one, please chime in with your thoughts and or suggestions.

I see a few places online seel them, however, the construction seems simple with the exception of the blower fans.

Thanks

Tamiya makes a spray booth that I've had my eye on for quite some time. Testors makes one as well. Haven't pulled the trigger as yet, but probably by the end of the year...

Thanks for the links.

I guess I'll try my building skills shortly.

I have officially given up on building a paint booth.

Unless I build it in humongous fashion, it is a waste of time because I have no room to maneuver the model around while painting.

I have resorted to spray painting my models outside using a clothes hanger to hold it up so that I can just turn it as need be for painting.

Sounds like me Darrick. I use a paint can to rest the body on, after spraying the inside of the body and letting it dry for a couple days. Downside is I can't paint in the winter time. . . :ranting

I use a big carboard box that I cut open and taped. The downside is that the capret in the converted garage now has a gray/white/yellow haze to it due to not having a blower. I guess I need a bigger box.
