Got a question about techniques, materials or other aspects of physically building a model? This is the place to ask.

My own design. Easy, cheap and uses commonly available parts. Feel free to tweak it to your own needs. One person around her - Phil Conner, I think - built it with a clear tub to allow more light in.

Cheap'n'cheerful version

Not ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but I've used an old cardboard box that a PC and CRT monitor came in - about 3' square - as a 'spraybooth'. We'd used it when moving house and one side had got punched open when something shifted, so it was no use keeping it for moving - all I did was remove the damaged side completely and then stick it on top of my workbench.
Worked fine for spraying Games Workshop and 1/72- to 1/48-scale aircraft sprues but wasn't much use when the wind blew - I had to stand in the door of the garage as there was no "extractor fan" on it...

Cool solution Ziz. I really like the use of the lid.

I followed Ziz's lead and built one a few years ago. It's basically the same set up.

Thanks. I didn't plan that, it just happened to work out.
