Very nice work - lovely details. OC. -
That is Excellent close clean work mate - all your projects are like mini engineering jobs. OC.
-
Evening all, paintwork continues - several coats of Flat White. OC.

Mine wont have any sort of exhaust duct - it will just be a knocked up cardboard box with a turntable and my light peering in over the top. Like this - OC.
-
I think mine will be - build the cardboard box best I can make sure it can be lit by my light, make sure door is always open (as it always is even If I am freezing) possible wear a muzzle(I mean mask) and gently spray the thing. OC.

But the smell should be none existent using Vallejo acrylic paints and with the airbrush putting out such a fine mist surely it should be fine? that's what I keep telling myself otherwise I have wasted a lot of money on something I can not use, this is coming form someone who used to paint with Enamels in a living room environment, with all those vapours and fumes we were used to - and the thinners. OC.

My problem is - I am a living room kit builder I am about 15 feet away from the admiral who has breathing issues from anything smelly, Even when I used to use tamiya rattle cans out side she could smell them - thats why I decided to make all my painting Acrylic and never use any other paint format, infact I have a stash of Tamiya rattle cans that need binning. Painting my figures has/is an Absolute delight as brushing on my acrylic paints has Zero affect on either of us - I was hoping uisng an airbrush with the same paints would be the same - that is why I brought it. OC.

Where I sit its against a back wall with no window the closest outlet to me about Two feet to my side is our back door thats kept open even in the winter, I have been planning to make a cardboard box as its the only real route that works for me, I am also running out of space as its a tiny house we live in more like a shoe box. OC.
-
That would be a bit tricky the venting side of things, I do sit next to our open door leading into our garden/yard and and I have my table light that is more than strong enough that is adjustable in height and reach, as long as that can peer over the top of the box - it will be ample light. I am trying to do it without any expense as I have been giving my wallet some serious knocking and its starting to complain. Oh - I have seen turntables for a few quid on flea bay. OC.

Hi all, just thinking and planning in advance of getting my airbrush kit this week, I assume a kind of spray booth would be useful if not essential? would I get away with making a cardboard box type with floor/sides/back/part roof but with a cut out to allow my lamp coverage to illuminate the thing being sprayed, also I assume spraying Acrylics in a living room will not cause any issues of spray vapour flying about causing us problems, I know I have seen some people where a mask (what's one of them lol) when actually sparying. Any ideas folks? OC.

I'm in Phil, that looks like quite a nicely detailed kit - looking forward to seeing more. OC.
-
Thank you Phil. OC.
-
I should have said - ignore that part on the left in my pic, that will be locked away inside the other section of the stabbles - joined by the slot. OC.
-
Thank you so much for saying that Alan - that was a really nice thing to say😊 OC.

Evening all, more work this evening - its "Painting time" - the stables have Four main walls each with brick and paint detail, I carried on my routine from the farmhouse - sand colour worked into the mortar gaps, then a brick colour carefully brushed over the top, then the White built up in layers leaving it thinner close to were it meets the bricks - lots more to do. OC.
-
Hiya Bob, hope your keeping well mate. havn't seen an update from you In a while. OC.
-
Could do the primer I guess - and flat clear top coats - never thought of that - thank you Mark. OC.
-
That is looking so nice Denis, that paintwork is perfect, also like your other builds you show. OC.
-
I see mate, I went with that route because Pontos showed it in thier instructions - lots and lots of cut outs to remove so things could sit on the plastic deck under the wood decking. OC.

No its ok Lou, all info regarding airbrushes is useful to me - can't have enough info. OC.
-
Thank you kindly for that Lou, mine arrives next Tue/Wed, but I won't be tempted to play with it till my Waterloo Dio is finished (so probably 2023) Lol OC.
-
Will you be doing same as I did on my Warspite - and cutting out the small pieces of decking under all those rectangles? OC.
