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.

I am hoping that once I know how to set it up (getting the right pressure - thiness of the paint) it will be like an extension of using a brush, where a steady hand will make a lot of difference, time will tell my friend - time will tell. OC.

Evening all, some boring progress tonight that doesn warrant a photo - I have been doing some - sizing, marking and cutting to make the stables and base the correct size, this took some thinking about as the pieces interlock including a sloted section, but after a few hours I got there. Tomorrow will be the start of painting the individual pieces including some more brick work. OC.

"Ah there it is" looks like a really nice kit, I built an Artesania Latina Victory kit before the crash in here, what struck me was the quality of the materials, hope the same follows into your build mate. OC.
-
Thank you Craig, I will probably lean on you a bit for more tips when I get round to using it. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Ken, think it will be reading, videos and repeate till I get to use it, probably on Hood after LHS is finished. OC.

Just pulled the trigger on this - Most expensive modeling item I have ever brought. OC. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380603061384
-
The next project is going to be great mate - looking forward to this just as much. OC.
-
Thank you so much Gary, I take your compliments as a real honour, you are inspiration with your builds. OC.
