Fair enough. I was thinking other particles would get caught up in it, Ive since researched for that same spray booth and found one at a much more managable price that includes piping to vent out fumes through the window. And the tv will be partially covered up as woth anything else in the room thanks for the concern. This coupled with the respirator should run without a hitch no?

Yeah I had seen that model actually. So as far as fumes etc goes would my setup be ok? I may one day invest in a booth and maybe use a cardboard box for the moment with the fan on low to vent fumes through the window. My main concern here is the fumes and whether or not they would linger after airbrushing?

Intense sunlight

Do you mean I should just hold the parts over a large open box on the table and airbrush?

Ok I think I can prevent that by placing the fan up to 4 or so meters back from the table and I'm covering everything with white plastic sheeting and then lowering psi on the compressor to lower overspray. What do you think?

Hi all, I have just started scale modelling and have one last question to cover that being, is this setup sufficient and safe? Keeping in mind that it is in a bedroom. I couldn't justify the monetary expense of a painting booth and seeing as I'm using non toxic water based acrylics I don't think its needed. I intend to use an airbrush as well as hand brushes to paint the model cars on the desk outlined below (obviously without everything in the way ) I also have a household fan on a stand to blow air across from the left out of the window that is approx 1.5m tall and has various settings. On top of this I will be using a 3M respirator throughout all stages as a precaution that I ordered and should receive very soon. Opinions? Secondly, here is the venting window, the blue line represents the maximum angle the window will open to. opinions? Thirdly here are all the products I will be using if you need anymore info on each let me know 1. Mr.topcoat: Label states toxic. Should I use indoors with this setup and dry model outdoors? 2. Mr.primer surfacer 1000: Label again states toxic. Should I use indoors with this setup and dry model outdoors? 3. Mr cement deluxe: Label states use in well ventilated area. Would my setup suffice? and allow drying outdoors? 4. Gunze water based acrylic colour paints: Non toxic so at the moment I will paint indoors with my setup and dry outdoors. 5. Tamiya compound fine and course: Label states contains organic solvent so would my setup be ok to apply indoors and dry outdoors? 6. Microset Solvent: Again, seeing as its not being sprayed I believe the setup could handle it an then I could dry outdoors no? Please correct me wherever I'm wrong and give your opinions, all would be greatly appreciated
