My New Man-Cave - under development....

[Ian M]

Looking very good. I bet you cant wait to use it 'in anger'.....


I bet that there wont go to much time and you'll have blinds up on those windows.


My old place the sun blasted in most of the day and you couldn't se a thing. And not to mention the heat factor.....


Good job the work area and spray booth fitted, it would have cost a fortune to have that wall moved.  xD

Its actually a very cool garage.   We had a very hot day yesterday and it offered a lot of relief from the heat when I popped in for the 10 seconds she allowed!!


My main problem will be cold in the winter but I have a cunning plan for that!!


As for blinds, maybe.  The windows are south facing.  I will just have to see how that pans out.  In the short amount of time I have spent in there so far I am not aware of an issue.


Yes, I am itching to get on with that HK Models Mossie...

Hey Barry


The work space is really taking shape - I love the high shelves above for keeping kits out of the way.


I've kind of reworked my space a little and will post pics if you like. I'm utilising the Hobbyzone system much the same as your good self (although I don't think I have as many units). Having done a very modest amount of work last night in my new set up on the 2 Fokker Dr1s (these 2 have been on the go for some 2 years now!) I can tell you that you'll really enjoy the new space and it certainly helped me maintain focus with some very, very demanding and fiddly work.


As for the HK Mossie - I'm really looking forward to you tackling this!


All the best

Basically all the same Adrian.  The filter at the front blocks particles so assuming that the fumes are safe, not a great assumption in my book, the the outlet can be left off but not blocked as it will not draw air through.


these are the ones that John has.  Mine is very similar and I just stick the pipe through the window when spraying.

the difference it has made for me is amazing.

Yeah got one of those off eBay a few years back. Just liked the look of the others not having to vent them, I'm sure I saw some someplace but can I hell as like find em now Though they were extremely expensive as they filter everything out   but I will shortly have money to burn so will treat myself .

Hi Ade


here it is.  The units are the Aircom ones towards the bottom on the page.  They are specifically designed for use without needing to vent outside.   Good for paints such as Vallejo, AKI, Mig in particular.   I should add that mine are the 38 watt units.

Are yours the 17w or 38w versions?

38 watts

Very nice, but a very expensive spraybooth solution!! O.o

[Guest]

that is a lot of money for the same type of thing but with an additional carbon filter. You could add a carbon filter from a cooker hood for a couple of quid

That's what I did. I've a particle filter at the front & an active charcoal filter behind the fans to deal with odours. Necessity may be the mother of invention, but so is a thin wallet!

Personally I don't think they are expensive.  It is possible to get cheaper of course and you could probably lash one up yourself with a box, a fan, trunking and gaffer tape but it all depends on what you want.

Well from next Monday a thin wallet will be a thing of the past, so two of those will suit me without sticky back plastic and chewing gum

Or what one can afford
