        Ta very much

        The new large booth, a joint birthday pressie has arrived. They look fine against each other. However if I leave the side and roof led lights fitted there's the led trunking in the way

        I would have to use both turntables to raise a ships hull high enough to clear

        If take the lights out I of course lose lights but the floor is level. Out of sight there's a ceiling mounted led batten which gives of good lighting. Will have to experiment??

        By far the biggest problem is the ventilation trunking, its very stiff and a bugger to use, so my yearly brainwave!!!!

        I am going to use tumbledryer vent pipe instead, so much easier, phew problem sorted!

          Bob, I just went through this thread, which I, unfortunately, missed up to now.
          A real cosy painting room. Hope you'll enjoy many wonderful and peaceful hours priming, thinning, painting and all the stuff related to the colourful side of the hobby.

                Bob re the lights, Aldi do led light strips (or eBay) about a tenner that you could stick round the inside as an easy and quick solution?
                Lovely booths!!!

                    'Admiral' Bob,

                    When this project is finished, I truly, and I do mean truly, demand hope that the first thing we see in the booth, is a StuG Sir!!!!!! Can you say "walk the plank" buddy??? BTW, this project is looking really good. Best wishes to Julie too....

                              Looking very nice in there now. Looks like the spray booth is ready for another War canoe or two.
                              About the trunking. Once you have confirmed where the spray station will live the rest of its days, you might want to thing hard pipe most of the run. Just a floppy bit to get around the tricky bits...
