My hero!
Glad I'm not alone Neil.
Normally end up in a small corner wondering why on earth how I manage
Got to be said John….how in earth dies that spray booth actually pull any air in. The filter is basically paint……it needs a wash in the sink.
Your right Tim, the filter it's self is a lot lighter when new ! Had it from Andy years ago , I hasten to add it's been changed several times since then.
Will give it a wash and report back !
Now put some clean paper on the bottom of the booth John.

I knew someone would mention it 
I managed to commandeer one of the bedrooms now all the kids have flown the coop 
Looks good bud. Just wondering though……..if that’s the chair you are using while working it could be a cause of your back issues?
You know I think you right it's a little low making me stand for most jobs
Takes a lot to beat a decent office chair with good lumbar support and wheels. You can adjust the height to suit the job as well.
I live in a small stone cottage that is 260 years old. As you can imagine, space is at a premium but as I live on my own, I was able to turn the second bedroom into a modelling den.
This is my main modelling bench with my current build, an Airfix 1/8 BMW R-75/5. The monitor at the back is a second one so that I do not have to turn my head to the right when accessing reference material on my PC. Behind the monitor is a big window looking out onto the countryside. My airbrush compressor is under the bench:
To the right of my main bench is another bench where my PC is:
To the left of the main bench are more EBMA units and my spray booth:
Behind me I have lots of boxes with paints, decals, aftermarket bits and bobs and to the right are more shelves with modelling-related items:
All my modelling books have been relocated to my living room and bedroom.

As Captain Mainwaring would say, "I wondered who would be the first to spot that".
You do John. I am currently working through a box set of Ally McBeal and am currently on season 4 of 5. I have had some Vonda Shepard albums for decades and still play them.

Maybe i'm going bonkers, but I can't see a monitor at the back?I live in a small stone cottage that is 260 years old. As you can imagine, space is at a premium but as I live on my own, I was able to turn the second bedroom into a modelling den.

The monitor is covered by a dust cover as it is very close to the spray booth. Of course, I remove the cover when I am viewing:

Love her voice Dave, a very talented lady. Used to watch Ally McBeal, thought it was great.
Here’s my little newbie corner, well it is my bedroom 
'That Time' arrived earlier this month. Family coming to stay and smallest Grandchild now moved from a cot to a bed. This is the first time I've had to dismantle my work area since I put it together in 2019. Most of it went into a couple of large plastic crates and after moving out the bench and chair, the bed was pulled out. I zip-tied the wardrobe doors to foil any access to the tools and paints therein and all was well.
Put it back together the following week and took a picture just in case I could get a short-term entry into the Tidy Bench Club.
Just turning the cutting mat over has made a huge difference although normal service has now been resumed.
