Heller Norton 750 Commando

Just completed this, the odd bit to paint and so on.

Cold not resist showing you it.

It may not make it to the club as its a little delicate so this may be the only view you get of it.

Portable Spray Booth

I don't have the luxury of a permanent modelling space, instead I have to share my workspace with computer equipment used for my day job. This is usually not a great problem as I keep most of the model stuff on a large cutting mat which I can lift out of the way when not in use.

But one thing I have always had a problem with in my shared office/model workshop is spraying models without filling the room and everything in it with over spray and fumes. Up until now I usually had to have the window open to get rid of the fumes, not a very satisfactory solution.

I have looked at spray booths in the past but they seemed large expensive items which didn't fit with my temporary work area, that is until Bill from the model club told me abut the spray booth he had purchased. After listening to his recommendation for the inexpensive portable booth I thought it sounded like just the ticket so the next day I put an order in with ABC Models in Crewe. The booth turned up a few days later and after un boxing the unit I can say my initial impression is very good.

The folded unit is the size of a very small suitcase and it is fairly light to carry (about 3-4kg).
Once folded out, the spray area is perfect for most modelling subjects and it even comes with a turntable.
The fumes are extracted through a filter so no external duct is required, and according to the instructions, it is very quiet to operate.

I haven't used it yet but as soon as I have tested it I will let you know how I get on.

I have included a few pictures of the device for you to have a look at....





Thanks again to Bill for his recommendation.
