I couldn't have said this any better - about a year ago, when I was gearing up to for my gunpla projects, i bought the cheap AW Portable Spray Booth for $50 USD and it worked great at first. But after continuous use, one day the blower wheel broke (some of the 'fins' had broken off). I opened it and cleaned it and used it for a little while longer until the whole thing exploded - could not locate a replacement for the part.
Since then, I've thought about building one myself, but for all the reasons you just listed, and my space limitations, I've held off on deciding if I should build or buy.
I'm no stranger to the master airbrush brand - I started off with the cheapo $50 airbrush kit w/ compressor ~3 years ago, and upgraded to the $100 compressor and a Iwata airbrush last year. Overall, I find that their products are good for beginners to get started, to see if its something they really want to pursue. But is it worth a $100 for what is essentially a high cfm fan in an enclosure?
I dont regret buying it, mostly because it works very well with my space limitations, but I will definitely be building my next one. I just needed something that worked, and didn't cost $400 or needed to be in a dedicated space. But there is no doubt in my mind that I spent $100 on a 120mmx120mmx38mm fan enclosure, with a switch.
But its a damn good enclosure lol I look forward to doing some actually spraying tomorrow with vallejo.
>is there any advice you guys could give me so that I end up ruining the finish on my kits?
Why certainly, just spray with tar thinned with engine oil, i garuantee you will end up ruining the finish on your kits =D
On topic though since i'm not much of a DIY-er and looking for a spray booth myself, i've found they don't have to be very expensive.
Example 1
Example 2
Those have a hose that you can hang out the window making ventilation no longer a problem.
Disclaimer though: i'm still looking and haven't actually used any of these nor done much research into them yet so they might be utter crap, but hopefully some fellow modelers will have experience?
