While I've already started retouching the Ronin, I
still couldn't paint full blast, mainly because of the spray dust I
manage to gather every time I paint a whole kit. I was supposed to
build this weeks ago (I actually bought and mounted the fan on a strip of
plywood a year ago when I painted the Chimera), but I wasn't that
motivated until early this afternoon.
I was planning a foldable
spray booth made with plywood, but my usual creativity won't drive the
gears to get me going, even though the design was simlple enough to pull
off.
Since I have plenty of corrugated boxes from all my grocery
sojourns, I thought of recycling them buggers and make a cheap spray
booth instead. My last trip to the grocery gave me this layered box,
which is actually one box inside another, but, what was "special" about
this one is that there's another "layer" of corrugated board inside the
wall, which is perfect for what I have in mind.
Like
I mentioned earlier, I bought this (computer) exhaust fan a year ago.
The nice thing about this one is that it plugs directly to an AC outlet,
unlike the usual ones that need a power supply. This one is also more
powerful as well, and produces a strong enough airflow to suck them dust
particles.
This
would be mounted on the base of the box, which will be reinforced with
plywood. The box itself will be wrapped with packaging tape and
reinforced at the seams with duct tape.
I'll be adding another box (or two) underneath this set up and will connect a flexible exhaust hose to it.

Is this for indoor or outdoor use?
Spray booths are usually for indoor painting to draw the paint mist out. Most people I see who spray outdoors don't use booths, though, I don't see anything wrong if the purpose of using one is to draw the paint mist away from you.
