Portable Airbrush Booth? (also advice on airbrushes)


Evil Eye

Recommended Posts

So recently in a modelling magazine I saw an advert for a fairly affordable (about £100 I think) portable airbrushing booth. It was essentially a box with a built-in extractor and a little turntable. Does anyone have any experience with it or similar things? I'm in need of an airbrushing setup but for a variety of reasons a permanent setup isn't really all that viable.

 

Speaking of airbrushes, my airbrush is a rather crappy old jar-feed thing that is in dire need of replacement. What should I be looking to spend on a better one, and what would be a good brand to buy? My compressor is just fine, so that's not a problem- it's literally just the brush itself I need to replace.

This one?

I have one of those from the video above. It sure beats nothing, but that fan is rather weak. If you wear a mask and shoot moderate amounts of acrylics you should be ok with less paint dust in the room.

 

I would not recommend it for enamels and standard spray cans.

 

If you don't need something that folds a sparmax sb88(?) is probably a better option.

 

As for the airbrush it self I ended up with a revolution silverline after a chat with the local hobby store a few years back and I have been really happy so far. Know to little to give a solid analysis on the airbrush market though. Know iawata makes some good ones as well.
