If you use an airbrush, whether you work with enamel or acrylic paints, you are inevitably exposed to fine atomised particles of paint in the atmosphere - and these present a health hazard if breathed in. Using a spray booth to filter out the vapours and particles is an effective way to ensure a safe working environments, but some expensive models are beyond the reach of many modellers. Therefore it's excellent news to see The Airbrush Company announce a low cost spray booth that may convince many more of us to take better care of our lungs:

The E420DCK Spray Booth is light-weight and very easy to assemble (taking less than a minute), yet still very sturdy. The powerful fan system draws in overspray and vents the emission outside your work area. The booth includes a rotating turntable plate measuring 190mm (7.5").
