Money fixes all ills. Booths were about $320 and compressor $109.

That's some serious hardware. The spray booth alone is bigger than my total workspace.
Does it come with a built in refrigerator?
23 April 2018, 05:36
Peter Hardy
Beer fridge on right just out of shot. Air evacuation is sensational. This thing could suck start a Harley Davidson!
23 April 2018, 06:42
Spanjaard
very nice hardware mr Hardy. now, we can to see much better results 😄 😄
23 April 2018, 07:01
Peter Hardy
Dunno Mate, beer fridge is pretty close.
23 April 2018, 07:03
Spanjaard
Ah, so you have you creativity boost supply at hand? Good 🙂
23 April 2018, 08:31
Peter Hardy
Good supply too Don Spanjaard, welcome to grab a chair, a beer and while away a warm Aussie arvo with me anytime!

So much space in that spraying booth ..... And the Panther looks nice as well 🙂

Michael Hickey
Very well set up mate, you'll love modelling there.👍
23 April 2018, 10:24
Peter Hardy
Thanks Dan, built it a couple of years ago. Been gathering dust but I still like the paint job.

Plenty of room for my legs Mick!

Alec K
Nice setup Peter. Breathing paint and glue fumes only reduces modeling time, so a good choice 👍
23 April 2018, 12:34
Tim Heimer
You are NOW the envy of most of Scalemates! Congrats!
23 April 2018, 12:44
Patrick Hagelstein
That's a nice setup you got there!
23 April 2018, 15:49
John Thomas
Very nice set up
23 April 2018, 16:41
Spanjaard
thanks for the offer Peter 🙂

Fridge capacity is just enough for any sized crowd. I could undoubtedly have enough ice cold even if I had you, Spanjaard, Tim, Lode, Marty, Kerry, AND anybody else who decided to drop in. Could find enough for Patrick if he isn't afraid of flying! Best part is that is just the painting bench. Modelling happens inside the house!
23 April 2018, 21:00
Martin Oostrom
Where's another fridge! 😛
23 April 2018, 21:01
Patrick Hagelstein
Well, as I work with aircraft engines I don't trust them that much.... 😄
23 April 2018, 21:02
Peter Hardy
Ok, NOW I'm worried!
23 April 2018, 21:04
Spanjaard
tempting... specially with the great coral barrier around the corner.... but not possible for the time being, unfortunately....
23 April 2018, 22:13
Rui S
I also like that camo on the panther, and of course that beautifully lit spray booth. 👍
Jealousy... 😉
The compressor...??? I'm with James, how loud is it?
23 April 2018, 22:29
Gordon Sørensen
Nice looking paint booth! What type is it, Peter?
23 April 2018, 23:55
Peter Hardy
Compressor is loud. Not for indoors. Link for booth below.
hobbytools.com.au/tw..cludes-exhaust-kits/
Booth is VERY effective. I have an older model in single layout. Wasn't that effective but this would suck the spots off your dog!
24 April 2018, 00:20
Peter Hardy
Rui, the booth is that well lit I could use it for a mini photo studio with the reflective cardboard underneath.
24 April 2018, 00:22
Patrick Hagelstein
😄
24 April 2018, 01:34
Tim Heimer
oh there was a paint booth? All I saw was a good looking Panther! LOL
24 April 2018, 01:36
Peter Hardy
Maybe I should put some photos of the Panther up? I don't have any build shots though.
24 April 2018, 02:12
Martin Oostrom
Yes please. Looks like you got the hang of this hobby, despite your claims otherwise 😉
24 April 2018, 05:08
Peter Hardy
Will do!
24 April 2018, 07:09
Tim Heimer
True call Martin!
24 April 2018, 12:23
Rui S
Yah Peter, that was what I thought great light also for photos 😎
24 April 2018, 21:50
Kerry COX
There will be no excuses now mate. hehehe 🙂 👍
25 April 2018, 22:01
Peter Hardy
The pressure!!
26 April 2018, 02:32
Martin Oostrom
No pressure, We'll support you. 👍
Just put the panther in the photo booth and aim the camera at the panther, then push the button on the camera.

Seriously, you got a h**l of a setup there. Only your talent and perseverance are the limit now. With help of Kerry, that means the Sky is the limit.
26 April 2018, 05:41
Kerry COX
No pressure please. ! Not that I couldn't handle it. Mwahhahahaha🙂 👍
26 April 2018, 06:16
Dan M
How much psi are we talking about ? In terms of pressure of course 😛
26 April 2018, 07:08
Kerry COX
2psi. :-O
26 April 2018, 07:20
Peter Hardy
Weekend then. I might put a few old models on an album.
26 April 2018, 08:14
Kerry COX
Good move. 🙂
26 April 2018, 08:59
Peter Hardy
Just had a horrible thought, how am I going to get two years of dust off these things? Might have to hire a Gerni!
26 April 2018, 09:29
Martin Oostrom
If you're feeling brave, crank up the compressor to max pressure and let her rip!
If the mood is cautiousness, get a static brush.
26 April 2018, 09:38
Tim Heimer
I just use display cases......
26 April 2018, 11:32
Peter Hardy
Yeah but you're rich!
26 April 2018, 11:42
Tim Heimer
No I'm Tim, who's fighting the war on poverty and loosing! not Rich!
26 April 2018, 11:53
Tim Heimer
I don't have a fancy paint booth.........
26 April 2018, 11:54
Peter Hardy
You think it's fancy now? Wait till you see it in 3years! It will have a Peter Hardy Original paint job, then, it will be a fancy paint booth! Probably worth millions after I kick the bucket!
26 April 2018, 20:57
Peter Hardy
You buy it Lode, I will sign it!
26 April 2018, 23:09
Martin Oostrom
Careful Lode. He'll seal the deal...
27 April 2018, 06:02
Peter Hardy
Knowing your dry sense of humour Lode it'll still be in the bloody box!
27 April 2018, 09:53
gorby
Now that's just showing off (seething with envy). I want one NOW!
27 April 2018, 15:43
Spanjaard
Be careful with what you wish 😉
27 April 2018, 18:36
Peter Hardy
I am very lucky in that I have no shortage of space here. 2 people, three bedroom house, office, double garage and three bay shed.
Gorbygould, link above. I won't be offended if you follow my lead!
27 April 2018, 22:42

seb H
Nice setup !!
29 April 2018, 18:03
Peter Hardy
Thanks Seb, had to sell 2 small children to pay for it though!
29 April 2018, 21:01
Rene Scheiblich
Only 2? A bargain! 😉

Very nice, roomy setup there Peter. I'll put myself next to Mr gorbygould... Some envy here 😛 🙂
29 April 2018, 21:58
Martin Oostrom
I have two kids... tempted
30 April 2018, 06:15
Peter Hardy
Hey, I'm not in the Market for Martin's kids. They are about to hit the "expensive" years!
30 April 2018, 08:01
seb H
hooo that's the way to have money to spend, nice i have 5 kids 🙂 from 6month to 15 years 🙂 i'm rich !!!
30 April 2018, 08:06
Peter Hardy
No Seb, you are poor. Especially if you have 5 daughters!
30 April 2018, 08:09
seb H
only 2 of them 😉
30 April 2018, 08:27
Peter Hardy
Buy them a ladder and dodge the wedding expenses!
30 April 2018, 08:38
Erwin Leetink
Just trying to grab enough money to buy one... Envy is a bastard!!!
30 April 2018, 09:39
Peter Hardy
Lode, I have two daughters, both in relationships and are also in mid thirties. They can pay for their own weddings now! I have too many models to buy.
30 April 2018, 10:42
Alec K
Guys, these conversations are PRICELESS... 😄 🙂 🙂 👍
30 April 2018, 12:33
Rene Scheiblich
Indeed!
So... Singles have more time to model. Good thing.
Fathers have kids they can trade for supplies... What is better now 🤔 😄
30 April 2018, 12:53
Dan M
Not only time, also money 🙂
30 April 2018, 13:10
Martin Oostrom
Once read that each kid costs approximately €100.000,- From their birthday till the day they leave the house. 😠
So instead of buying more kits, I'm building responsible adults (I hope)
30 April 2018, 13:25
Rene Scheiblich
The hope dies last Martin. 😉
Best thing would be having a son to build with!
30 April 2018, 13:36
Alec K
Martin, be careful about throwing that 100K number around. That feels to me like a pretty optimistic estimate...

Rene: having a son to build with is, well, priceless. I will not say mine does it completely voluntarily, but good kids like to hang with their parents sometimes (in a basement modeling room so none of their friends can see...😄 )

Lode: don't get me started with the "men are from Mars and women from Venus". When mine looks at my stash, I usually have to sit through some "feedback". My retort always goes something along the lines of picking up a different, considerably more expensive hobby like car collecting or gambling...🙂
30 April 2018, 16:23
Spanjaard
ha ha ha, i have used that line too Alec 🙂
30 April 2018, 16:41
Alec K
👍
30 April 2018, 16:46
Olivier
You need a huge fan for such a spray booth. Otherwise the vapours will get to you and solve all the questions.
30 April 2018, 16:50
Alec K
I am jealous Lode. Mine only comes to tell me it's time to be done...
30 April 2018, 18:00
Spanjaard
mine got me back into models again 🙂
30 April 2018, 18:01
Rui S
Mine says, sell every box hehehe, but I can keep one good airbrush the compressor and one or two good kits 😄
30 April 2018, 18:32
Alec K
Spanjaard, now I am just getting pissed off... 😉
30 April 2018, 19:23
Rene Scheiblich
Mine got me back to modeling too, with a gift after she saw an old box with modeling stuff.

She told me she's regretting it a bit.
Especially that one day I spilled about 20ml lacquer paint😄
30 April 2018, 19:44
Clifford Keesler
Yikes! Stinky.
30 April 2018, 19:49
Clifford Keesler
Nice booth Peter.
30 April 2018, 19:50
Peter Hardy
Thanks Cliffy! Hope you are enjoying the conversation too! I certainly am!!!
30 April 2018, 20:55
Martin Oostrom
My wife is just annoyed that I have so many hobbies, while she doesn't really have one. So every now and then I have to report for 'us' time. Rightfully so, I must add. I can get a bit carried away sometimes.

Alec, I hope and pray it's just 100K. That's rich enough for me 😉

Who else has stories about their SO?
30 April 2018, 21:13
Alec K
Martin, you and I seem to be in the same boat. I am also glad you pay attention to "The One from Whom All Good Things Come". 😄 Hmm, maybe if I paid more attention, I would be telling stories like Spaanjard and Rene...
1 May 2018, 00:56
Clifford Keesler
I drive mine nuts with my hobby, she can't understand why I need to buy "this kit" when I have over 100 unbuilt ones in the closet, or why I need12 F-14's 6 F-100's etc. You get the picture. LOL.
1 May 2018, 00:58
Greg Baker
This all sounds so familiar... I've sat through "feedback" sessions, I've reported for "us time", I've had father and slightly unwilling son build sessions... it's like a support group.
1 May 2018, 01:11
Erwin Leetink
My wife turned into modelling too last year. European old timers (just the normal civy cars) is her turf... Really proud of her! And our son turned converted to modelling too! And sometimes (but not as fanatically) our daughter too! Can you imagine how our dining table looks sometimes...
1 May 2018, 06:47
Rene Scheiblich
What's for dinner honey? Plastic shavings with a side order of pe scraps and glue 😄

My SO sometimes rolls her eyes at a new kit, new add-ons and especially the new compressor too. Most kits are bought from other modellers cleaning up their stash though.
But after having a talk about dosh spent for kits vs cost spent for the umpteenth leather handbag there are no complaints as long as I don't complain 😄

But an 8-hour non-stop modeling session.... That's not possible any more.
I quote Peter from another thread:
"I would rather spend a night camping with an Inland Taipan for company than displease my [girlfriend] and suffer the consequences! "
1 May 2018, 07:31
Erwin Leetink
LOL... Indeed the clean up of a days' accumulated paints, tools, parts and garbage is sometimes more of a hassle than building a level 5 kit 😄 Specially, since this usually has to be done, while dinner is already ready to be served :X
1 May 2018, 07:45
Spanjaard
Erwin, you are really lucky... mine likes artistic stuff, etc, but have not the slightest interest in building a model . but i can not complain to be honest
