My desk
Paint booth, just finished
little improvement : a flat drawer for instructions....
"old" filter system need....
... improvements !
Holes and paint holder done.
No slipping !
paint on a side...
... and the other side ! You can easily rotate using the round base
... something good to keep my airbrush away from my arms !!!
rack for big paints
some space left
2nd shelf is done !
New house, a room-just-for-me-and-my-plastic !!!!!!!!!!
shelf with kits-to-do
a bit messy from this point of view
but usefull !
hand painting, cleaning...
the build corner. bigger desk, computer. happy man !
even a photo box with lights, ready to shoot
the new, 100% home made spray booth. It still need modifications, but the most important is done. Too big for a 1/72 helicopter...
But cool for a 1/48 Su-27 !
Or a 1/48 SR-71 😉
Done ! Better with some light straight from the top

gorbyThat's an excellent work area Florent! Is it always that tidy? I particularly like your spray booth – I've not seen an extractor at the bottom before, and those paints look perfect.

Florent ThouretThanks ! Yes, it's always like that... not when I'm "working". But I tidy the desk after each session.... I should see a doctor for that 😉
The extractor from the bottom is not my idea. I saw this in a pdf, long time ago... The spray booth is finished since this morning 😉

gorbyYes, I tidy after each build, but it never gets as tidy as yours. I like the work-holder idea, very inventive!

Spanjaardnice. i have never seen the extractor at the bottom. would not also "eat" some small parts that accidentally fall there?
or maybe it will actually avoid exactly that, if they get trapped in the filter.... interesting idea.

Spanjaardand i really like your idea of "adjustable" model holder in picture 4. simple but really effective.

Florent ThouretYou're right : the filter collects small parts. 99.9% of them are parts I don't want on the model while drying, so it's good for me ! I've never tried a paint booth with vertical extractor but I think if it's the most choosen method for commecial ones is because it's just easier to do...
The adjustable model holder was, finally, not usable : not as strong as it must be. But the idea is here. This year, 2018, is the 3d printing year for me, I expect... So it'll be possible to go on this idea : 3d printed adjustable holder....

gorbyI like you're airbrush holder. I've made my own as well, but it's not as stylish as yours.

Florent ThouretI own some machines... router, vertical drill and some other... it's easier for me to build a table than gluing plastic lol !

Scott HastingsGreat work. I love it when someone does there own thing and makes it with their own hands. Cheers to you Sir

Patrick HagelsteinBTW, I looked your desk up after your remark in the Solo Display thread, this looks awesome!

Florent ThouretThat's my problem.... toomuch setup, not enough plastic 🙂
in fact it's also a hobby

Gordon SørensenVery nice looking airbrush holder. The shelf looks great, only needs a little lip so the bottles don't accidently fall out.

Florent ThouretThey won't : as you can see on the 2nd picture, bottles are lean back, if I can say so...

Alec KVery nice 👍. It's great to see how other modelers set up their surgery room 😉. Thanks for sharing.

Florent ThouretThanks, Philippe and Alec K. In fact, it seems I spend more time to set up my surgery room (I like this idea !) than gluing plastic... But who cares ? The most important is the pleasure it gives me, and for sure, I take a lot of pleasure !
