Hello all..

[wildmanwolfie]

Hi everyone,

Just thought I would say hello and introduce myself.

I have recently started building up a little hobby space again after many years away from model building and found the YouTube videos really great. Just waiting for a few supplies to turn up today (airbrush, compressor, tools and few pots of paint etc) then hopefully should get started. I used to build the Tamiya kits but always just with brushes so airbrushing is all new to me but with the videos I have watched I should hopefully get far better results all round. Love the Tamiya kits and have been building a collection up that I can start to work through so will post my progress along the way. More than likely have a few questions as well.

I have been building a DIY airbrush booth following online instructions I found and just trying so decide on the best fan to use. Looked on various forums and varying views with regards how dangerous not using a correctly protected fan could be and explosion or fire risks but is this really a big issue if only spraying for short periods? I don't plan spraying huge amounts to begin with and only priming small parts and using Tamiya paints. Do I really need to worry?

Anyway hello again and hope to post some progress soon.

Cheers,

Wolfie

Depends where you are going to spray; I spray in the garage with the doors open and wearing a proper face mask. I don't bother with an extractor etc.
