Sorry, premature posting
I just posted in a.b.m.s. a pdf of the booth I made a year or so ago.
Let me know what you think.
If you don't like the the fan being on top, it would be simple to put it on the bottom.

i don't have them written, but i gutted a 17" monitor, drilled a 6" hole in the back that i siliconed a dryer house on. i'm going to ad a aquirrel cage fan in a box with the motor external and another hose out.
i will put filters at the beginning of the hose and just befor the fan.

On my older booths (not the one in the article) I used corrugated carboard boxes for the booth structures. Stuck fan and filter on top.
Weight of both held them in place over hole I had cut in top of box.
Actually, side of box.

I cut the top flaps off, box sat on side, spraying through what was the top. Cut hole in top/side, mounted filter and fan on piece of hardboard and set down over hole.

that's a nice solution but not good for restricted spaces like a tiny apartment.

Some of the greatest ideas are the simplest! And talk about a solution being right in front of my face everyday!

Question: If I dispense with the sides for this or any other similar setup, how much overspray would I miss sucking into the thing? 10%? 40%? 90%?
Obviously, my question is geared toward doing away with the bulky sides, but
I don't have a feel for the trade-off.

If you want, I can email you some plans &amp; directions for one I made a while back. It folds against a wall when not in use &amp;

I have just had an article on building a spray booth published in the
January/February 'Ships in Scale' magazine. Sure, it is a model ship mag, but the spray booth will work for spraying nearly any kind of model.
