Nice editing Scott, you made me sound so intelligent... :-)
Forgot to mention, if you have a SWMBO, I sure she would not like this set up in the corner of the bedroom. :-)

Dave - I think if you painted it a color complementary to the drapes you'd be fine #:-)

Thanks for a great article. I would like to copy your design for a booth in my studio if I may. I was not really sure how to go about the extractor fan and filter and you how to explains it so even an old coot like me can understand it. Thanks again Grumpy.

Not my design, it's paasche's....
But I'm sure anyone with a little tin knocking experience could bang one out, sizing it to suit their needs. Could also be made by someone with a little skill using plywood.

Great review, Dave, very well written, mate!
As you have just said, these are not hard to make if you have a little sheetmetal knowledge...a few years back when I still worked in a shop, in slow times my shop steward and I used to bang out quite a few of these for our buddies. Total cost in materials (minus the fan) was about 6 bucks in metal and screws...and any exhaust fan can be adapted to suit. I like your set-up, and the photo-studio idea is a banger! Thanks!
Keep Modeling!
