The SMR has gone without a permanent paint booth for many decades.  That has changed since my wife and I have started cleaning out the stuff we've accumulated over the past many years.  That will save our heirs from just having to dump things.  More pertinent to the SMR, it has opened up space for a permanent temporary paint booth.

The attached photo tells the story.  On the right is the cut-up cardboard box that was the latest of those used for air brushing.  Simple, and easy to put up on a stool or even on the layout for use.  The lack of ventilation may seem alarming, but a change was made to acrylic paints as soon as they first came out.  Consultation with an industrial hygienist determined that a dust mask or similar would provide adequate protection.  (Solvent spraying with cans is still done outdoors in the generally year round sunny clime of the "Sandy Eggo" area.)

On the left is the new permanent temporary phone booth.  It was manufactured to fold up for storage, but has now found a permanent location on one end of a door converted to a table.  It has a fan that draws paint mist through a furnace filter, but I'll still be wearing a mask -- most likely an N95 type from our collection being used to meet Covid restrictions.  It also has a plexiglass top window for lighting.  A surplus fluorescent work lamp suffices for now; eventually it will be replaced by leds. 

Now to use it -- likely sometime after an "atmospheric river" storm passes by "sunny" Sandy Eggo early next week.
