# Airbrush booth
I built a simple diy airbrush booth in November 2024, here is the progress I made on it.
First I needed space, the bike shed below our appartment would suit well. I cleaned up everything and moved an old school desk to where I wanted my booth.
[foto1]
I started with some planks I wanted to use as foundation and to raise the entire booth a bit. These planks were left over from a old plant container I had on our balcony and tore down. I drilled holes, sanded the sides and glued some wooden dowels in.
[foto2]
[foto3]
Then saw the side panels and the back panel.
[foto4]
Saw the bars that would go in the corners, I thought these 45 degree bars looked nice from the inside.
I sawed off some of the top, so that cables for the lights could go behind these bars later.
[foto5]
[foto6]
There is no need for this many dowels, just a few is enough. I was unable to fit them together because at some point, some dowels did not exactly match up with the opposite holes, so it did not fit. I had to saw off some of the dowels until it would fit.
[foto7]
The 45 degree cut bars would have looked nice, but these bars proved difficult when I had to glue them together. I could not clamp it together, not even with another 45 degree bar on the opposite side. The opposite bar just kept sliding out of place. I considered this a failure and tore it apart before the glue could cure. I sanded the glue off and decided to just take a square bar instead for these corners.
[foto8]
[foto9]
This went much easier, I cut 2 bars to length, and again removed some of the tops for the cables.
[foto10]
[foto11]
I tried to glue a corner together, but it did not line up perfectly nice, some of the dowels were a bit too long I thing, which I did underestimated when dry-fitting.
[foto12]
For the next corner, I decided to do it more simple. Just 3 dowels and glue it to the edge, nothing more. Once dried, sand it to make the sides even. This worked rather well.
[foto13]
[foto14]
Again, add just a few dowels for the back panel, and glue together.
---
Next I decided to work on the planks that would form the base and carry the whole cabine. These were not the most even pieces of wood to work with and required a lot of planing to get them (a little bit) even. I wanted to do this myself and reuse these planks, but going to a workshop to have these planed would have saved a lot of time and effort.
[foto15]
[gifje1]
[foto16]
It took a few days to get them to be even enough, I then moved on to make the lid.
I cut four blocks from the bar I used for the corner to put on the lid and glued it together.
[foto17]
I was not confident I could line up the dowels on the opposite side, so I just drilled through the blocks and hammered the dowels through them. Sadly I hit one dowel a little too hard, which almost went through the front. But it will be an easy fix later.
[foto18~21]
Next come two holes in the lid for the ventilation. I drew a circle, drilled holes and then cut out the rest with a mortise chisel (schietbeitel). I made another mistake here, because I drew the inner diameter to be cut out.
[foto22~23]
Since the ventilation part is a few millimeters thick, of course it would not fit. To fix this, I used a rasping file to get rit of a few more millimeters of wood.
[foto24]
After both holes were made in the lid, I filled up some uneven and broken parts with wood plaster. Then I put on an undercoat of white paint on the wood.
After sanding the undercoat and then re-applying it again, I painted some white lacquer on the entire assembly with a paint roller. It is not necessary, but it does give it a nicer finish than just the white undercoat of paint.

# Scale Model Challenge 2025
For years I have been painting miniatures as a hobby. I did so as a solitary activity, with only a few miniatures completed. When a colleague of mine, now a friend, discovered we shared many interests like Gundam and other things related to Japan, (both of us are married with a Japanese woman as well), he introduced me to the SIG Plamo (Special Interests Group Plamo). A group of friends from university that share similar interests. This group regularly comes together to paint historic models, Warhammer, Gunpla, airbrushing, build Lego and other fun stuff. They also promote the Gunpla hobby at Animecon. Every year, some members participate in the Scale Model Challenge, the SMC in Veldhoven, Netherlands. This sparked new enthusiasm in me for this hobby again!
They created a special tradition, where they pick a model kit, preferably they can buy directly at the SMC. Then everyone needs to prepare this miniature for next year's SMC, where they present the model. During that year, they do not check each other's progress, so it is a surprise to see what everyone has created after one year. They have created a ship, a tank, an airplane and in 2023, a Velorex from Eduard.
This year will be my first entry, we bought 4 discounted kits of the **HGUC RX-178 Mark II Gundam**, only 10 Euro each. Here I will describe my progress.
### 2024
#### October
I cut all parts from the sprue, removed the nubs and sanded the parts. I put each part into a little plastic sandwich bag with a tag of the sprue number, so that I can track them later during assembly.
equipment used:
* Tamiya sanding sponges 400, 600 & 1000
* Cutter
* [Fiskars hobby knife](./equipment/fiskars-knife)
#### November
I sanded all the remaining parts and removed the seam lines.
One stupid mistake I made was that I sucked up one of the bags with the vaccuum cleaner... The plastic bag was torn and all the parts were scattered inside the cleaner's bag. Luckily I was able to retrieve all the parts, clean and fix them.
I was not going to use the bazooka, so I cut it up and changed the beam rifle into a different looking weapon.
Because keeping parts in plastic sandwich bags was not ideal, I bought a little organizer. I was also building a HGUC Zaku II at time, which all fit nicely.
#### December
At this point I added some pre-wired SMD LED lights to the Gundam.
* 2 green, for the eyes.
* 1 green, for the camera on top of its head.
* 1 pink and 1 green for the vulcan pod attached to the head.
* 2 green, for the cameras on its chest.
* 4 orange, for the thrusters on the back.
* 1 pink, for the weapon.
It was quite easy to drill trough everything for the wiring, but glueing the LEDs in place with the super glue did not work out well. Perhaps my super glue was too old, it stayed fluid.
I made a tester circuit on a breadboard to test the LEDs, to make sure they work and give the desired effect.
The testing circuit has 2 electrolytic capacitors, which are decoupling capacitors. These will prevent voltage spikes, but also give an effect to the LEDs where they gradually fade when connected/disconnected with the battery. A potentiometer is used to increase resistance, which means I can dim the LEDs. And while this is not a very power efficient way to dim lights, it is easy to implement.
I have a stash of breadclips, which I used to make pavement with for Warhammer bases, but for Gundam, these are nice plates for extra armour.
