Or make one? Get a cooker hood from the local tip or somesuch location. A kit to add a vent to the outside is less than £20. (espares)I got mine from a house refurbishment and scrap wood. Cheaper than the shop bought ones and you can make it to suit...small or large enough for...... There's a design in Finescale modeller does a design in one of its pamphlets.
Cheers Adam

the only thig i see wrong with using extractor hoods is they are usually mounted above the model so drag the paint away , ideally the extraction should be below the model . this way it extracts fumes and overspray , but also pulls the paint towards the model . other options could also be computer fans 120mm (say 4 of) , but i would say under rather than over is the best option IMO . also i,d like to wish everyone a belated merry christmas , sorry i havent been posting much but i,ve kinda hit a patch where i dont feel like modeling at all and im in a rut of late . hopefully it,ll come back some time soon

well I went around all the hardwear stores today and had a good look around at these extractor hoods..... and hey presto I managed to pick up a bargain.... £59.99 for a unit that sucks at 320m3/per hr what ever that means, what i do know is that out of the many unots i looked at today it had one of the biggest sucking capacities..... what I plan to do is build a box for it to sit on, so it draws the overspray upward, but when not in use the unit will lift off the top and slide into it self..... ...more to follow. ;D

well my dad and I made a booth to fit underneath the hood, its designed so when its not in use the hood slides inside the booth... just need to paint the booth and get the filter material. so far including the wood and screws it cost me about £83....
