    Your dedication to the craft is amazing. As i see the paints pile up, I think how overwhelmed I would be. It takes a special kinda crazy to be trying all them out, and document it. The community thanks you for your contribution, not only for the paints but in all your usefully content.

    Love the setup, I'm jealous of how much space you have. Spray booth seems to have potential, it looks like the water droplets above it might be contributing to the break in sheeting. I'd probably have to pee constantly using something like that though or fall asleep from the tranquil waterfall and wake up covered in paint.

    You can solve the problem with the waterfall by adding a surface tension breaker. Couple drops of Jet Dry, Glycerine, or some Liquid Dish Soap should do it. I had the same problem with one of those desk waterfalls. Another video suggested adding Rain-X to the glass.
    The sound would make me want to constantly go to the bathroom.

Ohh after you pull the tray out.. I dump the bad water down the toilet an flush I add just alil bit of bleach... if the filter gets too fouled up..

    Thanks for the review. I hadn't seen one of those tested before. It's an intriguing approach to filtering, but I suspect a downdraft booth will still end up working better in practice. Especially if you're piping the air outside anyway. That said, I wonder if an inline water filter for the exhaust would be a more practical way to ensure you're not letting small particulate into the environment and get the best of both worlds.

    Love the Barbatos. I remember when I was stationed in Korea and discovered the joy (and unending frustration) of Gundam models and it revitalized my old love of Gundam having grown up with Wing Gundam and Endless Waltz. Something about the more mechanical design of the Barbatos, like the waist hydraulics, really separates it from the standard Gundam silhouette. Also, your paint reviews have helped a ton, especially after moving back to America where I can't just walk to the Gundam base and pick out paint in person with samples and have to buy online based on inaccurate thumbnail representations. Might get a waterfall fume extractor, but my little $100 Amazon extractor has been working just fine for me

    I would think you could only use acrylics because they are water based. I have seen someone use enamels and lacquers in a bucket of water. They just skim the paint off the water with a paper towel. I would not recommend disposing it in the sewer system. You do alot of testing of just about everything. Excellent work.

    Interesting type of spray booth. Nice find. Seems that you were lucky to get one... both sites, that you suggested, has it sold out. As far as the paint sticking to the glass, maybe you can use a glass cleaner to help break the bond on the glass to allow the water to flow over it.

    Thank you for all the testing you do. I enjoyed all your video. That booth is a beauty but a bit pricy. But certainly something to keep in mind. Thank you.
