I had to do a bit of tinkering with the power socket as the one that was fitted was none standard. I bought a power lead and suitable socket from Maplin's and installed it on a blanking plate to replace the three pin socket that was fitted. We had some leftover yellow paint that my three year old daughter used on her picnic table to paint the outside of the booth with, which I think looks rather cool. My daughter also fitted the rubber feet to the base of the case and on the fold down front panel. The inside is painted in satin white and the whole booth has been varnished to seal it.
The internal work area is really spacious and could easily accommodate a large diesel locomotive in O gauge or a large 1/72 scale plastic aircraft kit (one of my other interests). The only thing needed now is a length of hose and filter for the extractor and somewhere to use it. Oh, and a large O gauge loco to try out the booth. Anybody got a Class 37/47/50/55 in O gauge they want weathered?
