Spray Painting Booths or Enclosures for models / airbrushes?

I'd be interested to hear where modelers here do their spray-painting. The options I have are all with their problems... Most of my modelling is done in the bedroom or dining room - spray paint on the duvet of dining table would probably result in divorce. My layout is in the loft, where there is no ventilation and excess spray could end up on the layout. The only other options are the garage - full of bikes and very dusty, or outside where the risk of contamination is too high.

Do people use spray booths to contain the spray? Anyone got photos of their set-ups?

In the shop kitchen (it's well ventilated and has an outside door) with the model been sprayed inside a cardboard box which I sling after it has served its purpose.

I have incorperated a spray booth in my shed ( 4' x 6') at head hight above my desk, I have fitted the shed with 2 solar powered fans for ventilation and fume extraction for spaying and soldering, the spray booth is big enough to swing a

7mm class 40 around on my turntable, i fix an old sheet under the booth to protect my work bench.
