It depends on how much space/cash you have to put to it but I've been using a cheap kit like this

for a while now and it's not perfect but I've painted 3 whole armies with it, priming, base coating, highlights, fades on power weapons, all kinds of stuff.Acrylics are generally fine but don't breath it if you don't have to, I use a good mask and have the back door open about 2 meters away. I bought a spray booth thing but without extraction it's no better than just using half a cardboard box.

Thanks!
half a cardboard box
I was wondering if I could make a cheap DIY one with a cardboard box, computer fan, 9v battery, and readily available filter (e.g. one from a hoover or cooker hood). Idea being that the filter would catch the paint and you wouldn't need to send the exhaust outside. Don't know if the paint vapour particles are too small though and you'd need a specialised (expensive) filter meaning that it would be cheaper to go with just pumping it outside?

Can anyone recommend a basic/beginner airbrush that doesn't break the bank? Initially it'll just be be for priming and base colours. Spray cans are expensive and clog up wasting paint inside :(
Also are spray booths, respirators, extract fans etc all necessary for acrylics? Reading conflicting things online and all the associated paraphenalia would make it significantly more expensive. If I get properly into it then I can justify it but it makes the cost of entry significantly higher.
