Two space heaters, that can be seen in the picture, im in NC so its not to bad accept these last two weeks.
... I could see that I would soon be running outta space in my two Ikea cabinets, so after mulling possible ways to add extra shelves, I came upon these rubber sleeved cable clamps with 1/4 holes.
They slip into the vertical rods and are secure enough to hold light weight aluminum rods and plexiglass sheets. Best part is I don't have to disassemble the cabinet to add more shelves!

Great idea. Pantherman
I am taking the opportunity to renovate my space to create a studio area for my builds.
This is where I'm at with it.
Will be painting the walls, new lighting, new flooring, new station. Oh Boy!!

... with todays low watt LEDs, you can really light up the space no problem... it makes such a difference.
When you commented this i didnt know how extensive your work is, you could easily put a narrow bench down the center of the room so you could work on both sides of the ships without shuffling the large parts around, and use the bench to the left for tools and supplies.

Not an actual work space (I shared that a while ago) but this is a pciture of my frankenstein compressor.
I wanted a small tank to smooth out the airflow, but as I had already invested in a not so inexspensive compressor, I didnt want to replace nor did I want to heavily modify it to work with a tank kit.
So I found a cheap tank on Amazon and got some fittings and lines and hooked the tank up in-line between the compressor discharge and the pressure regulator. And this is what I ended up with.
Very happy with the results!

This is my space as it is right now. It's in the middle of an upgrade.
Have you planned exhaust for a spray booth?
Spray booth is in the garage and will stay there.

Yes. The amount of detail just in the cockpit floor is amazing

My name's actually not Steve
This isn't my main modeling bench of course, but my small setup while on vacation at the in-laws' place. They're about a 4 hour drive from where we live and I have a small modeling setup there to work on models while staying there. We just got back from there a few days ago after spending 4 days there and I took these pictures and added this to my blog.

My Man!! THAT is a stash to be proud of. That's going to be a nice home for all those

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get the room back together and start building again.
Just about ready to start building again. I still need to figure out where to put all my paint and tools.
No wonder it doesn't look right! You have to have the walls and most of the floor covered with tools and bottles of paint!
Seriously envious of all that empty space!
