I agree, I always houskeep after a build, during a build all bets are off, every thing is right where I left it.

Each to their own I suppose. I have to tidy, sort and clean after every session at the bench.

I'm always thinking of additions to help keep things neat. This weekend I decided to build a little paint rack.

I like it!!! I am relegated to the end of the dining room table, I have a "paint room" set up in the family room.
Hard to tell, but my area serves me well despite the limited area.
 
I have this kit. I picked up a resin crew set as well

Will be watching for any tips and taking notes
 
I give the workspace a good going over in-between projects, it's like clearing my mind by clearing the deck.
My Dad worked like that, ask for a particular wrench or tool, his hand would disappear into the pile and come up with what you need on the first grab.
 
Liking your work but wow, does that bench need tidying!!
Sorry, but I'm just a neat freak when it comes to modeling.

You'd have an infarction if you saw mine, then ;) This is the latest incarnation:

I need to add a support in the middle of that hutch back, on the side facing the seat. There is one on the other side, but the plywood shelves sag a little on the seat side. It's not as bad as it looks in this photo, though. The shot's angle creates a bit of an optical illusion
 
Legend is good. I have some of their individual 1/48 figures. The detail is crisp and the castings are clean. They'll paint up nicely.

Brad, I'm almost tempted to hop on a plane and sort that for you!! Going to need tranquillisers to calm down.
That said, if it works for you, that is all that matters. I bet you know where every single thing is.............don't you.
