I am looking for a place that makes modeling station/work desks. I am using my old computer desk at the moment, but am in the market for something built to model on. Can be cheap as hell too.
The little tray in front is my "anti-carpet monster" tray. Catches about 95% of the little parts before they get lost to the floor. I bought a work bench at the local hardware store as a side table as well. https://davidsscalemodels.com/gallery/the-studio/
I added a large cutting mat and taped a piece of glass which is useful in working with photo etch and painting.
That setup is the jam. It is pretty close to what I had in my head. I live in Germany, so for me so far anyway, I have been having a hell of a time finding a place to buy that kind of stuff outside of Ikea....and I hate Ikea.
