Share your scale modeling workspace

[Ron2]

I am almost happy with my new workspace. The new spray booth is brilliant, it's twin fan and 2 speed but really quite and the lighting is bright. Well worth the money, would certainly recommend it and the bonus is you can fold it all up and carry it away in less than a minute.

Anyway, some photos of the booth and area. Pantherman

Looks nice. I've got to figure out what I want to do and what my wife will be willing to let me do. Current set up is not working. I'm probably going to ac my garage.

Current set up

Yup, judging by your prolific output, if you can find a separate space, it is well worth setting up in there - for everyone's sake!

Prolific output as in the number of models going through or the FPM rate?

(farts per minute)

I'm going to be slowing down.

I have my area in the basement. I've plenty of room to work, but could use more shelves for built models and all my reference books.

Holy bat stash!

reference books.

Great setup!
When I got back into the hobby, I hadn't figured on so many reference books!
Good thing many are Kindle eBooks, or I'd have run out of shelf space ages ago.

What is the rated CFM on that spray booth?

I feel your pain about the reference books! More bookshelves are always needed.

9 cubic meters/ min. Pantherman

That's fantastic, and it seems you've nearly defeated the carpet-monster!

Yeah the spot I sit and work at is over the concrete. This basement has a French trench or is a "floater" so to prevent anything going into that gap I put pool noodles on top of the gap. Prevention is worth an awful lot of cuss words!

pool noodles

So you can be noodling away at the bench!

Be careful what you say! The other night I thought about posting "I don't want to brag but I've been kicking the carpet monsters ass!" Not two minutes later…

So I'm just about done, got a couple more led strip lights and a much bigger cutting mat to finish it off. Happy with new paint racks, just got to tidy up the shelves a bit. Pantherman

I dunno … looks a little light on paint …

Where did you get that tape dispenser?

Nice set up! I'm split between the garage and a bedroom. Eventually I plan on setting up shop in the garage but that'll have to wait a bit.

You're right, I better get a few more racks.

Dispenser from Temu. Pantherman

Just a very large cutting mat to arrive and I'm done. Pantherman

Better too many lights than too few

Looking good but, we're never done. There's always another bottle of paint to buy, another model you have to have and of course the latest doohickey to bend PE!
