Share your scale modeling workspace

Workspace

Nice, dedicated setup you have there!

 

[Jakko]

I was thinking: that looks far too neat and organised for my taste. Then you nicely balanced it with the picture of the stash

 

[BarleyBop]

Found a use for CD rack drawer organizer that has been collecting dust for decades!

Wall mounted: paint pens, weathering pencils, spare micro bits, cheater lenses, sticky sticks, Molotow... etc.

...and I'm not the only person collecting empty carboard boxes!

It even has a cat box … or is that taking realism too far?

I'm remodeling (sic) a bit, started with the paint collection....

Interesting pegboard, where did you get it?

That's the Ikea one.

Space, the model builders enemy, I don't seem to ever be able to get enough. Of course I am my own worst enemy, I hate chucking things out - might need that later .

Currently use them for trash cans but who knows in the future!

Wife said I had to share the space with either her or the cat.

Nice. Are the holders 3D printed?

 

[Edbert]

Nice. Are the holders 3D printed?

Yessir! Allows flexibility like putting the LP paint into red plastic instead of mixing them in with X & XF.

(and good call on the cat, despite occasional odors, they take up a lot less room, and never assign honey-do's)

Correct, "Skadis" is the name.

 

[Edbert]

It will never be "done" of course, and I'm certainly not, witness the pile of stuff on the floor yet. But compare this to previous posts in this thread and you can see much has changed.

The guns and booze dispenser are gone. I'm in the corner with the simracing rig which hasn't changed much, you can see me in the mirror holding a cell phone over my head underestimating the glare of the lights. I'll get some better shots of the building area and waterfall booth after I clean up some more, one of these months.

That's a nice looking space!

I decided over the weekend that if I intend to build a 1/200 ship, the old workbench ain't good enough.

I have fitted 4 threaded rods that I can extend as needed to support new front sections of bench, these will be dry doweled to the original bench.

I have fitted a 150mm section just for general work and I have a 250mm section for wider projects.

I have ordered a 400x900mm cutting mat which will fit perfectly.

WELL Vic like my jen says at times you cant take it with you sir so why not have a good spend out on something you want as i would love to see that 1/200 kit if you brought it here
chrisb an jen

 

[BarleyBop]

i would love to see that

Ya, @Pantherman , wazza matter?

We'd ALL love to see you part with all that cash!

 

[Edbert]

Understood. You can pay $300 (USD, no idea how many Euros/Shillings/Quid that is) for a kit and find the Pontos detail set costs just as much!

The Pontos kit is 440 dollars......
And the Trumpeter kit is £293 so around the 400 dollar mark. Pantherman
