ExRAF Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 1. It's a bit on the tidy side compared to mine. 2. We shop at the same outlet for jam (and I also use the jars for storage!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankymodeler Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks for posting that, it makes me feel better that there is someone with a work bench almost as cluttered as mine!

rowmk9 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My workbench is invariably a bit of a mess. I keep my paints and tools in a drawer to the right of the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyeomanry Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 This is my spot in the garage - bit cold in there at the moment so tend to move into the kitchen to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Too embarrassed to post pics of mine. There are at least seven kits in various stages of build on it with sprues, glue, tools, decals and assorted crap everywhere. My mate visited recently, he couldn't understand how I could find and build anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverburn Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) You'll say I have OCD or something, but here's mine... Ironically, just after a bit of a clean up. All the gubbins in the wee cupboard (spray "booth" and rattle cans in the garage). Top drawer - painting & weather, 2nd - building and smoothing, 3rd - scratch building bits, 4th - powertools. Little dish is for decals...or cakes. Out of shot - iPad for streaming of movies, music or live TV. Or for trawling that thar interweb for reference material. In back of shot: Apollo...errr...something. I hated it. It's there to remind me of how grateful I should be, when a kit is fighting me. I like to keep the reference paint colours blue-tacced to the light, then, when I don't believe them, I look up the internet On the bench: see sig below.

Dave Batt Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 By mutual agreement I'm inclined to work outside in the "shed", which was erected by a previous house-holder who fancied herself as a dressmaker. It's insulated and powered up, and about 10' x 8'. This is the 'building corner', with an old office manager's desk covered with a thick clear plastic desk protector. Shelves behind for reference books, etc. The shelves at the back were for display of built models, but odds'n'sods like aftermarket stuff, DVD's and CD's for entertainment and free flight models have pushed them out. This corner has a little chest of drawers with my aftermarket stuff in it and on the shelves above, and a chest for enamels and airbrushing stuff on the wall. Acrylics I keep in the house during the winter months - even though there's an electric oil radiator on a thermostat and time switch I don't like the idea of the temp dropping below zero and freezing the paints. The box in the bench is where the built models end up - with others in the garage until there's a show for them to see daylight. This corner is my version of a 'spray booth', note the cheap bathroom extractor fan in the back of a converted old-style computer workstation. A 2' x 4' slab of chipboard replaces the original workstation desktop. Not the best place for a TV - this gets covered with an old towel when I'm spraying, just like putting the budgie to bed. And looking at these makes me think I really ought to go and tidy the place up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 all very good.... mine is just an old office desk that gets covered in newspaper when I am modelling........ but looking round i see a few things I need to add (light being the main (and easy to rectify) one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've taken over my son's old room. Still a work in progress, but so far has a nice big office desk and matching leather swivel chair (courtesy of my gf) Built in wardrobe houses the stash.... Wardrobe doors are now extra large shelves. Waiting to get some bookshelves to house my reference and magazines. After that it's a TV for the X-box and computer and another desk to use when I eventually get my first airbrush... Pics to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well, I model on a 'tray' on my knee in the front room, though it never normally looks this tidy! However, house hunting next year, and I have permission for an extra bedroom as a modelling room! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thats because I tidied up before I took the pictures (quite a while ago!) Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Here's mine for what it is worth. We have an integral garage which I have converted. This is how I hope to eventually have my room. Love the display cases.... If I had a garage tho, it would be full of my half built cars......(my other passion) Edited January 12, 2011 by Devilfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRAF Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I was a little dissapointed (not jealous, obviously) in the introduction of the shed to this topic, as it takes us to a new level of sophistication. I'm definitely not jealous and the more I say it, the more believable it becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Mine's in my garage - these pics were taken a while ago now, and more shelves have been added: My screen is now directly in front of me, as it was giving me neck ache on the left there. This area is a total dump now, and there are shelves on the back wall. Again - shelves on the back wall, and photobooth installed where the two worktops meet. Of course, it's a lot messier than it appears in these photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
