Good to be back micro modeling after a long time working 1:1 scale Thanks Beefy it is looking the part eh got a lot of detail to add but sadly it won't Thanks Vaoinas for you kind words you should have seen my scratch building when I first started, it also wasn't to the same level as I get to now and still no where near a lot of modelers on this site but just keep trying don't give up because it is a fun part of modeling. Until next time Regards Richard

Sorry I missed your whole build Beefy but wow did that ever turn out very nice Regards Richard

Man that must have been a nasty flu Carius Your model is looking great love all the detail you have added Regards Richard

Very nice scratch work Ciao Regards Richard

Hi Carius it turned out just as I planed, thoroughly enjoy making the hobby room. Well time has flown by can't believe nearly a year has gone by so now it is time to get back to the Churchill, have done a very small update which was to add the drain, grease holes which are under the tank, also made the tray to hold hydraulic tube lines, not much but a start Until next time Regards Richard

Hi Kev did add Sink and Fridge, for CA glue or as you said earlier Regards Richard

Thanks Soeren, yes can do around three other spaces for soldering, shearing etc size of room is 19'-6" x 37'-0" Yes it is a man cave I am very lucky to have such a understanding wife Regards Richard

Hi all, Thanks for all your nice comments have got the hobby room all set up and I thought I would finish my ship Bluenose first (did start this one back in 2010) because we live so close to the sea now. But will be working on the Churchill and Hawker Typhoon at the same time All for now Regards Richard

Brilliant scratch work Kev pure magic Regards Richard

Hi everyone, wow does time fly when you are having fun thanks for all the comments have not been on for a while, but very close to finishing my and my dear wife's hobby room not touch a model since last July Put some laminate down for the floor (no carpet ) then added some cabinets and a small fridge for the CA glue etc, then added a lot of LED lights Put a nice TV in there so that we can watch the hockey games then started making the frame work to hold the benches Then made the bench frame out of 1 x 3 Fir, started by joining two pieces and made Tee's for added strength This is how they turned out Then added 3/4" MDF for bench tops After that was done added 1 x 2 Fir all around edges Next up was then to glue the Formica onto the MDF and route around edges with 1 1/16 bevel tool Painting of the frames are done did not take pictures of that so now just started to put equipment in so next pic's will be of the finish room Until next time Regards Richard

Hi Soeren very nice models will have to buy one of these Takom kits one day Regards Richard

Hi Francis Will look forward to another one of your great builds Regards Richard

Hi John, Its been awhile since I last posted a long 5 1/2 months great start on the Austin, will look forward to your updates Regards Richard

Hi Soeren Thanks for the kind words, its been awhile not done any modeling since my last post everything is in boxes due to moving from Alberta to Vancouver Island to retire after 43 years in the steel fabrication business Bought a house with the basement not finished so here are a couple of pic's showing the new model room I am building in its early stages, room size is 37' x 19'-6" Made a bulk head to cover all the piping and installed sub floor so that I am not walking on concrete Now this has been dry walled Under the stairs will have a compressor and dust collector So until this is finished no modeling for me Until next time Regards Richard

Looking good Richard great start Regards Richard
