Army_Air_Force Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Way back on page 4, in 2017, I posted my workshop pics, a 23x12ft extension on the house, built in early 2000. It served me well for 21 years, allowing me to build everything from Airfix, to model railways, to giant R/C aircraft, to a 1/1 scale WW2 Jeep restoration. A month ago, I moved house and left the room behind. Finding a house that was suitable for a workshop, a dark sky with a decent garden for my astronomy and somewhere for my military vehicle fleet, plus all the usual things you need from a new house, was a challenge - but we got there! It's taken almost a whole month to strip out the contents, benches and units from the old place and then rebuild a replacement workshop at the new house. The new room is 20ft square, but with one corner loosing a few feet to another room. Bar plumbing in the sink and some edging strip for the cut benches, it's now done and here it is. The main building bench. Before and after of a general view with the main bench on the right, woodworking on the left and painting and resin just to the left of the doors. The metal working area, before and after. Woodworking area with a sink just out of shot to the left of the scrollsaw. Just behind the entrance door is a shallow cupboard. This is becoming a display area and a photographic studio. I need to build a generic grass/concrete dispersal area and background for doing photos against. The A4 background is only really big enough for 1/72 scale and smaller 1/48 models. EDIT - The new diorama/photographic base is now complete and has been added to the display cupboard.

MrB17 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Some pictures of my stash and hobby room, this represents only a small portion of the kits I have made, most have gone to friends and family or gone to the planet with all the missing socks haha. Using Scalemates and old photos, I can safely say that I have built about 325 models to date, that includes commissions and gifts. I love nostalgia modelling and I am long over the contest modelling that I enjoyed in the 80’s and 90’s. The PBY’s are Revell, with the only modification being the engines parallel to each other, any drawings showing them splayed outwards are wrong. The Dakota’s are Airfix in the various incarnations and a couple of fantasy. The Stirling is Airfix, the B-17’s are Revell (early), Matchbox and Hasegawa. The newer Revell kit is in the case. The Liberators are Revell, and the 1/48 is an old Monogram kit from 1978, in the process of being restored. The B-29 is Airfix, the Boston is Matchbox, the G8N Renzan is Hasegawa, the Duck is Airfix made for my late father like the one in “Murphy’s War”. The He 111’s are Italeri on the ceiling and Hasegawa and Airfix (new). The Lancaster is old Revell, the 1/24 Mustang is Airfix with dropped flaps and compressed oleo’s, the Hurricane is Airfix under restoration. A few of these I managed to keep going back to early 70’s. I have an RC B-17 there, and various other projects. My stash is purposely misleading, many kits are desprued and in the same box, and many bagged kits in the tubs. Not shown are my 36 1/48 B-17’s, they are in tubs in the attic. I am seriously considering getting rid of my 1/48 and larger kits, as you can see my room is small and I simply don’t have space for them. I have a different plan for the 1/48 B-17’s. The Tuxedo in the photos is Jester, Hector was not willing to pose. Snow is a rarity in this part of Canada, but it looks pretty for a few days. I also collect some vintage paraphernalia as you can see in the photos. For your delight and edification: Jeff 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 And it’s done though no longer pristine as I tested some painted last night and made a little bit of a mess, and indeed neither of the two models on the cork board I’ve worked on as their paint guides are on my pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
