MicroGaz Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hello all, New member, been a lurker for ages and decided to finally take the plunge by joining and de-cloaking... From Manchester, long time modeller but returned to the hobby about 2 years ago. Mostly aircraft modelling, 1/48 and larger, but will try my hand at any genre. Retired now and living alone, so very fortunate to have the time to indulge my hobby! Lucky to have a third bedroom converted to my workshop-used to build in the shed outside but long cold winter nights forced me indoors! there are obviously some fine builders in here so no doubt I'll be picking your brains from time to time with my stupid questions Once I get myself sorted, I'll post up some of my builds, here are a couple of my workshop to start with. It's actually changed a little since taking the photos, it's a constant WIP! Cheers Gary 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Gidday Gary, welcome aboard. That workspace doesn't look natural I'm afraid - too neat and tidy. GET SOME CLUTTER! 😁 Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Welcome Gary, That's a fantastic looking workspace & I noticed a cheeky little Schwimmwagen too. I'm based up here in the hills to the east side of town - Mossley - on the edge of Saddleworth. I look forward to seeing some of your completed builds - you certainly have all the gear for it. Catch you soon - Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraway Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 To the forum, got to say that workshop looks very professional. Got to agree with @ArnoldAmbrose it’s too tidy, mine looks like a bomb site, even when I’m not building something. I think I might steal some ideas from it, though. You’re in the right place for all those obscure questions, there is a HUGE amount of knowledge here and everyone is helpful and friendly.

MicroGaz Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 I must admit, I did a clean up before taking the pics..it's not usually that tidy, believe me 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Welcome to the site, and a very nice looking workspace you have there. I am a bit restricted in mine, but when Mrs T retires we plan on moving and so I hope to get some more room. I live over the Pennines from you but on the M62 spine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troffa Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Welcome to BM, love your workbench- very inspirational. Are there any Model shops that I could "accidently" stumble across during my trip to Manchester this weekend? My Missus will love it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
