What he said.... You need to get some overspray all over everything to get it right proper!

Nice set up for sure Yevgeny! But it needs messing up like this (just before the renovation):

Just after. Been back in the modelling caper just over a month, built the shelves today. Totally stoked! Getting there:

Thanks again for all your welcomes too fellas. Look forward to catching up on everything.

Thanks guys

Simon that is a sure improvement

Great shelf
The bare light bulb has that interrogation room effect

Tangles · Post by **Tangles** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 8:48 pm

lol Scott, not a bad idea I might set up a dio with some guy strapped in a chair! I spent a couple of hours at my new workbench last night and it was heaven!
I did have two very small "spice racks" set up before, which I emptied onto the desk I was so keen to get the shelf up (managed to deglue my cockpit IP on the F/A 18 I'm building in the process!), so it wasn't this messy ever, but thought it was a good opportunity to see how a decent shelf can clean things up. Scored 4 melamine shelves 1200x200x15 (for nothing!!) and cut and shut. Shelf is 100mm deep. Drop saw and bench saw was used, the drop saw handled the shelf rebates easy. bit of thin mdf for the back. Bob's your uncle. Thanks for the comments.

I currently live in a 3 bed house so the spare (box) room is my own private little oasis!

I envy you guys for having your own man cave.

Unfortunately I must make all my modelling work in my office and the painting on the balcony

I've just cleaned it after I've finished my latest models but "in reality" is way dirtier

Is there anyone keeping their compressor in the wardrobe like I do, ha ha?

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Nov 19, 2014 5:08 pm

I love that picture above your desk... Says it all haha! Those bins for your paints are really cool too.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Wed Nov 19, 2014 5:52 pm

Super clean , modern space Skat
Good to be spraying outside and saving your lungs!

SyntaxModels · Post by **SyntaxModels** » Thu Nov 20, 2014 11:46 am

My little modelling nook that also happens to be the corner of my bedroom, and my computer desk, thank god I have a laptop!

A little bit of chaos where the paint is stored but hey, deal with it! (another desk by the way)

And my secret little box of spares (not much to spare) and general junk!

I see you have Antony Beevor's Berlin and Stalingrad, I've just been reading his book "D-Day" and I love it! It's a great little collection of stories and such, I haven't read any of his others but I'll have to give them a look because according to the reviews on the first few pages, they are "on par with his masterpieces such as Stalingrad". Just a quick recommendation from me

I share my space with a 100 pound dog!!
Her head is taller than the desk, so I have to clean up the desk edge so she doesn't get that snoofy snout up there and eat my plastic

She is like a floor shark, just waiting to slurp up whatever I leave in her vicinity

Really well put together

SyntaxModels · Post by **SyntaxModels** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 5:00 am

I'm jealous of all these well thought out purpose built workspaces!

TheArturro · Post by **TheArturro** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 5:16 pm

Wow! All of your modelling areas look great

Now, it's my turn. This is part of the room where I do my model kits. Because of the fact that I'm a teenager and I live with my parents, I haven't got a lot of space.

My desk and an air compressor with an airbrush:

I think I will clean my messy desk up now tonight

Here's one part of my work area with a couple of my other hobbies present:

I now have a workbench set up at right angles to the right side of the desk. It's made up of a hollow-core door (30" x 78" or 76.2cm x 198.12cm) sitting on two sawhorses and it topped with acoustic ceiling panels used for pinning parts when I'm building RC planes. There is also a set of rolling storage drawers to my left that I use for tools and supplies. My paints are sorted in old plastic cigar boxes stored in the large bottom drawer on the right of the desk. I've been designing a dedicated modeling bench for when I construct my man cave. It will have paint racks, multiple storage nooks, electrical outlets, a dedicated space for my compressor, paint booth, adequate lighting, and drawers for storing tools and brushes. There will be separate benches for RC planes and general hobby use.

Now if I just had a place to build that man cave....

I cleaned up my winter work area today and got the airbrush in from the garage

This is where my wife says "go play with your toys"

Ibflattop · Post by **Ibflattop** » Mon Dec 08, 2014 1:36 pm

My workspace is my 2 car garage that I share with the wifes Mini van. The freezer, Water softener, a shelf with cleaning supplies and the garbage cans. ( Wait I will have to check the Condo agreement) Maybe the wife has a reason that the cans are in the garage? hehehehehe
Right now my workbench is stacked with boxes almost to the ceiling,Not all are my modeling though. Some of the boxes are my wife's cook books. Some are my sons with his stuff, and then the rest are mine with Model trains, Cars, Armor, and the rest are 1/6th scale Action Figures. I hope that in the spring that I can get out there and go thru the boxes and put the stuff away in the drawers. Get rid of the empty Boxes from the move to the new Condo. Then I can get down to building again. After a few months off from letting the plastic sprues flying thru the air, I am kind of getting buggy from not building. Hummmmmm, I wonder if I can last until warm weather hits in the spring? I might just have to set up a temporary spot in the three season room so I can smell the fumes. Well maybe I can make it, maybe I should start building over at the sister-in-laws since she put a stink up about making the three season room into a Hobby room when we were moving in. Hey wait this is my house, She don't live here! What is she trying to say?????? I will just start building in that room....

That's just the way I am, I got to stir the pot just a little more.......

At our old house, I almost had a run if the basement. Well I had a big room for the train layout, then just out of that room I had a room where I built my models. That was a great set up. But I will have another great setup soon. I will just have to have to wait just a little time longer. Then the sprues will be a flying........... Kevin

Progress report after two months back in the hobby:

Two months ago:

A month ago:

Now. (It's messy because I'm nearing the end of a GB elsewhere and it's panic stations. lol):

I had to pan back for the last shot to fit everything in. The first two shots were just a desk. I think I need more yet, there's a little bit of space to my right to fill yet. lol

Have you moved to Spain as your primary residence or seasonal??

That's a pretty fly workspace, Lee.

Although why do you have a standard hobby air compressor? I thought you had that wonder of the world oil based one.

I had absolutely no room to bring it! Shipping wasn't an option because of weight and fragility. Just about managed my old cheapo Chinese one! Getting another very soon as that one is pants...
