Cats. got to love the sadistic little fur balls. I find the entertainment value far out weighs the old scratch or 'playful' bite.

agreed............and their whiskers make great antenna for 1/35 armour

when they fall out naturally of course! :P

When I was a teenager I had an old chest of drawers in the cellar. I had to stand up at it. Funnily enough it never bothered me then!

I still stand up to spray....models that is, I'm not a cat

I do sit down for most other model building tasks.

Someone mentioned 'daylight' lamps which is a very good idea. I'm lucky enough to get plenty of natural light where I work but otherwise I would certainly invest in some artificial daylight.

Yes Steve I used to always stand up to to airbrush. For some reason, though reluctant, now living in a flat I sit down as it seemed more appropriate. why no logical eason what so ever. But I have found that this gives me more control especially as I am looking sideways where the spray comes from and not on top.

Cats spraying not heard of that one

No Ian. My personal preference in life has always been females.

My main idea Ian is to keep the worktop as free as possible. On the rear wall of the worktop I will have two shelves 9" deep within easy arm reach. On these I plan to have cake turntables (things used when airbrushing to turn the model around). Load this up with glues fillers etc. and revolve to get what ever you are after.Knives tweezers pliers grips panel line scribes etc etc. all a pest. So will place on sliding drawer runners ply base under the work top to make a sliding tray. Cover with a non slip base. 2 of these one on left with usual stuff (left handed). On the Right all the not used stuff. On the work top cutting mats brushes each type segregated into jam jars same with sanding files. These all on cake turntables etc. Just hope all that works.

Yes cats are fun Ian but dogs are down right stupid. Except our first Labrador could grab a door handle pull down then pull the door open. Eat two pounds of cheese from the kitchen top. Same with a chicken frozen and still in its plastic wrapper. German Shepherd would grab the wheel on the lawn mower and run with it with me on the end. Also trapped a window cleaner up his ladder and his mate had to get Pauline to rescue him. Fact was the children used to play on a climbing frame and the GSD thought it a game to trap the window cleaner. Last Magic a Labrador (came from sister island Guernsey, great mistake explained all) eat half a large bag of dry food in the night and then during her morning walk on the gold course deposited the lot on the 18th. Oh my God so embarrassing. GSD whipped the ball off the tee as the golf club was swinging down. Golfer fell about laughing.

Laurie are you sure that you have a cat? Consider this...All dogs have four legs. My cat has four legs. So my cat is a dog. Simples!

I do agree for some reason a daylight light, is much better to work under,as well it just

has some think ,that makes you enjoy your time at the bench,

and a good rake to have your paints in across the back with other bits and bobs,but still

stick to the idea of a messy bench,invites you to do more

well how all this starts is with the stray tom, and my be sexed one like to go head to head

and if i run off the other he get all, well very upset so bites me in steed,and if your ever

had a cats tooth of 20mm or more sink into you, you know why they yell when have a go at each other,

but on the other hand the 2 girls are great just bring home very very big rats

[Guest]

20mm tooth Moni ?

Does this "cat" have like a orange and black stripes ?

Moni have you considered a cage ?

I believe they do some your size and you could then live in the comfort of not having to endure being attacked and bitten.

On the work place. Think I have mislead. Bedroom second place model room prime of place. Just wanted the room to be acceptable for both.

What an experience sleeping with all my models . Plastic ones that is !

I did rather like the idea someone, Was is Steve, about the sliding door wardrobe idea. Just one hitch with that. The lack of window light. Unless you put it on the wall with the window, but I can't see SWMBO going for that idea.

It's an Idea I might just look into. Not the in front of the window bit, just the sliding doors idea.

Some kitchen cupboard firms over here are starting to produce floor to ceiling units where the doors can open and then slide in to the sides. Cupbords, work top and lighting all hiden away once the doors are closed... Smart idea or what.
