    Redesigned model making room

    After sorting out a painting room, today it's the model making rooms time. Bought a new table, much longer and a bit wider.

    Before, very busy

    I'm impressed Bob.
    What is that thing below the lamp in the last photo? Looks like a wooden block with sticks in it. :thinking:

      It's a "Helping hands" type thing,but a plastic pre drilled base and comes with about a dozen extended padded croc clips Jim
      Got a couple myself ...
      VERY useful

        What Mr smiff said, the lid comes off and you can store the sticks inside. The lids held on with magnets.

        I have also bought a large oasis block to use in the painting room, covered the sides in packing tape to keep the fine dust/ particles in.

          Great Bob. Having a dedicated space that works for you is a great aid to working efficiently I find!

              Might sound strange Bob, but nail varnish stands can work well…….

                    To be honest, Andrew if I sprayed lacquer or any paint in the house, the crown jewels would be history lol

                              I like the light, good reach and angles, you can alter the light power as well
