discussion Things we know that help, but do we do actually do them?

I've tried a clean up, well sort of. Did manage the work bench top and one side. After this I gave up and had lunch , then carried on with the box . I had a tidy floor, but now's winters coming I've suddenly found I've got a box of gardening sprays and feeds . Along with two large boxes of Pressed Coffee Logs for the burner . Think it's going to end up with another cull of diorama , probably into the attic.
When it's more presentable I'll post some photos .

Well Tim.....
... What can I say,apart from being very envious!!
What a great set up you have there,and so " warm" looking too :smiling3:
Excellent stuff indeed Sir..... makes my "War office" seem positively puny!!

Tim,
Just been looking at your set up again..... What's with the 8 Rad box on the painting table?!!..... Is there an AFV in the offing that you're going to spring on us ?!!

Morn Mr. Smiff,

Tim finished that kit for the shelf queen GB a while back and should be in the completed section for your perusal Andy. That's probably the box artwork from it in the background...

That’s just the “poster” out of the box for an SKDFZ 263 that I did for the shelf queen GB earlier in the year. It was the one with the convoluted tale of the missing rear casemate door….scratched a replacement after it had been MIA for about four years, and while fitting the new one the old missing one fell out of the inside of the model :tears-of-joy:

Thanks both of you....

Love the tale about the "lost" door...
...... CLASSIC

That’s right….John Dawson Winter the third is his full name Paul….painted for me as a moving in gift by a mate of mine…..he did older and younger Muddy as well.

Here’s something you know will help, but I think few of us actually do:

My anglepoise lamp just gets pulled over the front bench edge if I need to brighten the area and frighten off the carpet monster :thumb2:

Standby for photos of the cave at Race Towers. Unlike Barry I can't often tidy up and I'm waiting for large sections of foam board to dry.


This was after the tidy up !

Old calendar I've just noticed. Nice place to call my own, used to be my office years ago. Feel lucky to have the cave.

Now that’s well lit John…..when you turn those bench lights on the house light probably dim to compensate :tongue-out3: Nice working space though…..

 

[Jim R]

That looks excellent John. Perhaps, with a little tweaking, another application to the TBC would be favourably received. Enclosing couple of £10 notes would certainly help the committee to make the "right" decision.

I’ve got one of those magnifiers, with a round, fluorescent light around the lens, on an articulated arm that is bolted to my work surface. That also reaches down to underneath that surface and gets used more to look for small parts than at them …

Some beautiful work on display Dzohn.

Wow, Jim , I'm both supprised and feel honoured. Mind Christine would tell you I've missed the boxes stacked on the floor ! Shall consider your offer , could you make it a fiver ?

Very helpful for those searches I should think .I'll give it a try next time :nerd:
