discussion Going awol

Well technically I can start building again

Bench is set up, tools and gubbins set out how I want them, shelves full of models, racks full of supplies, paint all sorted out

All I need to do is bodge a spray booth which will go where I stood to take the pics........ And some suitable pics on the walls as I find some

Got stuff to do the next few days so plan on breaking open a box on Monday..... Yippee

It's been very satisfying setting things up just how I want them

Very nice studio you have there Paul, including the essential toast rack on your bench! Ha!

Miko (toast seems to be a thing today, i think I'll have some. . . brb. . . .

Saw an ad somewhere.... Guy selling 3d printed sprue racks for about 20 quid...... I bought a 1.99 toast rack

I'm the other way with tidiness...... Love to tidy up and put away everything once a project is finished...... Just so I can start again

I have a nice bamboo letter rack, which I don't use!

Well Paul you have it all sorted. Clean, dry and organised. Now all you have to do is choose from the stash and "sitting comfortably you can begin"

Easy.... First will be 'American icons gb'........ Then finish something I found half built....... But then things get complicated lol

Got my wall displays up today which made me happy

Next will be a trip to ikea to see what display cabinets they have but nearest one is about an hour away...... Need something to put the bigger stuff in cos these are quite narrow

And yes I know the lotus 7 is pointing in wrong direction

Looks good! I prefer the more narrow and flatter wall mounted display rather than the free standing cabinet type, you've certainly got them nice and cosy in there!

As for the Lotus, it's kind of fitting, Colin Chapman wasn't one to follow convention preferring innovation and critical thinking
