Well here's my contribution a bit of a mess due to the attempted on going build. I share the room with Gill but that's not a problem. I have plenty of space but the only issue I have is the spray booth having to vented through a window opposite my work station it's a real pain. This might well contribute to my lack of modelling. Here's my limited stash at the moment under the stairs.

Fraid you all put my workstation to shame. Because Im a live in carer Im not obvioulsy able to set up a great big workstation, but this does me well enough and triples up as a computer workstation and a place where I can sit at night and write up my notes

cant believe how neat and tidy everyones is .......mine often looks like a bomb has gone off

It's amazing how inventive people are about how they use whatever space they have available.

Special mention to Dave for his 'portable' work station, a very clever solution. I used to work on an old computer table in our front room, which got limited use after the kids left home, and I wish I'd thought of something like that

Cheers

You know what they say Steve.

"It's not how big it is that counts - it's what you do with it!"

Here's mine...Updated a bit. I did have an old table, but I found a more modern desk at our local recycling centre, so for a couple of bob to 'yer man' I came away with what's in the picture - a nice big top and a set of 'goes under' drawers. I don't like keeping my paints ect. in the daylight and warmth, so in the drawers they go.

Here's the noisy end of the loft with a few surviving dios.!

My wife calls this place 'Tut tut' 'cos that's all she says when she's allowed in....and that's only when I unlock the door!!

Very nice Ron, and a nice big window. I like natural light too.

How are you getting on with all those Zulus ?

Cheers

Steve

 

[Guest]

Totally agree Ron , all my paints like you are tucked away in draws and cupboards away from daylight and heat , I learnt that on here when I first joined this very forum ,

for anyone new to modelling - reason being daylight and heat will over time dry out the pigments in your paint ,making them useless be it enamel - solvent and acrylic ie water based paints .

 

[Snowman]

My goodness, you guys are way too organised!!

This is my space, its a bit of a mess! So, you have my apologies.

I've seen worse Gavin... What's the hammer for? I know some models need a bit of adjustment, but a hammer ?

That stash isn't out of control Andy - it's just growing nicely.

 

[Guest]

[Snowman]

Wow, you guys are making me want to improve my set up!!

I'm seriously impressed!

Thumbs up all round!

 

[eddiesolo]

Here is mine, it looks nice a clean and rather bare-these piccies were taken before I 'moved-in' and now it is filthy and paint laden There is also more storage shelves now with my models on, better overhead lighting and a magnifier lamp.
