an where the carrier is 
I do the gluing stuff in the 3rd bedroom, over the last 6 months or so I have been slowly redesigning the bench, bought a few hobbyzone units and more dspiae tools, neater but still not 100% happy.
The spraying is done in the garage, as I use lacquer paints, the smell would mean the loss of my teeth lol. So my builder chum with me as a labourer built a room inside the garage. Not perfect. Constantly fighting bugs, spiders and condensation!
But we are actively looking for a bungalow and I will definitely have a dedicated room. So no more getting to the garage and forgetting something, happens every time!

This is where I do my thing . . . when I do! Hopefully more so moving forward
Note my tiny assistant Bandai Namco '30MinuteSister' Tiasha. That little katana is useful when she cuts parts from sprues with the precision of a ninja!
Although I think she's hid my Typhoon instructions, I'm sure I left them right there!
Mecha Musune is a thing for me now!

Semi retired, so got my own room at last, plus a constant companion!!
The Lightning and F-4 Red Arrows 'what if' are pretty cool but the Labrador is amazing! What scale is it? Ha!
Yes it’s 1/1 from Aireveltamigawa, very rare kit and needed a lot of dry brushing to get the hairy effect just right!!!
Some cracking looking set ups .how many times do we clean our area for it to look a total tip with in a few weeks of building/painting
I'm a bit fussy that way, I really don't enjoy clutter, it's why i have so many little drawers to keep everything tidy, sometimes I have to clutter stuff to photograph it to make it look more lifelike!
It's also one reason I don't 'weather' my builds!
Here’s my little corner of sanity 
Work bench area (obviously
). I keep extra tools, weathering stuff and other assorted odds and ends in the draws, actually they could do with a clean out.
I’ve just put up the cork board. I thought it would be useful for pinning reference photos to.
Spray area next to the work bench.
Paint racks.
The little draws are for all the tools that I use more often. The little easel is very useful for keeping the instructions visible but out of the way of the work area.

That looks just about right to me, orderly, but wouldn't be afraid of messing it up a bit.Here’s my little corner of sanity

Nice painting area too, Iooks like a decent spray booth?
As always, some great work areas.
In my case, as some of you will know, the below table in my kitchen is it. To be honest I do sometimes wonder how I manage to get on with such a small space and turn out vaguely reasonable builds.
My daughter did move out about 9 months ago but she told me that I was not allowed to use her room for modelling purposes......and in any case my wife has claimed it as hers, as a sort of dressing room, as she is now off to work much earlier than me....so whilst I would like the room, at least I don't get woken too early.

Here's my workspace at one end of a bedroom in the converted attached garage.
......having much window envy......
Must admit I'm a bit OCD about mess. I have always been the "tidy" one in our house.
I think it comes from being brought up/taught by my parents to always tidy up after ourselves, and also as my years as a plumber, (many years ago) when I was working in occupied houses, so you had to keep things clean and tidy up at the end of every day.
My garage/study does not always look very tidy, but I know exactly where everything is....!
I always put things back in there proper place, that way you know where they are when you need them.
Also clean up equipment before putting it away, especially important i think with airbrushes.
Grew up in a small flat so tidiness was important, our small 1800's cottage is the same in that respect.
