Scale Model Shop

Workbench, show us yours

Always nice to see other people's setups. Can't remember what or how much has changed with mine since the last iteration of this type of thread. I have to split my work between the smallest bedroom for most activity and transporting stuff for airbrushing down the garden to my workshop.

The indoor bench:

I acquired this add-on which was going to be thrown out. Its pretty rubbish in terms of quality but comes in very handy for storing supplies. I think it was previously in one of the kids rooms.

Projects in progress are right behind me - its a really small room. The speakers are plumbed into the hi-fi located in the sitting room below, luckily my amp has dual outputs so I can have music even if SWMBO is watching telly.

Paints and other supplies are in the wardrobe also in the room,,

I spend a fair bit of time musing out of the window...

The whole indoor setup has been made so that it can all be broken down fairly easily and removed if the room needs to be repurposed as a bedroom. Luckily that hasn't happened yet, but smallest Grandchild will be in a bed before too much longer.

Meanwhile, when its time for some airbrushing I have a dedicated space in the corner of my workshop.

Some paints live in here. Its well insulated and I have a frost heater just in case...

Just a small window in here, looking back towards the house. The extractor hose is put out the small ventilator window during painting sessions..

Meanwhile, here's what has been taking up some of my modelling time over the past few months and generating a lot of annoying dust that has to be dealt with between painting sessions.....

Some modelling rooms are utopia, others like municipal tips !
Mine falls into the latter category, so I won't be showing it on here anytime soon!
