So with the move coming up, being dormant in the modeling community, my old work bench still set up in my old house (that I know of) in Baton Rouge from 4 years ago......moving to the new house will open up opportunities again for me to get back into modeling.....but I can't do it like I did when I was 15-16 year old old. I don't think the wife would take to kindly to taking over the dining room table (neither did my mother) or spending it out on our bedroom floor......so I am gonna need a new work bench area......I want ideas.....I want pictures, tips, tricks, that more experienced models here have tried and perfected over the years. I wanna see pictures. I have ideas in my head......I have 4 LARGE cardboard boxes full of paint, spray paint, glues, kit bashing parts, complete models, tools, etc....three desk filing cabinets.......I need something to set all this stuff up on......so let's see what you guys use......let's here your ideas......

I have just moved and am in the process of putting together my work bench, this is what I have come up with so far.

One thing I highly recommend is a separate trash can designated for discarded sprues only. This way, if a part is accidentally thrown away, recovery isn't such a big deal. I don't empty that trash can until the kit I'm working on is fully assembled and all parts are accounted for -- saved my @#$% numerous times!
