Mines usually kept relatively clean (compared to other users on this board).

Mine usually stays clean for about 2 seconds when I start a new model. After that I usually end up with about an eighteen inch square that I am actually working in. The rest of the space is full of kits and all the stuff it takes to make it happen. I don't understand it. It just happens. And I do not want to stop working on the kit for clean up. Time for that after the kit is done.

Wow...I feel like a table hog compared to some of you guys. I have two drafting tables and a card table in my room, and still feel like I don't have enough table-top!

It's for "extreme" weathering.

Man, I'd never keep something as destructive as that so close to my models. :-)

Hi there, My workbench looks as if a bomb went off...but strange enough, I seem to be able to find everything I need like blindfolded!!
Once in a while I've been ordered by the General,(as in..my wife.), to tidy up a bit.
This works only hours, because I can't work on a tidy bench...I'll guess I'm lost forever!!

Greetz, John.

The sledgehammer is what I use for my anvil when hammering wire to a flat finish. I have filed flat surfaces to it and is a great tool for scratchbuilding...and as a "stop" when glueing parts together and need the "third" hand lean against and position wherever on my table I need..

And I did like THOR comics when I was a kid, but, I'm nearly 50 now, so I use it to fend of the kids and kritters too.

Well, I haven't got a desk just for modelling so I used an arc in my room to work.
