Here's mine, I've posted it before, both in my WIP blog here on site, and in the show us your workspace thread....

But in those it was unusually clean and semi organized!

This is how it normally looks, no wonder I never finish things!

Russ, where in the world do you do any work in that mess? Geez, and I thought mine was bad!

Dave, now that's dedication, keeping a roll of toilet paper at the bench with you so you don't have to stop what you're doing.

Thanks Bob! it's actually for cleaning up spills and the like, although my space is in our undeveloped basement, so no plumbing done down here yet....those twelve stairs to the main floor are a long climb sometimes....

Note also the golf clubs at the ready; being handy tools for a) dealing with a bad paint job, b) enhancing the results of a completed build falling onto the floor, c) simulating battle damage to a scratch-built diorama building, and d) quickly clearing/reorganizing the work surface....

I really need to take up golf! ⛳️

Mark, that's probably a better use for those 2 clubs than their original design specs say they should've used....one's a 2 Iron I've only hit twice, and the other is a wedge which is useless because I can't locate it's 2 mates....matched wedges is the only way to at least look cool while slashing and hacking up your own course!!!

So it's no coincidence that GOLF is just FLOG spelled backwards? I like a nice stroll in the country as much as the next bloke, but I prefer not to spoil it with that little ball.

Wow! I seem to have touched off a minor storm of public opinion by posting my workspace.... seems golf isn't the most well liked "sport" in the modelling community....

It's been pretty good to me these past 23 years....but I only truly got into the business so as not to have to pay to play it. Even back then, it was more than I could afford.....and has only gotten steeper!

I really don't play much anymore, I once played 185 rounds one year. And now that my girl is in school, I want to spend more time with her....golf can come in farther down the top ten....

And the fact it's very time consuming is another tentative problem....

But enough of the game, I'm going to go model for awhile....

MY desk during a build is relatively neat, clear and organized...



... but during long waiting periods or the gathering of parts in between stages is when the clutter and the shame begins.

I usually keep things as tidy as possible, especially when I have multiple projects going.

So this is what my bench has looked like for the last year or so (ok, the soldering iron is new):


Right now my bench & stash are just taking up space in the basement.
