Here is the main area - spary booth off to the right, stash above. This one is in the unheated garage

Then there is the backroom desk, the spare room has a small desk I have taken over - this computer and a few spare tools to keep projects moving while it's cold outside.

I'm not posting any shots of my work area. There's a rumor going 'round that FEMA monitors this site, and I don't want them showing up with any blue tarps just because they think it's a disaster. :-) :-) :-) .

My bench. I prefer to keep it nice and tidy. I guess it is a result of too many years in the army...

Sure! Here's a couple of shots, though, they're a bit dated now, but, essentially it's the same.



Wow, I really haven't taken pix of the bench in a while. Things are a bit different, but, it's still where I work.

My bench has changed a little since this pic,

and while the stash is not much smaller, the storage has changed a bit too.

Thanks for the motivation to take some new pics.

Hey Erik are those like magnetic bars you have there for the tools?
If so that is a great idea.

Good for you all having a constant modelling corner. I am more like a renegade. When i poured some enamel paint onto the kitchen floor my mum banned me from every room in the house

Now i have to carry on the hobby illegally

In the dormitory its better but i cant use anything which stinks. Guys, i really respect your kingdoms

My corner. Unfortunately, still without a stack I didn't manage to move to new apartment yet.

M1025 under construction. Gonna have to make some space for the 250/10 halftrack for the campaign.

I built the table with leftovers from a local hardware store. It cost less than 10$

This is where some of my paints sleep. Thick cardboard, a sharp knife and some PVA.
A box full of usefull stuff. Anyone recognize this eagle?

Nice to see where all of you guys work. Really nice and cosy workshops you have!

Cheers!

Hey guys. Here's my hobby room. It was originally the dining room, but it's much too small. I have to keep it clean because my two year old son plays in here while I'm building (thus the reason for the hook latches on all the drawers :-) )
My work bench. It does stay that clean. I'm kinda picky about that.

This is the "business" side of my bench. Drafting/vinyl prep station. Laptop, printer/scanner and vinyl cutter.

My home made airbrush booth. Nice and big. The doors close to allow for drying. The dowel rod is to attach the background paper for taking photos. All the lighting is full spectrum.

My workbench. Just one small corner of my desk, mostly covered in paints. Actual assembly usually takes place while sitting on my bed, which is about 6 inches left of shot.

Don't you feel more like you do now than you did when you came in?
