Global Scale Modeller

not bad for a hobby shack....where are you going to live

The hobby room is in the basement, so ... upstairs obviously.

Considering I've only been at this for a few weeks and my first kit is still WiP...I'm quite chuffed with this!

Only temporary because wor lass has given me instruction to "go and buy a shed...just for you!"

I was very lucky in that a mate was selling up all of his kit...so I jumped in and bought the lot!

Slick setup!

The Abteilung 502 paints you got on the wall there, what are you using to hold those up? I can't see it properly.

Hi, it's a wooden bored with 3 lines of small hooks, a bulldog clips on the end of the oil paints




Hope the pic's help

Good job I don't tell anyone I've won the lottery

Its given me a space saving, doubling of paint storage capacity idea....thanks......who knows how long it will take me to do that...hahaha

Added a bit of artwork to my hobby space. My gf drew the B-25J, I'm waiting on her to finish a Spitfire and Raiden to put up there.

Here's a quick pic of it though

Holy crap!

My jaw just dropped and went through to the next level.

All those paints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhh the sink! That is the best part, I have always wanted one in my hobby room!

Here is mine!

It's basically the hobby room/makerspace.

3D printer in one corner, spray booth and work area. Plenty of other stuff off camera and in the wardrobe too!

Well here it is. Three photos. Just how it is in the middle of a job.
I am currently building a lift-span bridge diorama for the Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum.

Very cool workspace, liking that and that bridge looks great

All right slowly getting the new house sorted

Have managed to clear a space in the 1 car garage to set my tables up.... a lot smaller space than I had... the joys of down sizing. ....

Work in progress.....

Uhhh there is a BBQ in your living room....shrimps for the barbie and all that rot
Did you guys move then???



Oh shrimps...we had some wicked fresh shrimp in Hawaii, really huge guys and my wife made a ginger lime butter sauce for them. Mmmmm

I would like nothing better than a bbq in the kitchen... but Carbon Monoxide is bad mkay.....

Yeah we got kicked out of the long term rental we were in... almost 6 years worth of accumulated crap to sort through. This place is a little smaller and only a single car garage..... which the bike needs space in.... have managed to crave out a little space for my hobby corner....
Its used to be a whole room..... I think it will take me a while to get everything sorted

Shoot, sorry to hear that
Housing and rentals are a huge issue over here....gov didn't protect neighbourhoods vs foreign investment invasion so costs are absolutely retardedly expensive. If we didn't own the house for 15 yrs and build the new one ourselves, we could not have afforded it. Finding a rental is no easy feat either high demand low supply.
I hope you got something that will work out for ya.

Cheers buddy, it is smaller than we are used to but hey, that a good excuse to get rid of all the crap that hasn't been used for ages....

Slowly getting there with it all. The bike has her side of the garage and im slowly craving out a space for my models in here as well

Looking a little more like a work space now

It's a bitch moving and packing , unpacking and then sorting it all out.....painful

Like to see that bridge when you finish it if not before

I'll check it out..thanks

This is my workbench.

I finally finished assembling my new bench today. That also means that I can now show my new spray booth in its final place.
The hose is obviously not attached yet, the vent is right above the booth.

It's slowly starting to take shape.

looks promising

I hope so. I still don't have a definite plan about tool storage.

This is a super organized little space
I like the hanging storage racks on the sides...I see a place for Evergreen Styrene on one side and paints on the other.
Might have to steal some of those those ideas
Something about a nice small efficient space
Well done

I never said they were perfect plans.

My current workstation is only temporary because I've got a 12x10' man cave on the way (Summer House) but it has to last me for another month or so and was getting a bit overwhelmed with my gear.
Considering that I've only been doing this for a couple of months, I've amassed a fair bit of kit!

A trip to Ikea yesterday has helped a lot...here are some pics, incl a before and after.

Awesome Nothing wrong with that tidy organized space
Looking forward to the hobby shed build....take lots of pics, it is funny how much you will forget when done and fun to look back on gettting it done

Thanks Scott.

Yeah, I can't wait...there will be lots of pics

Very nice

good stuff, be good to see how the shed evolves.

Just finalising design and waiting for groundwork to be done...Hope to get it delivered in around a month. Fingers crossed!

If it doesn't have a figure in green tights and a pointy hat on the roof I will be very disappointed.
May I suggest the following:

One of my favorite Looney Tunes.

Ha Ha, mine too
I have a Retrokit resin figure of Daffy from Ultimate I have to make up one day

Added some more art to the space. My gf likes to make drawings of the stuff I've built. Secretly, I'm training her to recce WWII era aircraft. So far she can discern a B-25J, Spitfire, T-45 and F/A-18F.

I also, ask her a lot about what country a plane is from and she's started picking up on roundels. So, without my knowing she made up a chart of the USA roundels we've used historically. I think I will keep this gf.

The Raiden is the paint scheme picture from the Tamiya kit. It just looked really nice and fit well into a 10"x8" frame.
