Within the next week or two I'll have my air brush and compressor as well as a place to spray hopefully so it'll all be coming together. Just like Hannibal used to say

You and me both my friend. As much as I try I end up with barley enough room for the kit even though I clear it up before every project. Once I figure out how to do it I'll post a couple of pictures.

Are you expecting uninvited guests or is the sidearm for decoration???

digger303 wrote: Thu Apr 09, 2020 12:50 am I can see the makings for a good bench area, but like mine I would if I could double the room size... I'm guessing.

digger303 wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 12:39 am A wide shelf all along the top of the room for the stash and to maximize space. Where's the paint booth going ?
Paint rack is good. It's coming together well, I wish I had made room for a TV/monitior like you did. I'm still thinking about how I can squeeze one in.

It still needs to be somehwere to keep all my tools and welding gear but I am now making it a much cleaner workspace for the sake of all things modelling.

There is a deskspace similar size to that in the previous photo on the opposite side that will have my spary booth and a few other things on it. I will then have a few other tools including a 3d printer (just ordered) on a narrower bench that runs between both desks.

I'll get up another photo when its looking more complete.

I think this is something all us Modellers do, once we complete a Model or Project.
Strip the Bench down, put tools away, Clean Brushes in a cleaning Solution of choice, Hoover the floor and generally tidy away and get ready for next project.
NO!
This must be me then
I finished the Eduard, Profipack, 1/48, BF109G-6 yesterday, and no soon as the AK Engine Grime was still wet, I stripped the Bench down.
I have an old Blue Towel on top of Bench (The Bench / Table is an old, 1930's Teachers Desk I rescued from a Skip outside one of the schools I look after in Stafford), to protect the lovingly waxed and polished top, I lay this thick Blue Towel over the top.
Took all my Mugs, which serve as storage for tools off, all tools are cleaned, and new blades inserted into Scalpels and other Hobby Knifes.
All Brushes cleaned, and put away, all Paint Pots checked for tops properly on, and cleaned around tops.
Floor Hoovered, Bin emptied and generally and good clean-up. Its my end of Project Mantra, and it works for me.
Then everything put back on bench, and Cutting Mat flipped over Some buy a new Cutting Mat, but this one is still going strong, the new one is under it
Here are a few shots / images of my beloved Man-Cave, place of contemplation, many Prayers (is this bloody thing gonna stick on, and where the hell did that ping off to? )








Ready for next project / and excited as to what to start?
Thanks for looking in on my little world.
This place has helped me through some very grim times .
My wife rolls her eyes at my M/C, she contemplates how much money I have spent (never, never fess up ).
She also knows, its kept me on this Earth, and helped my Black Dog everyday.
Thanks for having a read of my ramblings.
You are honoured to have looked in here, even my Mum & Dad, and closest friends have never been allowed in here. So apart from Electrician who did Power and Lights, and my wife, you are only person to have been graced a look. Your all honoured indeed, but then again, you understand and your friends.
Take good care all,
DW
