ajaycad Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 My latest project, the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito, has highlighted the fact that I needed to seriously rethink my workroom. Two old wallpaper tables and an old computer desk have sufficed for a few years, but due to the size of the Mosquito, urgent upgrades were needed. Here are some before and after pictures, I really cant see how I managed with all that chaos !! Before.....After.....Before....After......In the corner where the table lamp sits is where my spray booth is going, which should be next weekend. Once a few other little shelves and storage bins/drawers are added, it will be complete. It is such a nicer environment to work in, and I like the white surfaces, not sure they will stay that way for long though !! Thanks for looking in. Andy 3
efrick Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Hi Andy! Fantastic renovation! It's amazing the difference white surfaces makes isn't it? Thanks for posting. I love seeing pics of other folk's workbenches. Regards, Ed
GUY5Y Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Great looking space. This may help......on "the bit" I use for cutting and "messy stuff",I cover with dry wall/plasterboard,then with white paper,and tape in place,making sure to cover any cut edges of the drywall(which is also great to cut on) It may not look the greatest,but to regain brand new white surface....just rip the paper off and redo.And occasionally change the dry wall. Enjoy the Mossie! Cheers Guy. 1
ajaycad Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 That's a great idea Guy, I was thinking to myself that I need something to protect those lovely white surfaces. I do have a spare roll of clear Fablon and was thinking of covering the surfaces in that, but your idea seems much more practical.
Dave J Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Lovely looking area! I wish I could have a setup like that... You will find that you will out grow that paint rack... I had to rebuild mine 2 times so far! 1
JonathanReed Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Very NICE indeed! I am loking to build a nice work space. I have the room but now need the time to get in there. This is a great inspiration!
