I have the same Proxxon tool, but don't use it too often. For me even the lowest speed setting is too fast, mostly. I used it for the portholes of the USS Arizona, where it was perfect, given the thick plastic and used the mini circular saw blade for superstructure surgery. Most times though, I prefer to work hand tools, as they are more controllable.

Recently, I ordered the tiny DSPIA USB drill 7 sander, but it hasn't arrived yet. I have high hopes for a bit more versatility.

As with Rob, mine doesn't get used a huge amount , but for stuff like metal tracks , or a lot of repeat drilling it's great for me .

I had the last couple days off from work. Sue wanted a storage bench by our front door. I used wood that I brought home from work. It was leftover from when the shop closed so after lots of cutting, sanding and assembly, I made the bench.

In the front hall.

I also made a cubby that will go above it.

Just need a couple days of warm weather so I can apply a coat varnish and they'll be done.

What’s on my bench?

Everything!

My bench is a disaster area, always was, is, and always will be.

I’ve been picking away at this, and so far, it’s been a quick, fun build. My first full Revell build since I was 11 years old. 
My last Revell build was the first edition 1/32 Hurricane, so it’s fitting my next Revell build 45 years later is the new Revell 1/32 Hurricane.  I just stuck the prop on the shaft for a laugh. 
The last one was brush painted with Testors glass bottle paint, and assembled with Testors red tube glue.  That’s all we had available to us back then

I had the airbrush out for some work on the Whirlwind so I thought I'd clear coat some cockpit parts. 

These are the ZM F-4EJ parts with the kit decals. 

The IP' came out great. The F4's are where ZM really shines. I built mine a while ago and decided against AM parts for the Instrument panels, as the decaled kit ones looked good. If only they would provide seat belts.

Cheers Rob

Sounds just like my bench Ernie. If it's clean, it only stays that way for a few minutes.

Thanks Phil! Don't forget a gun barrel too. 

Well, I'm calling it done. Actually a fun kit to do. Not too complicated.
