BlrwestSiR Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I don't know Ernie, I mean you have enough room on your bench for a box top. I don't think I've ever had a kit box on my bench. Carl 3

I can't generally start a kit and just work on it alone until it's done. JohnB does that to perfection, and it's amazing to me that someone can do that. Me, I work till I burn out, move to something new and work on that till I burn out. It's just how I do it. Except for GBs and such. If everyone's working together, then the excitement stays higher. Plus, because I like resin, getting burned out on certain aspects of it happens, and all I can say is that I have to shift around. Sad... Ernie….I hear Ya buddy!!! 3
Drifter Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Sigh, my 1/24 Trump P-51. I stripped the paint of this damn thing three times. After the 1st paint scheme, the Trumpeter decals just disintegrated as soon as they touched the water. Ended up with this, decaling stage. This is my 1st 1/24 build in as many years. 6
Martinnfb Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 Cool , thanks for sharing guys, here is mine as of tonight 4
Kais Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Ernie's bench reminded me, we have great work spaces that most of us manage to clutter to the point where we end up working in an area at the very edge of the bench not eceeding 2 inches by 4 inches!! Mea Culpa. Nice work on the C model Martin, where did yours go Ernie?? 7
Ivan Ivanovich Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Seems like another general law of scale modelling... "Size and scale of a model increase inversely proportional to the (net) available work surface." P.S. I remember times when my bench looked even worse... Until disaster struck... 5

DocRob Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 There is an unspoken rule of thumb for a decent workbench. It has to hold at least the amount of tools, brushes, tapes, jars, …, than the actual kit has parts Cheers Rob 8

Bomber_County Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Ok here goes, here’s my mess...... all Ikea products, the drawer unit has paints and tools etc ......the cubbyholes hold everything else........spray booth and stash in the garage....... 7
Ivan Ivanovich Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Nice bench, Phil. Just imagine a life without Ikea and their tremendously versatile LACK series... 4

TJTX Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Here's my bench now. I always have to organize it before I leave it be for awhile. It just makes me feel better leaving it organized. 5
CrankyCrafstman Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I'm working on a 1/32 Tamiya A6M2b My work area paint booth work bench 8
Martinnfb Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Brilliant setup, I really like the idea of u-shaped workspace 2
CrankyCrafstman Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Hey Martin Yeah it's not a bad setup, but I need to make some improvements. The table to the right is to deep and makes it difficult to get to my paint rack, plus I now need to add another rack because of all tbe extra paint I have acquired since I got the first rack. I also have to take things apart so I can attach the duct work for paint booth to the pink piece of foam that will go in the window and allow it to vent to the outside. Also I need to get a stand for my Foredom tool so I can hang it in its proper place. Work, work, work its never done 3

HubertB Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I was about to write "dust" to literally answer the question in the thread's title, but then I thought better and decided I would have my friend Ernie cringe a bit ... . So I took the portable vacuum-cleaner and did a bit of dusting ... It does mean though that there is not much going on on my bench right now . Here is to instant karma retribution for those who laugh at their less-orderly siblings ... Hubert 8
Jeff Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Hubert....................................................... W O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd die to have spot like that................ rock on buddy !! 4
