Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Being a bit slow, it took me a while to work out how I could store my ever growing modelling tools and paints, pencils etc. Time passed and I wondered "How???" More time...... The opening credits of Days of our lives.... .... "Eureka!!!" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Perfect solution Dale, Just last two days I spent organizing my room and ended up with a whole bunch of miscellanies nick-nicks that are currently homeless laying on the ground. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 It is rough when it gets like that. Plus it is easy to mis-place things when they have no home. I should have bought 2 big boxes instead of the orange ones. I may get another anyway. It is nice to have a safe drawer for my airbrushes. I have sorted my WWII Japanese and Luftwaffe and my WWII to modern Russian colours. I need to do the US & RAF colours next. At first I wanted paint racks used to display colours in shops but they are ridiculously expensive. Now everything is portable. I am as happy as a puppy standing next to a bowl of ice cream.

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks mate. I'm gonna get another. If I have to shift house I can roll them out. I hate furniture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Wow, Dale, this is exactly what I'm looking at, I found one of those tool boxes for 200 bucks, and thought, yup that's what I need....... it's good to see it in 'action'............. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Very nice, Dale! If I may offer one suggestion - take a Sharpie marker and write the paint number ( ie "XF-64") on the bottle tops. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Cool, that is a good idea... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Years ago they were changing out the crash carts at the hospital my wife worked at. She snagged me one. It's basically a tool box, but it has 4 turning casters instead of two fixed and two turning. Also has a "bumper" around the bottom to keep it from hitting the walls. It only has three drawers and a large open space on the bottom. Drawer height on one is perfect for the standard Tamiya paint bottles. I used utensil divider boxes for individual color spectrum's. One is tools, tape, etc. One is larger Junk. I just need to reorganize my mess now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys. I plan to write on bottle tops. At the moment only Russian, German and Japanese are in sections in the orange boxes. I have more Japanese than any otheotherwiser paint. I really like Japanese aeroplanes.

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nothing to show. I am completing a Tamiya Seiran float plane. After painting it I decided to strip it due to an unsatisfactory finish. So there is a really dirty float plane. Nobody wants to see that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Here is the little spitfire. I am working on this at my drum studio. A boy, 9 years old, was given this for hos birthday. He had zero clue what to do with it. I asked if he'd like me to build it for him. He said Yes please! Hopefully he will like it enough to try with another he has. Here is another I built for my student, THE MACHINE!!! The machine has studied with me since he began, age 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 THE MACHINE!!!! Now 11 years old. Played his 1st gig last week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Awesome mate. I like both! Is the 190 air brushed or brushed painted. Either way, it looks great. Now you need to get the machine to try building himself. Thanks for the pics Dale.......harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hey Harv. Airbrushed. I built it over a couple of days as an Easter present. I gave The Machine a Tamiya Su-27 + some paints and glues. He enjoys Leggo models. We shall see if he builds the kit. The little Spitfire has it's wings on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
