Show Your Workbench

[hawkeye2an]

Here's mine. I am very lucky to have half a basement to work in. The room makes a GREAT workshop, and as you can see, my mess has expanded to take over the entire area.

Pic 1 - workbench. I'm not much for neatness.

Pic 2 - reference area

Pic 3 - 'machine' area. Paint booth and vacuform

Pic 4 - stash

Pic 5 - paint booth

Pic 6 - vac machine

Pic 7 - plans and parts

Nice !!

Got room for two?

YES !! actually room for several. Don't know why you'd want to leave sunny Florida for Iowa though.

I have just started hosting our local model club the second Saturday of the month for seminars. We meet for our contests the last Saturday of the month at a Hobby Shop.

Not sure if i'd leave but.. we don't do basements down here the only similar thing our work spaces share is the modeling table. Awesome setup, wonder what the wife thinks of it!

My area doesnt have modeling clubs (I don't think)..

wonder what the wife thinks of it!

My area doesnt have modeling clubs (I don't think)..

I'm sad to say, my wife is disabled with M.S. and has never seen the downstairs. The reason i got back into modeling after 20+ years away is to give me a release, I'm her full-time care giver now.

If your area doesn't have a club, why not start one? Do you have a local hobby shop? That would be a great place to start.

Great set up Hawk ! Mags, check out the IPMS (USA) for the nearest branch, or Chapter I think they're called in the 'States. Pretty sure there's a Florida branch, but don't know where. Good idea to set uip your own - just put a notice in the LHS and see what response you get.

Ok guys, I got my table built and I did purchase some paint today (gulp!!!!), nine bottles of paint and a cutting board, $54.00, (DAMN!!!!!) I can get started on the interiors and the landing gear wells.

Looking like a nice set-up Aaron.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, nice setup!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks guys. You know I'm going to have a harder time getting out to take photos with this new hobby.

 

[Lucky13]

I could have an office like that...!

We need our fix of your pics Aaron, don't you bl**dy dare!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice setup Aaron, like it very much but it's no excuse to slacken on the pictures, we want more of them, plenty more.
