Dewayne asked to see my reference library and I just realized I haven't taken and images of my desk for years so here is an updated version.

A four drawer file cabinet and 10 ft of reference material and another set of cubbies for my additional reference book (Osprey and etc.)

Here it was back in 1999.


So show us your corner of fun.

I don't get my own space.... I have a small toolbox full of paints and supplies and I set up where I have room. Oh the woes of being 17 and living in a small house.

No worries battlerabbit! I didn't build my desk til I was 43! Here is hoping you'll get one quicker than I did!

I just got promoted. We moved to a new house about a month ago. Instead of having to work in the basement of our apparmtent, my new work bench is now situated in the attic. The former inhabbitant was a teenage girl who liked gold colored walls with a bright red carpet ( to me it looks a bit like a Moulin Rouge setting). Ik will take some time to get this chaged, cause main focus is the rest of our new house.

I've been able to do some modelling so far, will try to show some pic's this weekend.

Cheers, Nico

I'm with Dave on this one..........how on earth do you guys keep it so neat and orderly? This is my spot in the Batcave. Not responsible for anyone disappearing and never being heard from again. I tell the wife there are man eating spiders down here so she stays out.

This first one is my actual bench or desk, a second hand relic from my college days.

This is the kit stash area. I also have an old bookcase which houses my reference collection which consists at this point of one shelf containing primarily Osprey titles and a few Windsock Datafiles.

This is my little paradise. Just giving the master of my new Gloster VI the final touches.
I am sorry that there are more ship models than from aviation, but recently I am a little more on the waterside.

Heheh wait wati, you're gonna love this one. Here is my little neat workingspace:

And the desktop:

Hehehe. Well, ok these are taken a few years back, I...well by the pressures from my girlfriend..tidied it up a little lately. Just a slightly better view now. I still couldn't find the lost Pizza boy and the postman who was unfortunate enough to bring the kits from HLJ. I found the remains of the neighbour's cat though.

Woops. Just found this thread, and have allready put pics elsewhere. I think I'll put theme here too, where they belong.

Most of you guys seem to have a workspace. I have to go with Chris the Battlerabbit and therefore show my "no workspace". I'm between appartments (since half a year) and have to run a tight ship on modelling.


On the other hand, I usually sneak a paint area at work, so I have no shortages of air. I just need to put a pair of extra filters on the hose to catch the compressor oil.


I guess I can paint for a day without the motor starting. I also have a vent system, dimensioned for welding, over my head so I can just about use any solvents I like without any health problem. It's not a win-win situation, but the pros tend to balance the cons.

Here it is:


The cabinets are "assembly required" items from Lowes/Home Depot. The backwall is pegboard. There are 4 halogen lights arrayed across the bottom of the cabinets with the wiring running up behind the pegboard. Visible in the right corner is the stack of plastic storage containers that has the mostly assembled kits in them.


This is the left side of my half of the room. The cabinet unit is another "assembly required" item from Lowes/Home Depot. Also visible is 98% of my model stash. I have about 10 or 12 other kits still boxed up.


Close up of the model stash.


This is the right half of my side of the room. The table is a small craft table from Hobby Lobby that my wife decided she wasn't going to use. This table, obviously, is used for my airbrushing. The compressor is a Campbell-Hausfeld from Walmart. It is a fantastic compressor. I only wish the compressor was a little quiter.
