The Mosquito build quickly took over my model room. I was working off of two work benches (I have one for building and one for painting), five TV trays and boxes strewn across the floor. I decided it was time to rethink how I was organizing things.
I couldn't justify more workspace, I don't have any more space to put a work surface that wouldn't remove display area - except this dark alcove under the stairs.
So I built a cabinet to organize everything as best I can!
One drawer in place - checking the structure to make sure it's square.
I built two styles of drawers - a slotted one because I tend to group parts by colour in various sized boxes, trays and jars. As well as one with 1/8" hard board for storing sprues - this way if parts fall off I'm not going to lose them. I'm also using these for loose parts.
The finished product. The drawers with only three 1x3s are the ones with hardboard - the plans for this cabinet were 2' by 17 pieces of 1x3 short, or they'd all have the slotted bottoms and some would have a hardboard base on top of those.
I can invert the top drawer to more the top surface up, or I might put an actual top on the cabinet. I can't decide!
Now to incorporate this into my routines so I don't expand again and risk annoying Vicky (my wife, who does an incredible job of putting up with me and my hobbies)
