Those are some great set ups guys. very organized - but CAMAAAANNNN lets see them mid project!!!!!

In my case Steve, the beauty of setting up and down everyday means that I keep everything cleaned up and organized. And before anyone asks, yeessss, I'm a rather regimented individual.  ;D

Cheers,

Chris

As requested by Steve here's mine this morning in the "mid-project" phase of a WNW Albatros DV build.
I converted a second hand roll top computer desk to a model desk for several reasons. Mostly limited space in the den, a means to shut the doors on visiting Grandkids, and as a concession to my "Good Wife" who likes the clutter to go away when there's someone visiting.

   Due to the limited work space i have to clean up and re-organise every session, like Chris that doesn't bother me as I too am a "regimented " type of Guy. 37 years in uniform does strange things to you.
Note also the big light and mini vacuum for retrieving lost parts from the dreaded floor monster.

 
    The pedestals hold all my spare paints and tools etc. and I do my airbrushing in the shop portion of the garage. With the exception of our Desktop Computer the room is mine (I built a beautiful big model "cave" downstairs which, on completion, immediately became the "Quilting Room". If you wonder about how that could happen, since I don't do Quilting, just think about it for a second or two.)
The rest of the room holds my books and models close at hand, some inspirational art versions of Bishop's "mounts" etc, and a few momentos of the good old days.

   Should we move, I'd like a set up where there's a little more horizontal area to work on and scatter some reference material about.
   There must be dozens of other approaches out there; out with them as I always get an idea or two from this sort of thread.
Cheers,
Lance

Well Steve, here's my work bench while I am in the middle of attaching the rigging to my Voisin, my fishing line is to the right, my rigging tools to the left and the CA in front of me, this is about as messy as my work bench ever gets.

Now I know how you turn out such great results, Des. My workspace wasn't as clean as this before I opened the first tin of paint!
Nice set up, and a great layout profile for my next setup if I get there.
Cheers,
Lance

Hi, All,

I'm in the basement as well, but I'm comfortable. An old office desk provides lots of work space and loads of storage for extra paints, tools, turntables and such. The stacking unit on the desk is older than I care to recall, but it keeps all of the usual tools, glues and parts collection close to hand. I built the paint booth on the left, which vents outside using a dryer hose and plywood mounting panel. Off-camera right is an old cabinet that houses all of my reference material, magazines, and decal binders (three of them: anyone need a replacement sheet??  :D). All in all, a neat place to bash the plastic!



Cheers!
Gary

Now what I notice about most of you guys is that you all have a nice comfy chair at your workstations, myself, I prefer to stand when I'm modelling.

Cheers

My workspace is a permanent nightmare, I work off the rule that the time spent cleaning up is time not spent building models. (which is certainly faulty.)

Here’s my workstation located in a corner of the workshop in mid project. The project must be picked up at the end of my work time as my squadron mates, cats, would think its all something I left for their play time.   ::)



To the right end of the work bench, out of the picture, is my paint booth that exhausts to the outside. A must have in the not to gentle winters we have here.  ;)

It serves me well.  :)
