Time to show us your workbench

Calvin and Hobbes had some great model-related strips!

Gotta love cats.  Does he/she bother the models?

He doesn't, but Sasha just managed to make some landing gear mods on another work in progress!!

Zac... I used to think I had the most crowded model desk in the southern hemisphere but you just won the trophy!

All this, plus a cat!

This image has really made my day!

You think that's busy...yesterday I took a photo of my assembly line of 1/72 Fletcher FU-24 and PAC Cresco topdressing aircraft being built for myself (the middle, unpainted two with wings are for a friend):

..... but you've turfed Kylo off his perch!

Priorities, Man, priorities!

He left of his own accord, thank you very much!

Probably overwhelmed by what was coming his way.

Not much of a work bench for me at the moment - being in the military means constant moves and changes of address. Third move in 18 months means that again I curse myself for having purchased so many kits over the years...!



And these are just the kits... that doesn't include a similar number of boxes of tools, gear, after market parts, decals, etch, resin, etc, etc, etc.... 

Bless this hobby 

Cheers,

Oh Brad, I feel for you! Third move in 18 months?!

Brad, you need an old fashioned steamer trunk - the sort that opens like a wardrobe, so that one side would hold a fold-down workbench, the work-in-progress and a clipboard for all your tools etc. The other side would consist of drawers full of paints, decals, glues, brushes, files etc.
Thus on entering new home you just swing open the trunk, plug in the compressor and off you go.
(Obviously you'd still need the 120 storage boxes for the stash.....)

Sandy,
         I've seen some folks build some pretty ingenious "build boxes" along the lines of your suggestion. Brad, it might work well for you sir.

Thanks for the great suggestions gents! I've just done the math; 13 moves in 23 years of service (albeit some due to my own home purchases, etc). It's no wonder I have this moving thing down pat That's probably why my workbench has never been anything more complicated than a desk and a couple of lamps!

Cheers,

BC

Brad,
I fully understand you after 15 moves in 32 years of service (36 in total)
