Model Work Areas


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

I have finished room in the basement that I recently aquired, complete with a toliet and shower.

I will post some pix soon.

I am in the process of finishing it up, have the paint booth installed, a plastic modeling bench, a glass top desk for RC helis, lots of storage and building a 3X6 bench/Jig for large scale flying models.

I have future plans for a small machine shop area.

Hello all, I used to own a espresso stand, but that is another story. It’s 8’x12’ and took everything out but the walls and outlets. Put in a new floor, painted, added a bunch more outlets, benches on three sides and shelves everywhere.

I have most of the stuff in like a small refrigerator, microwave, wall heater, TV w/5.1 stereo. You know just the basic things. I told myself I won’t start another project until this is done, is that incentive or what.

Any comments or ideas are welcome. Looking forward to seeing what others look like.

here is a pic of walking into the space i have now. honestly i have massively too many kits! this is also an old picture and i've collected quite a bit more since. the space in my previous house was a small 10x13 room and i sometimes miss that smaller area :D that house i had model kits EVERYWHERE though, in the rafters, in every closet and under beds, just everywhere they could fit.

First off let me say there are some real nice work spaces here. My work area is a make shift area until my renos are done and we move.

Since I'm pretty new here and have spent more time posting words then work I thought I should post up my work area. Plus I just figured out how to use Photobucket.

My work area was a sauna up until a couple months ago. I don't work out side in the winter any more so I don't use it and it was just to ###### expensive to heat.

I decided to convert it into my work room. It's only 7'x7' but being that small is surprisingly spacious. It was originally done in pine (why I don't know) by the original owner. I slapped on a coat of white primer installed electrical, a new spray/photo booth (an old cupboard) and my little heater/dryer, carpet and shelving. Just before I started the new room my compressor gave up the ghost, the reed valve went. So I had to fine something else, I found a used Delta 2 gallon compressor, super quite

Anyway here's some pic of the new mess.

Here's where my madness develops. Just a plain plastic table in a corner of the garage. Compressor is underneath. Everything else is kept close by in containers, boxes, drawers. A SW radio for aural entertainment, and yes, I usually just turn on the lamps when working...Turning on the garage light bothers me.
