Getting the Workbench(es) together

Ok, I admit it, I'm a messy person, you'll see in the photos.

Apologies for the poor photos at this stage, they were taken on an old iphone just for my use.

I promise when we get to modelling and layout progression they will be better (If SWMBO will let me buy a camera)

To do this ongoing project I need some workspace,

I'm in a small house now (compared to where I was) so space is an issue.

I have an office/computer room/computer workshop:

Here's the way I've been using it:

Yep it's messy, I like to work that way, we who do have a saying, an empty desk means an empty mind.

The outside (garage) area will be used mainly for painting. The whole garage will of course be used for track construction.

Here's the future paint bench.

Don't worry the fish tanks will be moved to another area.

So let's clear up the inside area first:

Here we go.

I know it takes up space, but the 5.1 sound system is NOT optional! (neither is the beer)

So inside space is ready to go, as most of my gear is still in storage I decided to buy some basics.

Modelling knife - bad choice, used it once and the plastic bit broke.

Absolute basic knives, cheap caliper and adhesives.

Here I've added my dirt cheap scalpel and airbrush (which seems to work quite well)

My compressor setup I'll show you later. I'm pretty sure it's unique

Last entry for today, the first model build for ... a long time.

Damn that's a bad photo. so a Dapol Brake van.

Why? I have the kit and I really don't need another brake van - so if I destroy it - no problem.

Tomorrow's post will show the outside bench cleanup and my amazing compressor setup

Cheers
