TK1 Posted May 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi, I'm getting back into ship modelling after an enforced break. One of my first projects before I get too serious is to build a workshop. Just waiting for a renovation to finish, then will show off the new shed. Until then I'm confined to the dining table, and whilst I'm just starting a 1/350 Titanic, a wooden ship won't be far behind. Anyway, I did manage to fit my main hand tools into a box that was used for 2 bottles of wine (one of those presentation boxes they sometimes come in). So, a few small 'drawers' later, here's what I ended up with. Add a cutting mat and I'm set to build...(see attached pics). Whilst it proves you don't need a full workshop to do this, I certainly won't complain when I have one again Regards,Darren mtaylor, sonicmcdude, Kevin and 2 others 5 Quote Current Projects: 1/48 HMS Sirius cross-section by Modeler's Shipyard 1/72 HMS Vanguard cross section based on Victory Models full kit (researching) Projects Awaiting Start: 1/48 HMS Endeavour cross-section (DeAgnosti) 1/72 HMS Victory cross-section (DeAgnosti) 1/24 Armed Longboat & English Pinnace (Model Shipways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted May 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 26, 2013 Excellent 'workshop', Darren. Did you show us this on the old forum? I seem to remember something like this then and thinking it was a good idea. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK1 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi, Thanks Jim. Good to be back. I may have posted this on the old forum as I put it together when the workshop was supposed to be pulled down so I could keep building. But I stopped anyway. So now this will let me start building again until I get properly set up.

RiverRat Posted May 26, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 26, 2013 I LIKE it! We have a cat that has a compulsion to grab anything off of shelves and bench tops that it can reach, and I've had to go through a number of protective measures to keep tools and parts from its prying paws and teeth. A kit like yours would be handy. Brian Quote "Give you joy!" Current Build: RATTLESNAKE 1:64 POB (Mamoli) Kits on hand: "Lexington", Mamoli: "Robert E.

sonicmcdude Posted May 26, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2013 The ultimate work shop for people like us without a special room for modeling. Nice idea Quote Greetings, Sinan Build log:TRITON POB 1:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
