chris watton Posted January 25 Author #1052 Posted January 25 All but two of the plans on the walls are 64th, with Dreadnaught and Warrior being 48th. I have a lot more I have printed off in 64th, but didn't want to over do it... hollowneck, AJohnson, Kevin and 6 others 9 Vanguard Models on Facebook

Taken Aback Posted January 27 #1061 Posted January 27 I love seeing the dog bed under the table; that's a proper shop. My little Pom, Nellie, likes to wander in and check on me as I noodle away at a model. But, she still prefers her Great Dane sized bed under our bed for her naps, though.

chris watton Posted 9 hours ago Author #1062 Posted 9 hours ago I have just taken some more pics of the unit, as it is starting to look a little better with most of the rubbish from packaging removed. All I am really waiting for now is a sh*t load of more materials (MDF, pear etc.) and a large new 3-d printer. Laser machines are up and running though, which is the main thing... Both machines currenlty working on Surprise production. Beckmann, cotrecerf, DB789 and 21 others 22 2 Vanguard Models on Facebook
Nipper Posted 7 hours ago #1063 Posted 7 hours ago Chris Thank you for showing us these pictures. It's intriguing to see what your workshop looks like - from kitchen table to all this in just a few years! Well done to you for making our hobby so personal and so enriched.

But I think the main aim is to get something larger again and have everything in one place. But for now, we have a little breathing room, and I can run both lasers in concert. That isn't a kitchen table, it will eventually house 3-d printer stuff, with the larger table for the Formlabs 4L, which will be quite an investment, second only to the lasers, so may wait until Surprise is released before getting that.

Amazingly, only 2 items are from Ikea, the book shelf (which is great, holds so many books)!, and the smaller white slim locker. The cupboard unit is from Amazon: HOCSOK Kitchen Pantry Cupboard, 180 cm Tall Storage Cabinet with Countertop, 4-door Larder Cupboard with 2 Drawers, Kitchen Storage Units, White : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen And the rest was a huge order from BugDug, spent a few weeks putting it all together - I have many cuts and bruises.....
