Work area pictures only

I have two areas in the same room, one for wood kits, and one for plastic kits. I collect the old aircraft kits from the 60’s, the ones I built as a kid. The wood model area has two drawing tables, my small tools, small Wen bandsaw, a proxon sander, dremels ect and Bluejackets Smuggler in works… No carpet or rug for the wood area, easier to vacuum up the dust and shavings.

Hi Tim - nice looking space - I'm guessing you use that two-hander saw on the wall for particularly large modelling projects.

 

Here's my little corner of the world - though honestly it has not seen much use lately, sad to say - been too busy with work and home projects and other things for the last few months.....a couple of before shots of the dilapidated garage it used to be for comparison....the "after" photos were taken when it was more or less brand new (2021) - it is a bit messier now with more tools and more storage space....but it's a nice spot to be in on a sunny Saturday morning with a hot cup of coffee.

Hamilton, that is a great workshop - music area - man cave!
A little clean in my opinion ..... lol

Looks like there is a Bluenose on the table but I might be wrong.

Beautiful transformation of your garage Hamilton! Nice work area. The big saw in the plastic modeling area is a 10 inch skill saw, no where else to put it. I like your tabletop, something I’m looking into as my wood work bench is a piece of &*#@. I went to move it slightly last week and it collapsed send my tools everywhere. I have clamps hold it together at the moment. One clamp visible under chair. Luckily Smuggler was not on it. Again nice job on your shop!!

Tim - Nice Tomcat photo. I was a tomcat maintainer back in the late 70s. Nice shop! 😀👍

Dave, E,  I was an F-14 Plane Captain, Grumman Aerospace 1973-1993, Calverton,NY,  Flight Test, Flight Development. Were you at Oceana? I see you collect the old model kits as I do. Aurora, Revell ,Monogram ,Hawk. Must have 300 or so. Your shop is similar to mine! Plastic vs Wood.

@Nirvana - Yes that's my scratch Bluenose (the last model I completed) in an early stage of development - you'll also recognise Syren perched between the frames of another project I've been slowly working up in secret - a 1:48 scratch of HMS Scarborough based on the Anatomy of the Ship Blandford -  which I'm building using a hybrid P.o.B. (from the gun deck downwards) P.o.F. (gundeck and above) approach - it's another version of the 1:100 scale Corel Greyhound I built as Blandford over a decade ago.....work at the bench is slow, but time still flies!!! Aspects of Einstein's relativity theory can be experienced in this way!
