My contract work up north has come to and end and will now be working back in Auckland again so no more weekly 320km round trips with short weekends. Thios means I can hopefuilly start getting back into modelling a bit more.

Over xmas, I built a shed in the back garden (with a small add on for SWMBO's gardening stuff). Came as a kit set and pretty easy to assemble - ignore the untidy lawn as we're undergoing some landscaping changes at the moment...

Image

I then spent some time lining the inside with polystyrene insulation and GIB board. Work benches were added along with lots of lighting and a kitchen rangehood ventilator for the spray area. Used the panoramic setting on the camera so looks a bit odd, but you get the idea....

And yes, that is what you think it is on the workbench. A shelf queen I started back in the MA days. Will put some pics up of progress at some stage.

Looks like a nice space Gary, but where do you keep all your modelling supplies? I don't do anywhere near the amount of scratch building and PE, and I have so many more supplies on my bench.

My 'stash' is kept up in the attic along with other stuff. I tend to get out just what I need for the build - hence why it looks so sparce :D

If I had a larger space, I'd have a bigger mess to create :lol:

Now that I've finally cleaned up my workbench for once I feel confident to resurrect this ancient tread for a long-needed update :lol:

Image

You may recognize some familiar elements from last time. After triggering my smoke detector two times I've since added a spraying booth, I think my lungs are also happy with that :lol: The black IKEA drawer units contain various raw materials, paints, modelling supplies as well as two drawers reserved for "short term" storage of unfinished projects :oops:

Image

Since my move back in 2017 I finally have space for a permanent photo setup. Naturally it quickly got cluttered with the usual things :lol: The grey drawers mostly contain spare kit parts.....

And finally, right in the middle, the shelf of infinite shame and chaos (but mostly shame), with all the unfinished stuff I keep telling myself I really need to finish this year :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol:

Image

How about all of you? What is your current setup? ;)

What kind of light bulbs do you use on your photo bench? What covering the lights themselves, some sort of fabric or paper?
