Where do YOU do it?!

[Stuart Badger]

I thought it might be good fun and interesting to start a 'where do you do YOUR modelling' thread.

A brief description - maybe with photos of your modelling area, be it a bedroom, front room, shed, cellar, attic or pantry or workshop. I am always amazed by the beautiful creations that are born in unlikely places!

Go ahead!

 Stuart, I am very lucky to have a cellar comprising of two rooms. One 14 ft square woodworking and assembly. The other 10 by 9ft metalwork machine shop. I also 12ft square store under the box floor this is full of RUBISH (the wife's description) which I use to build my models. My paint shop is under the conservatory 8 by10ft. the central heating boiler is also in the machine shop, no rust. Geoff yarham.

Coo Geoff!!  You lucky man. I've just finished my workshop but I'm fortunate that I don't have many commitments now so I can indulge myself.

What about the rest of you PDs?

I'll show you mine after you've shown me yours. How about a photo of your spaces Geoff?

Not much to show for me, so I don't see any point in posting photos..... The lounge floor, and one kitchen worktop which is covered in glue, paint, knife marks, burns etc etc.

So all you'd see is a grotty kitchen worktop and a carpet.....

I suppose I could post a picture of a very understanding wife!!

I used to be self employed and had a workshop devoted to the repair of Electronic keyboards. 

I cleaned most of the gear out and now have a 10ft by 30 space which I call my own. I have two benches for boat construction and a rear of the workshop for my 'power tools' and stores of plastic and wood and things I pick up from the road on my daily outing with the dog etc.

[Stuart Badger]

Very nice Ken!

I am ashamed to say that unlike the last picture where there is a rank of beautifully labelled storage draws in the background. I tend to make small hills of the pieces I use!

I am glad to have a workshop of 20 square metres.

Hello all, when we moved out of our last house it had just got to the stage of where I was happy with the layout. A single garage within the house with a decent sized bench 3.6 x1M (12'0"x3'3"  for the oldies , me included) to do the build on. outside there was the ubiquitous 8'x4' garden shed with a bench on either side of the central floor standing area. That was where all the dirty work in wood or metal was done. Before we left I had the biggest feeling of remorse at having to dismantle it all.
Now almost two and a half years later there has been NO progress on the workshop facility. I thought that having a 17'0" x 20'0" garage with a South facing view for decent light would be the best! Sadly I'll have to rewire it and fit better lighting as the wind howls around if you open either of the up and over canopy garage doors. You always get a wind at the top of our hill. One major benefit though, while refurbishing the bathroom a perfectly usable domestic test tank was salvaged and plumbed in with both cold and hot water  much to the annoyance of my good lady  Now to get themotivation going to tackle that before getting back to model building.

cheers

p.s. I may yet have to build a very robust garden shed to keep the bikes and garden equipment in to reclaim the garage /workshop

Hi,

I am working in a cellar room in the house, including a little lathe and about 4m of table length for modelling. Bigger works I do in my garage, which has a big lathe and a compressor, a mill machine and a lot of special toolings and materials for my oldie cars. So sometimes I have to cange between the 2 workshops, but both are on my ground.

Workshop/shed in the garden, or in the living room when it's cold... .

[Tug--Kenny]

I'm not allowed in the lounge any more. I spent one evening, fettling the rough edges off the White metal parts and 'She' was finding bits in the carpet for weeks.

Well PDs - here's where I do it!

The workshop is 4 X 3 metres and has a small test tank in front (whoops sorry that's swimming pool, my wife is reading this).

I'm very lucky in that I have all the machinery I need due to my past work and an understanding wife. If you look carefully you can see a few bits of Connaught. It isn't usually QUITE this messy, but I tend to have a clear up between major components (at least that's my story!)

Don't forget free holidays are available on our beautiful island including use of the workshop in exchange for bringing materials.

All the best

Stuart

Wow ...jealous! some nice work areas there - at the moment I have a couple of bits of worktop screwed together, about 7 feet long and some drawers under, in a spare room.
I do messy jobs in the garage...to cold & damp out there now

Hi all. I do most of mine in a much altered 10'x8' shed at the bottom of the garden, mind you nothing takes the edge off the enthusiasm as a walk down there in the rain . As we say "a man without a shed is only half alive".
