So today I moved myself into my new workspace and I thought i'd show you and ask to see yours.... The good news is now I have a whole room to myself to make a mess or whatever..... The bad news is..... Yes......its in the downstairs loo (wc if you don't know English slang) and is only 3.5m2!!!

Andi, it avoids the problems sometimes encountered by beer/coffee/tea drinkers like myself. Now, if you had a fridge and a kettle in there, it must be the perfect workspace.
Normally, I cannot find my workspace. now it's worse with restoring the floor and re-arranging everything. I can't even find my work now.
Peter.

Nothing much has changed since I posted this photo on slotforum. A little untidier and the addition of a better compressor are the only major changes. Peter

Today I finished cleaning up my work spaces, so this is the perfect moment to give you a little glimpse of my kingdom in the basement. I've got two work spaces, one is where I do the rough work, like soldering, lathe work and mill work. It's at the far end of the garage, where I also do my airbrushing when the car is outside. The other space is where I assemble the models, do the drawing and store my spare parts, and keep the models them self Cheers, Danny

My model-making room is my sanctuary from the real world.... My wife is always reminding me how I lose complete track of time when I'm working in it. The room faces West and overlooks the garden so it enjoys all the afternoon sunlight. This is my work table, this picture was taken about 7 years ago and it hasn't looked that tidy since. I'm pleased to say that the one lonely trophy has been joined by quite a few more on the window cill. A more recent picture of the table during my preparations for an Earlybirds race meeting at Wolverhampton and this is how untidy it usually is. This is one corner of the room with my workmate, some materials and part of the stock of kits. One of my two shelved cupboards with my motor racing research books and magazines. David

Hi Dave, Lovely workspace you got there, are those plastic kits on the shelf's all going to be build by the end of the year? ;D And I thought I got a big stock I know the feeling of trying to keep a tidy workspace, a day of work in it, and it already looks like a bomb has gone off. I always force my self to do a big tiding up after each model is finished. Thanks for showing us your workspace. Cheers, Danny

That picture is only about a quarter of my kits, I doubt I will ever build a small fraction of them.
I actually enjoy working in a mess (I don't know why) and as I always have at least a dozen cars on the go at any one time there is never a break when I can tidy up. On average I tidy up once a year.
David

You guys are all so well organised! I have no handles on my very few files, no shadow boards, except a bit of peg board where I hang my saws and airbrush, no stock of kits as I don't build kits, no finished models as I never get round to building anything because I'm always too busy making masters! Which, in these Arctic conditions, I have to do in the lounge, on one end of a small drop leaf table I share with my wife's hi-fi. My work space is actually an average table place mat. On that I have made a good few of my recent masters. The lathe lives in the spare bedroom and gets dragged into the lounge for wheel inserts and trumpets from time to time. It's amazing how small a space you can work in if necessary. In the Spring I go back over the workshop which is a 13ftx6ft caravan, full of model boats, model aircraft and Austin 7 Special parts!

Thanks for the description Martin, but the title is 'show', so we need photos of your place mat and caravan so we can really imagine you working away in there....

I found this photo while looking for something else. This is a more typical picture of my working area and the reason why my wife won't go near the room. Anyone else willing to share a picture of their work area? David

Here's the workshop end of the caravan during its winter slumber, when stuff just gets lobbed in. Although I did very recently rewire the airbrush compressor bottom right. Behind me are boats, boxes, paints and Austin 7 Special parts. Martin
