datahiker Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Just wondering . . . Depending on my mood either a Dr. Pepper or mixed drink like a rum and coke, although in the summer I'm more likely to grab a beer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grant in West Oz Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Most of the time, water. I did model with beer for a while, but now prefer a glass of red. With a block of ice if it's hot. So perhaps I should have voted OTHER. G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
painter Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I voted for tea/coffee and beer, I drink tea/coffee when I'm modelling, the beer is for when I've finished. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hal Marshman Sr Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Most refreshing thing I've fou nd is that pre-bottled green iced tea by Lipton. I wouldn't touch anything alcoholic when I working. Hal Sr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 If anything, water. If I'm decalling, not even that. All it took was one spilling accident to make sure never again.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Water. I drink almost a gallon a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nothing, I tend to build it short blocks, so I rarely drink anything at the bench. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 On weekdays, beer, since my time in the man-cave starts at 9pm. On weekends, coffee, since I'm most likely to be down there during the day. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dixieflyer Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm a big coffee drinker, and if I drink anything at all in my man cave while modeling, it's most likely coffee. A lesson: if you use one of your old coffee cups to clean the acryllic paint from your brushes, please be sure to double check your coffee cup before you take a sip. Now, my return to the hobby was a 1/72nd scale Fokker Dr.I, and it's small enough, but he p/e is even smaller. After having a hard time with it, I learned that having a Newcastle before applying p/e helped me tremendously. So, it's beer for me if applying p/e is in the works.

geedubelyer Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Tea, Earl Grey, hot........make it so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I guess it depends on the day, mood, weather, and what I am working on, oh yeah and finances. If I can afford to get a case of beer I would definately have a brewsky or two. Most of the time though its an ice cold Mountain Dew. Breakfast of champions!

robtmelvin Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Since I gave up booze my modeling beverage is usually coffee. I've decided that a cup warmer is going to have to be one of the next "must haves" for the work bench. I get focused on something and forget my drink, then absent mindedly reach over and grab a nice big swig of cold coffee. Nasty. Must be an acquired taste for those that like iced coffee.

terrysumner Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Arizona Ice Tea or Mountain Dew! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Blind Dog Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nothing. Already too many spilling hazards on the bench (WeldBond, Future, accelerator, paint), and the potential for absent-mindedly mistaking one thing (say some paint or solvent) for the beverage is not worth the risk. That's just me. cheers Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 No kidding on the spilling hazard! I'm to worried about knocking over a 1/4 oz. bottle of Testors - which we've all done (come on, admit it!) - so there is little chance of having any beverage on, or near the work bench.

kg4kpg Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I drink about a gallon of tea every two to three days. Used to sweet with sugar but age and family history have me using good ole Splenda. Doesn't taste half bad either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Decaf peppermint tea in the evenings or a Blue Monster during the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
