DarkJester Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Interesting... I noticed that some of you have Found a way to spend time with SO's and still model, where I am banished to my "Modeling Vault". Sometimes I have a little guilt going to "The Vault" and abandoning my wife, even if we are just watching TV. In all Fairness my "Modeling Vault" is in the Study, where she also has a desk and a computer, and I work at my desk, which also has a computer on it. I have to airbrush in the garage of course. Tried it in the study, it was an unhappy time. I do brush paint in the study/ Vault though. But not while anybody is in there. Eventually I am going to build a room in my garage for my hobby addictions. Then I really will be very separated from my wife. She may enjoy that though. She writes, and I talk. Not a spanking good combo. Oh, and when my desk gets too cluttered I am reminded of what Ripley Said: "Nuke the site from Orbit. It's the only way to be sure". And I start cleaning. Warmest Regards, Jester Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duck Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Invest in some plastic various size storage boxes. The lids help keep dust, dirt, cats and other stuff off the builds, helps prevent loss and makes clean up a breeze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Outstanding job of cleaning and organizing. Now you need to keep it that way. This is how the modeling section of my man cave looks before and after every work session: It's also my computer and tv room for sports. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G_Marcat_Italy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Usually the my workbench look this way: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 great googly moogly...............if I get to many tools out of place I stop what I'm doing, put things away until all is right with world, then continue my work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) And it's done. I'll need to replace that cutting mat eventually, it's got some glue spots and part of the laminate of my old modeling bench stuck underneath. Hard to make decent cuts with it. The three boxes across are the ones I really want to get done, so those are my focus. Thanks for your encouragement guys! That's basically mine on a really good day, lol. But my pretty little wife and her ma got me a new workbench for the garage.... Edited January 13, 2015 by Exhausted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Great job on the bench, now get building! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Not quite the same scale, but this is what mine looks like right now. Already been planning on trying to do something about it. Want to add some cabinets under the desk to increase storage space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Very funny title :) I'm a slob so I'm really ashamed to post mine. A well-lit, self-cleaning, self-organizing workbench with the necessary tools in their own spots within easy reach --- is what I desire. Hi Joel, not magnifying glass anywhere -- I'm amazed how you manage without it. I've been saving up for an upgrade for the longest time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supertom Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Great job on the bench, now get building! I'm working on it, I'm working on it!!! Something simple to get me back in the groove: Though not as simple as I thought. The wing fit is a bit fiddly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Joel, not magnifying glass anywhere -- I'm amazed how you manage without it. I've been saving up for an upgrade for the longest time. Crackerjazz, Well, not exactly. If you look closely at the lower right hand corner, you'll see my #5 Optivisor hanging on it's assigned bracket. Yep, even it has a place and a home. Although I wear it for just about every modeling task. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've used a magnifying lamp in the past. But, I strongly recommend an OptiVISOR instead! I have #5 and #10 lens plates; I normally use the former, but every so often, need the latter.

tosouthern66 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Somebody help motivate me to clean this up! I can't work in this mess :crying2:/>/> And I know some of you guys are just as bad. How did you get into my apartment without the dog bitting your ankles off and get a picture of my workbench? lol my is just as bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just gotta ask this as it's driving me nuts. How do you manage to find anything? And where do you actually find open space to build on? Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel I used to work with somebody in Plant 35 at Grumman who's desk looked like that. He literally only had clear space on his deck for a single sheet of paper. He'd figure out who wasn't at work on any given day and squat until they came back. If you came in late some morning, you'd likely find him sitting at your desk. Fire marshals came through one day and forced a clean-up. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supertom Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Went out of the country for a few weeks. Got to put a little in here and there though. Got the silver on a day or two before my flight, and last night I did a marathon session getting the fluorescent red and black paint on: I thought I took some more in-progress shots, but I can't find them :( Future goes on tonight.
