Developing a new modelling room

[BarryW]

Here she is with the carpet tiles down. Note that I have some spares so I can easily replace some if I get a significant paint spill.

The colour is perfect as most dropped plastic parts should stand out, with a low nap that should limit any bounce as well. The carpet monster will find it difficult to hide as long as I keep things off the floor around the bench and make sure it is regularly vacuumed.

I have a workbench and spray bench being delivered over the next few days.

Once I have them sorted I will finalise planning for the display shelves. I will want the maximum amount of display space with shelves wide enough for any 1/32 scale aircraft, excluding four engines heavies of course. Provisionally I am thinking of around 18 inches width.

Coming on very nicely indeed Barry.

Out of interest how big is the room? I was trying to work it out from your initial plans on the first page....I might have missed it elsewhere .... But it looked like roughly 10' X 11or 12'.

Can only imagine what it will look like once finished.

Hi Chris

It is the LG OLED65G1, it is designed for a wall fitting and does not come with a stand. I also have a Samsung Surround Sound system, Q950T, with soundbar, rear speakers and sub-woofer plus a LG 4K Blu-Ray and a Manhattan PVR.

I am still waiting for the delivery of the unit to fit under the tv. Hence the soundbar etc sitting on boxes in the picture.

Well estimated Andrew. It’s about 10 feet by 11 or within an inch or two.

Call it more of a lucky guess!! :smiling5:

I'm very jealous though.... I'm based at the kitchen table..... But at least my wife and I have come to an understanding that as long as my work, tools and paint are stored away neatly in the corner of it when not in use, I don't have to completely pack up

PVR I think stands for personal video recorder. In case you weren't aware they're the modern equivalent of the old fashioned video recorder but record the programmes to a hard disk like in your computer and can normally record more than one programme at once... But can obviously do a lot more besides.....

It’s a 4K HDR hard drive video recorder. I tune it to FreeView and the TV to FreeSat so I get the best of both worlds.

Barry - you've always struck me as being such an intelligent, sensible kind of chap and then you go and tempt fate with a comment like that. It's like throwing out a challenge to the wee pesky creature :tongue-out3:

It all looks as if it is going to plan.
