Elsewhere Andrew.
Here is a pic from the opposite corner. Once the two benches are up I will be able to decide on how I will do the display shelves. My current thought is to have one high level shelf level with the top of the door and cupboard all around the room except for the window of course. That will be more for storage of complete models than display of course. I will then decide on where I want lower display shelves so I can rotate models between the display shelves and storage shelves. All my stash and various spare materials will fit inside the cupboard meaning nothing will need to be on the floor to hide the carpet monster. Already I can see how easy it will be to spot dropped parts on the carpet as it really shows up bits.

Putting the workbenches together is a two man jobby fortunately I will have some help for a bit today and over the weekend.Comment

Hi Barry
Ah the joys of flat pack furniture. Many a man has lost his sanity to the task. I usual measure success by how many bits I have left over at the end :rolling:
Soon you'll have the perfect space for that new tooled Spitfire.

Here is the spray and computer bench all set-up. I will have a screen to protect the computer, though only the printer will be permanently positioned on this, to the left.

The workbench is still in pieces though I have attached all the dowels and other fitments. I have help arranged for tomorrow afternoon to help with this as it will take two to hold and position the parts.

Over the weekend I will decide on shelving.Comment

I have ordered a partition but I found it is being sent from China and will arrive in the first two weeks of October. Not what I thought would happen but I looked at a lot of these and none were quite right.
Consequently I will have to organise something temporary when I start spraying.
Here is how it looks now. I have not got everything out yet and everything is not in itโs final position but not far off.

I have made good progress today but still have a fair way to go.
Here is how it looks now:

As you can see I have moved the spray area to the right to butt against the build area.
This gives me room to put a desk height shelf in to the left the the spray bench extending from wall to cupboard, nearly 6 feet. The shelves will be 18โโ deep for large scale aircraft. This desk level one will be for modelling books at the bench end and completed models on the rest. A high shelf will go around three sides of the room level with the the top of the door for storing, not displaying, complete models, while I will have another display shelf half way between the desk and top storage shelf. Even allowing for some space for my books I will end up with 10 feet of display shelves and about 32 feet of storage shelves. In my garage I managed with about 20 feet total display and storage space combined, so this is a big improvement. If I pushed it I could probably squeeze about double that but thatโs maybe for the future.

I still have some sorting to do and I might make some changes. For instance I want to add some ModelZone modules to increase my paint capacity. I may want to attach a unit to the wall for more paint/wash bottles as well. I also need to order a nice comfy chair and, of course, I need the screen to protect the printer from overspray, which is on order from China! Blinds are also awaited!Comment

That's looking great Barry. It all seems to have come together pretty quickly.....Comment

Looks all very nice Barry, very comfy setup! :thumb2:Comment

Really coming together now. You must be itching to get to the stage where you can sit down, put on some music, open a box and cut some plastic :thumb2:

I have, on order, a nice comfy chair, some Hobbyzone modules and I have asked a carpenter for a quote to do the shelves. The blinds are on order and should be a couple of weeks.
As far as the rest of the flat is concerned I am still awaiting my nice comfy recliner and cannot do a great deal in the lounge until that arrives. This week I will take delivery of bedside tables, lights and a chest of drawers so, apart from the blinds and some pictures that room will be done this week. My bathroom wonโt get done until October and they cannot install my new kitchen until January!Comment

This morning, while waiting for bedroom furniture to be delivered I have sorted out the cupboard with my spares supplies and stash.
I managed to fit 18 kits in my stash right in the top. Now these are not small boxes and the cupboard goes up high inside so you cannot see them all.

Everything else has been arranged on shelves and on the floor of the cupboard.

Of course everything I use regularly are on the bench on the Hobbyzone modules.
I have my next build on the desk though I am days away from making a start. The whole room looks a lot tidier. Have four large plastic boxes going spare!
