Developing a new modelling room

[minitnkr]

Much window envy.

I now have a nice new comfy chair…

Left to do:
1/ Blinds, these are on order and hopefully will be fitted within a couple of weeks .
2/ New Hobbyzone units. I am changing the lay-out and these should arrive this week.
3/ Shelves. I am chasing someone to give me a quote.

I expect to start my next build once the Hobbyzone units are in place. Obviously I don’t need to wait for the blinds and shelves to start. My time currently is spent with flat packs and trips to the dump but hopefully by next week the worse of that will be over and the Hobbyzone units will be in place.

Hi Barry
Really looking good. A wonderful place for you to pursue your hobby. Mind you waiting for the kitchen and bathroom could mean that you'll be one very skinny and rather smelly modeller :smiling: :rolling::smiling:

Well, perhaps I should not bother to turn on the spray booth and rely on MRP fumes to cover the smell. ……..

Looking very sharp Barry.
You might want to re-home the AB holder. It's set up for a dive if you roll your chair back and knock it one. (ask me how I know )

A good point Ian, thanks. I have angled it away from the chair and there is more room than it looks in the photo. I have sat and moved around in the chair and it seems as if it might be OK

The photo is with the chair right back and it is more likely to catch on the corner of the spray bench than the airbrush. We will see!!!

One possible change. When I get my 18’’ shelf at desk height I may reposition the printer into the shelf and off the desk. That means my modelling books will go on the desk between the printer and spray booth. This will give me a little more desk room when I spray to place sprayed parts, though there will be a Perspex divider in the way.

I also have a small Bluetooth speaker to go in front of the books.

Inter sting goes the photo gives the impression of much less space than there is. That gap between spray bench and wall is about 19’’.

My Hobbyzone modules have arrived and I put them together. I now have room for some Italian and Japanese MRP colours that will be needed soon.

All that are missing are the blinds, another week or so and the shelving.

Back to the bench next week!

My perspex screen has arrived. I cannot put it in exactly the right position until my shelves are fitted but it will do like this, in the photo, for now. The bench itself is being protected from overspray by a couple of sheets of A4 paper under the screen.

Another step forward. I still cannot confirm when the shelves will be fitted.

Barry have you enough spare time to refit my works space ?

LOL Laurie, sadly not. Mind you, pay my expenses, travel and a five star hotel, I would be only too pleased to visit Jersey for a week and help out! OK, a 4 star would do! Tough negotiator….

I have made an adjustment so the screen is nearer where it will be in the long term.

Perhaps we will wait until next summer when the weather is perfect.

Mean while I will slum it.
