    After many years **sorted ***

    After many years of building kits with a board on the lap and messing work space beside me I have now got some space to set aside for a proper work area

    I'm very happy for you Peter, have fun designing your new space, and then enjoy your new found freedom from your lap.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

          So you've upgraded from a laptop to a desktop. Good for you. In no time you will get used to leaving everything on the table.

          Cheers,

                Try a 15 month old, over 3 foot long and into everything Basset Hound - licking the gravy off the plates on the worktops not a problem....

                  Hi Pete, we have these things here called doors. Very good at keeping the murder machines out.

                      Listen up folks - this is important!

                      You've all seen how fast Peter builds and how many he churns out. That's with just a tray on his lap. How much is he gonna build now he's got a proper workbench?

                      Best start building your stashes now while there are still kits available!!
