Bruce Poage Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I really appreciate the photos of projects on the workbench. There never will be too many pictures!! But I would also be interested in seeing your workbench. I am about to build a new bench in a new space in a different house in Toepka, KS. I finally get to unpack kits, tools, magazines and move in. So I'm looking for ideas for a new bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I work on a fold up card table in my room...it's not the greatest, but it's what I've got. These pictures were taken just after I set up to work again last month. It's much messier now, with parts from my Mystery Dodge Daytona and about 12 other builds on it. Mostly bodys! This is the Staging Area, AKA, my windowsill. When this shot was taken, I had some 1/64 NASCARs (my first, true love!) that needed to be repaired, and some that I made myself. I can fit about 9 models along it when it's clean, but it never is, I have space for about 3 now. Interesting enough, my fan was on high when these pictures were taken.

Wildrice Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Nice work areas. Wish mine was in a room of its own. I have to share space in my 3 yr olds room. It sucks when you rent. Here is a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Bobby, is that RMR's 50 Suburban? I have one of them too. Smoothed it out though, it's not going to be anywhere near stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrice Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yes that is an early RMR 50 Suburban. He has come a long way since I bought that. Top quality stuff that he puts out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah, I agree. I've got 5 of his items, the most I have from any resin caster. I got mine in Toledo 04... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93Z34 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Here's some pics of our hobby room. We're fortunate enough to have a room big enough for a desk and for the growing collection of kits that are piling up. Unfortunately we are running out of room and I will probably be selling quite a few of the projects I won't be building. Anyways...on with the pics...

ChevyAsylum Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Wow, Brian...that's pretty impressive! I hope ya don't do like I did: sell off the stash of kits and then regret it. But....if ya happen to find a desire to rid yerself of an 86 El Camino SS or a 79 or 83 Camaro kit....well, I'd be happy to trade ya for something. I'm gonna refrain from posting a pic of my work area, cuz it's just a little corner of a table with stuff scattered hither and yon. But it's what I got and I'm grateful for it. Maybe one day I'll re-arrange my computer room so that I can have a workbench behind me and the computers in front of me...and then with my swivel chair, I could reverse that at any time. Hmmm...something to think about. Maybe I'll see if I can pick up a long card table.... You may have started something like an avalanche. :?

Street Rod Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I finally got my desk set up and ready to start building. I’m sure It’ll evolve as I go, but I’m organized and comfortable enough now to get going. This small cabinet will be used for styrene and metal rod stock and other detailing supplies. And yes, I will get this drawer organized soon, lol. It’s for tape/masking sheets and styrene and metal sheet stock. The bottom drawer has my heat gun, a hair dryer and other misc. tools that won’t be used often, I just didn’t take a picture of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) I've finished my designated work room! For years I would build whenever time allowed, usually at the table. 3 years ago my wife and I bought a condemned house in a small town about an hour north of Austin, Texas and rebuilt it. We still find things that need to be done, but it's nice, and way cheaper than anything closer to town. Real estate there has gotten way too high. For me, the new place came with a bonus 24x24 shop next door. While most of that is used for the car, and my wife's office. I now have a 12x12 breakroom/man cave. I just got some spare time, so I built a nice little nook for my hobby stuff. I even put in a sliding door to close it off when I have visitors. The models on the shelves are the ones I plan to build before I die so I'll have to live 40 years just to get them done. This afternoon, I found all my modeling tools that went missing when we moved, so to celebrate, I pulled out a kit I've been wanting to try for a long time.
