Dann Tier Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 This is my model room. First off, I painted the walls and ceiling with gloss white. this helps your lights keep everything bright, and the gloss paint makes everything wipe clean. I use Swiffer wipes. Next I covered the floor with a professional grade painters tarp, and tack-nailed it around the whole baseboard. One of the most important things I did was to attach two heavy duty rolls of clear plastic to the closet and kit shelf areas. I roll them down, tape the edges, and paint away! the plastic is great for two reasons: 1)cuts down on cleaning, 2)most importantly, these act as HUGE static-lint catchers!! I do not exaggerate when I say that I RARELY have to polish-out anything that sticks to my paintjobs. Finally, I don't know how, but I have perfect painting conditions ALL year long!! even the humidity level stays at 45% all year round!! I hope this helps you in any way with your modeling. nobody likes humidity, lint sticking to a perfect paintjob, or having to stop due to weather or seasons change. -thanx for looking! questions welcome!
StevenGuthmiller Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Do you actually build models in that room Dann? If so, would you like to come & clean mine up for me? I won't show any photos of mine out of embarrassment! Mine has enough dust in it alone to fill a 100 pound feed sack! Steve
angelo7 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Man that looks so neat! I only use a tiny small desk. Edited November 30, 2015 by angelo7
wayne swayze Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Wow Dann! That workspace is so clean and well organized! Also nice and bright! I'm envious !
Mustang Madness Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Dann that is an awesome room man! it's like a modelling surgery! Lol
Dann Tier Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks, guys! that's funny -surgery!! that's actually how I see it
Dann Tier Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Ray, the Ollies store here had cans of Dupliclor for $1 ea!! -my wife bought me 40 cans!!!!!
Tom Geiger Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Okay, here's my work bench. It's simply a hollow core door, wrapped in brown craft paper. It's sitting on two old night stands. I work on the board in the center of the bench, and do fine work on the glass piece. My spray booth is behind me, you can see the hose near the window.
Dann Tier Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Nice, Angel! Is that the Forum I see on your screen?!! LOL
Mustang Madness Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Nice, Angel! Is that the Forum I see on your screen?!! LOLHa! ya beat me to it!
Harry P. Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Did you pose that photo? I mean really... all the spray can labels facing the exact same way? Seriously... I've seen messier operating rooms! Like Steve, I won't show mine, because, well... it actually looks like I build models there!
Dann Tier Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 You can take the man out of the military, guys, but you cant take the military out of the man.
angelo7 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Nice, Angel! Is that the Forum I see on your screen?!! LOL Yes. That's where it is most of the time. Love this Forum!!
oldcarfan Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I don't have a picture of my work area, but here is an approximation:
mademan Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Mine is a HECK OF A MESS right now, Ive only moved into my house a couple of months ago and with a busy work schedual and trying to build at the same time im setting up makes it hard. I hope that it is as organized as yours when done! I built the benches myself and still have a few more shelves to put up. Edited November 30, 2015 by mademan
StevenGuthmiller Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I don't have a picture of my work area, but here is an approximation: That would be pretty close to mine if you scattered about 150 kit boxes around it! Steve
Dann Tier Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Sweet guys!!!! Your work areas are starting to look like hobby shops...lol Really like the pegboard Mike, and the paint rack 935k3 ! Edited November 30, 2015 by Dann Tier
lysleder Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 A wise man once said : If a disorganized desk indicates an disorganized mind, what would an empty desk indicate? - I will post a picture of mine tomorrow. It is not a pretty sight..
The70judgeman Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I'd show mine, but it doesn't exist yet except for tape on the floor to outline it in the basement. It's my winter project this year. I need to get back to building!
Greg Pugh Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Here's mine. I still need to put up some shelves for my not-yet-started kits as I don't like having them stored in about four different locations throughout the house. I have a hutch-like thingey with shelves that I keep my finished models on that's to the right of me (and out of camera's view) in this picture. It's still a work in progress but it's the best set-up I've had yet.
