A place of ones own... I feel reborn!

I got the worlds greatest fathers day present. A place to work on my models and leave it set up! I have been building next to nothing because it was such a huge pain to set up and tear down for an hours worth of building. I spent about 15 hours cleaning my side of the basement with my work bench. It was a MESS! I got it all cleared up and ready to make a new mess! I thought it might be a nice place to leave set up for MY hobby

but alas I had nowhere to sit. So my wife decided to take me out with the kids antique shopping to find some nice barstools for me to use - they are PERFECT! The height is spot on. I now have GREAT working light. I can easily get to all my tools and such. As Bart noted the are very Star Trekish too which I didnt think about but he is right! The one day I had it set up I fixed up two models (on the bench) that were sent to me and needed some repairs after the events I took them too - the op2e neptune and one of wills corsairs. I cant thank you guys enough for that kind of support in sending me models to help showcase our hobby!

I also finished up a model I was working on - Romans armored car. Will post pics after I get them taken!
Thanks
Chris

Awesome! That is nice.

Very nice! Having your own space is so important to this hobby. That Corsair looks pretty familiar. Is it the one with the nice shiny prop or the one with the exposed engine?

Dude,

You are super blessed! But, I still manage some build time, even with my 2x3 foot space. Glad your day turned out so well.

Chris that is really awsome!!
I am very happy for you My friend... to have a space of one's own is always welcome. I am still in your old boat. TV tray at the couch in the living room..takes more time to get ready than to build sometimes... Enjoy Man!!

I think that it should be made law, that a man can appoint several feet for workspace even if he never uses it in his own dwelling place

Great to see you have yours Chris.... now then, where's mine....ummm, no ! i will report it when and if i find it

Always good to have a place to do your work from....Especially the part where you can leave it up and come back to when ever your darn good and ready.

NOW, let's see something being built;-)

That's great! congratulations

I've always thought that aving a good workspace also influences the finished product. It's nice to have your own personal space.

Thanks all!

Swamp - just finished up a small one and have a couple to clear now that I can leave them set up. A stomp for my son and a tank I started about 5 years ago. After that I plan a partner build unless my brain fries when I hit the tracks

and start the partner build earlier. Depends when Wyvern is ready too
