1:1 diorama or a workbench

Latest build has been the mancave/workbench so why not document it

The old setup


Best stuff ever for packing, and works a treat on the paint racks


The new cave, dont ya love the wall colour :-/

PC is setup at least, the angled ceilings up there limit what can go where.

First attempt at unpacking the stash, took door of the wardrobe so the shelves would fit.

Benches setup, as before they are elevated to make the working height more comfortable.

New home of display cabinets. The nice on is in the living room. Plenty of work ahead to fill all 3.

Taping up the gaps in the portable spray booth, helps a little with airflow, and a lot with particle leak.

Drawers and paint racks in place, for now

And finally the stash is unboxed, looks so much bigger having it all in one place.

The big boxes go in the small wardrobe and the eggplanes etc line the door.

F1 kits etc. Did not realise I had that many as they lived under the stairs in the old place.

Sort of sorted. From the bottom - Thunderbirds and MaK, TV and movie stuff, Air etc.

A few vehicles and the big Gundams live high for now.

Diorama, accessories etc and the stash of unboxed Star Wars kits

Gunpla :-)

Tidy(ish)

Booth and airbrushes are out. 2 of the big Drawers have basing stuff etc in them.

Primers, Alclads, Cleaning and Thinning products. Drawers have AB cleaning, enamels etc. Dehydraytor (dryer), ultrasonic cleaner.

Model Air paints, Badger Minintaire paints. Drawers of weathing, styrene spares, masking, clamps, basing, foliage etc etc

Smaller regularly used tools. AK paints, AK weathering, Vallejo and Flory washes, Lifecolour flesh set. Drawers of sanding, lighting, polishing, decals etc

Now the fun part, putting it all to use.
