Post pics of your model room.

Keavdog, do you have a window near your spray booth? I put my vent on a board cut to fit the window opening. When I'm spraying, I put the board in and close the window on it to hold it in place. When done, I open the window and remove the board. Here's some pics of the set-up. Takes about 5 seconds to set up or take down. No fuss, no mess.

Hope this helps.

Stay Safe.

The garage has two vents one close to the floor behind the booth, and one closer to the ceiling on the same side. Im renting this place so there was definitley no cutting through the stucco haha

Nice James.  Did you go throught the wall for the hood vents?  Put in dryer vent type deal?  I' considering the same but not a fan of cutting through stucco.

Pretty much all set up in the garage. Brother 3D printed some stuff for me to stay organized. Im pretty excited.

The other half is where the spray booth lives

Knox & TJ, those are some great looking work and display areas.

 

Some great looking shops here!  I guess maybe I should figure out how to posts photos so some day I can share mine...

That was Chicken, my last cat who passed away in 2020.

Well, first, condolences on your loss, but second...from that angle, he looks just like my "coworker," Xander (the tripod tuxedo cat that sleeps on my desk all day)!

Gotta love hobby shop kitties, they're good for finding those little pieces that fall.  Except mine likes to occasionally get up on the workbench and push those little pieces off.  At least he's the only one who does that, the other two usually just come down to look out the windows at squirrels and then run away...

WOW!  Tempestjohnny, what a great place to both build your models and then display them!

The display cabinet

The bench

I built the top and attached it to drawers, and file cabinets that a friend gave me.  I don't like the stuff I built around the table, so I'm in the starting phase of redoing it.  It is where I find peace.

Ha... me too.  All the frequently used stuff never gets put back.

 

I hear you! LOL

Joe

Yes Dog,seen your set up elsewhere,coming along nicely.

Ha... me too.  All the frequently used stuff never gets put back.

Very nice, Very neat!, Now the question is: How long will you be able to keep it neat?

In my case, I may keep it need for a whole 5 minutes! LOL

Joe

Just got the bench set up in the new house last night

You guys have given me some great ideas for a shop. Thank you. I will be making a shop in a 25 foot camper. Keavdog that is a great desk. I had one years ago and loved it. Been trying to find another one but not having any luck with that.The only thing I wont be using is the cat. They dont like me.

Pretty cool!

Neat little space !I see that you are working on a smaller plank on bulkhead ship ,the Bounty perhaps?

 

The ship under construction is the HMS Beagle. I beleive is about the same size as the Bounty. I have an active build log of the Beagle on the Ships section.

Well, we do not have a cat, but do have a small dog who loves to byte the pieces that falls to the floor after I have expended 1 or 2 hours fabricating those pieces. I usually do not let her in while I am working on the models.

My workbench has gone to some revision since I posted the last photo, I purchased 2 Ikea drawers cabinets and using them as legs, these carbines has given me a lot of more storage so I can attempt to better organize the bench.

I also made a 2 part rope storage system that help in keeping the ropes organized, accessible and, at the same time, out of the way. so far it is working ok. I have a tread discussing this item.

There is one thing that I have not found a solution for, if you look at the photo there is a lot of stuff between the drawers cabinet, this are items that are too big to put in a drawer, and, since I have a limited work area, so far I have not figure where I going to put those items.

My workbench is a work in progress, since I tend to be a perfectionist, it will never be completed, because I will always be making changes in an impossible effort to make it perfect.

Until next time

Joe

I have not had problems with the cats I have had interfering with my model building.  They have all taken to snoozing on the bed until I'm done.

That was Chicken, my last cat who passed away in 2020.

Sometimes, well most of the time, I have help. This is why every single model I build includes a new round of the Find the Cat Hair game.

My Garden Cabin..

As we don't have basements in 90% of houses here in the UK, we utilise the garden.

The floorplan labeled it as a "club room" 

The full view photo was taken two years ago, so I've been filling up those shelved over the storage cabinets with builds made over the past three years since we moved here. At my build completion rate, I may have those shelves filled in another 10-15 years 

 

 

 

 

That is more horizontal space than I have in my whole house.

 

Its the most display space that I've ever had. After decades of cheap bracket shelves and secondhand furniture, this time we went with stuff built to last. I did thin the herd a little before we moved, but the floor to top shelving is holding the surviving roughly 40 years worth of builds. At least those that were not destroyed by marauding cats, earthquakes, small children, or other such events.

My man cave... for display and relaxation purposes. All building and painting is done in the garage.

 

 

  

 

 

 

Why do I feel that there should be some guy with a cat saying "Ahhh Mr Bond I have been expecting you" in this shot?

 

  LMAO!

Wow!you guys have nice display rooms and yes I agree Stick Pusher has one of the best . Very long hallway type with plenty of room for future completed models of all types.
