haha that's half my problem now, I was talking about this on another topic started by Saltydog... my pc is a scant 4 feet from my workbench.... sometimes I find myself spending too much time here not at the bench... or on ebay shopping for OOP kits when I have 3 in various stages of build on the bench already...

Seriously it is nice tho... if I run into a problem I can run over here and post it and have an answer on the way... plus it helps the patience factor, when you have to wait for something to dry it helps to have a distraction...

Congrats! you're gonna love it!

Thats a good one Rick!!

Looks like you got the place all nice an cozy and ready to wreak of paint and glue fumes!! Looks great,nothing like being able to leave something on the bench and then come back the next day and pick up where you left off. Enjoy!

Hey Joe At least you finish your room. I could not stand it, I set up my space before I even finished putting up insulation and wall board. This winter I am going to freeze my plastic off if I dont do somthing about it.

Sounds good Joe!
I went to 2 festivals and a car show plus hung a border in the kitchen.
Snapped a bunch of pics at the car show, thought I was getting a great deal when the 24 exposure roll hit 30 and then found out the film didn't load right! I can tell you there were some great cars though!

Well good for you, joe.

Had a very good weekend myself. No..didn't do any modelling but spent time doing some maintennance works in and around the house, playing with the kids and helping my 6 year old with her homeworks, went window-shopping with the family and watched some TV...and oh...a nice Sunday afternoon nap, too. Lol.
