                        Very good tutorial on workbenches!Thumbs Up [tup] I would emphasize plenty of storage space, too. You can't have too much of that!

                        I don't think there's ever a time when a workbench is "finished." As you pointed out, it evolves over time; I know I'm forever tweaking mine as the need arises.

                        I would like to see coverage on the differences and similarities on using putty, such as Squadron Green or White vs. Mr Surfacer Brands vs. using Zap-A-Gap or other fillers.  If that is possible? Angel [angel]

                        I'm not great with an airbrush, so anything dealing with proper usage and setup would be great.

                        For me, I would like to see the procedure for a proper setup of an air compressor with the regulator and moisture trap installed for airbrushing.

                        Yes, I have little skills.

                        Started a Scale Modeling 101 series on my blog. I began with an overview and will start going into greater depth as the series progresses.

                        Once I work through the "equipment" I'll start into the fundamentals (very basics) of building. 

                        If there are topics you'd like covered, let me know. If there things you want to see, let me know too. If you have something to share, let me know.

                        Happy Modeling!
