Good luck on the move and sale.
Will be doing the same in the next 2-3 months.
Yep, me too. Twice in the last three years.
I've gone from half of a two-car garage, to a spare bedroom, to half of a spare bedroom, to a desk.
One thing, I now have a bunch of land so I have a shed out back for the stash. I live in a place thats about 60-65 degrees year-round, so no worries about warped plastic.
Good luck Tojo. I'd suggest you make a ready bag of the essentials. It takes quite a while to unpack and reorganize, but it's nice to have a simple set up running quickly.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Hey ;
Good luck on the move .You need to keep a folding card table close by .Anything 's better than nothing !
Good luck with your move Tojo, don't rush it but HURRY BACK MAN. After moving the company I work for in January/ early Feburary I refuse to move again. Hope it goes smooth and easy good sir.
we're modelers it's what we do
Yup, as an upstate New Yorker, I can relate on the taxes. My sister moved from Buffalo to North Carolina, and has never looked back. She loves it there.
Good luck on the move, and hope you can get a bench sorted out soon.
Dwayne or Dman or just D. All comments are welcome on my builds.
Life is frought with silly delays. We'll wait for your return!
Good luck on the trip and the move Tojo. We just moved in November. We're about 3 miles from the turnpike entrance at Morgantown. That makes us about 1/2 hour closer to the contests that we usually enter. Was hoping to see you at Mosquitocon. If not, Maraudercon in Virginia will be pretty close to you. Maybe we'll see you there.
Enjoy your retirement.

Hi, I sure can relate to the moves.
I created a small emergency kit. Just the bare essentials, knife, a few extra blades, a file, a little glue, no bigger than a shaving kit. When everything just got too much for me, I would pick up a simple 1/72 kit or an old airfix figure and kept myself busy. Just to get past that craving for modelling. Kept my sanity when the going got rough. Kept the kits in an old shoe box, finished them later on. Just kept me occupied.
All the best.
On the bench;
Converting a 74 gun Heller kit into HMS Sutherland; 1/200
Converting Bomb Ketch into HMS Harvey; 1/200
Cleaning up an Aifix lot of 54mm figures, for converting.
While I have my dream shop now- 12 x 20 basement room, I certainly put in enough years in dinky places. I never stopped modeling when I went off to college, building in three different dorm rooms. Then, in different apartments when I was in AF and back to grad school. Then, another apartment before we bought our first house.
It is possible to build simple kits with a portable board that goes on a table or desk, with a small portable case to store tools and supplies. I found in the most restricted areas that certain kinds of models took more easily to portable building than others. Old ships and WW1 airplanes can be brush painted and still look fine. This past winter my basement got too cold to work in for any long period, so I rigged up a building board I could use on dinette table, and worked on a paper model I had been wanting to try.
Only real disaster I had in dorm was when I was building a balsa model with a carved fuselage. I had the waste basket half full of balsa chips and my roommate came in after drinking a bit too much. He was smoking a cigar and flicked it into waste basket. Fortunately, no smoke detectors in those days and we got the fire out with only a scorched basket as damage- but we did have to pay for the basket when we checked out that spring :-(
