Hehe...that would be my goofy dog Chloe. She kept trying to get in the shot so i figured what the heck. She's always down there with me .

Hi,

That's a black labrador, is it not. Goofy you say. We have just got a 3 month old female black labrador.....totally nuts come the evening. Did you have the same experience with Chloe. Incidentally, ours is called Cleo.....

Yours, in the ruff!

Yours only goes nuts in the evening? Your lucky! Mine is about 7 years old and she is still a big goof. Friendly animal, very loving and loyal but she seems to think she is a lap dog and not a 65lb Lab.

This is WAY off topic, but I have to ask. Do your Labs have a "thing" about bees and wasps? Ours, a three year old Lab/Boxer mix, goes nuts when she sees one and will aggressively hunt them and has learned how to kill and even eat them, usually without getting stung. Darnedest thing I've ever seen!

Hello my name is Bert and i am living in Purmerend in the Netherlands and this is my workbench,i build everything but at the moment i am building the S.M.S.Emden 1/350 and the Bismarck 1/350.



Sorry for my English

I know I shouldn't write anything - but I honestly can't work out how people keep thier work station so neat and tidy. If you can find my bench under the clutter lol then you're a better bloke then me.

HMAS Sydney, IJN Akatsuki, and another IJN torpedo boat destroyer in the shipyard. I obtained a magnifying glass to assist detecting painting flaws and other necessary corrections.

Shipmodeling again!

Good 2B here again!

Aha--that looks like the 1/72 WMM Austro-Hungarian Torpedo boat...

called-- Falke...?

a very fine kit indeed-- its your kond of scale and colouring !

JIM B

Hey Jim,
yes it�s the ADLER/FALKE kit, comes along in the 72nd and yes, its a fine kit indeed!
As a resin kit it takes its time, but it�s a very, very nice subject, to be rendered out of a beautiful cast.
I am just about to discover my love for all these (pre)WWI aircraft, tanks and ship stuff.
I bought the kit at the Oberschleissheim show, May this year, and finally my bench is ready to built it.






The model made by the owner of WMM, Peter Plattner. Just gorgeous!

I cant help myself, somehow i more and more find my self involved in kind of big scale endevours...
Just love to try all those techniques and methods.

First off after 25 yrs in the Navy you get use to working in small spaces! On my right hand side is a foot rest that I set stuff on. Plus I have a work/drawer bench in the basement to stow stuff too. When I need things I just bring it up from the basement. I airbrush in the basement. I have a nice little station set up down there.

jim asked me to post my new workspace in this thread.i moved 6 months ago and had to build a new work area,i closed in a 6by8 ft space in my garage.it is not very big but my drill press,sander and scroll saw are on a bench in the garage so it works fine.heres some pics

Well here's mine, recently oiled (linseed) the top again, the grey paints are WWII Oz ship greys (carpentry shop) bench obtained about 1946-7, included only to show I can clean it off once in a while now for wots onna the bench at the moment She is undergoing a "refit" after 40 odd yrs the gearbox is shot.
No the figure is not Japanese!

Hi there
After looking at all these working slipways and dry docks Which I might add some are actually worse than mine (wife says no excuse for letting mine get that bad) oops. I thought I would show you mine
thanks for looking

Ian

This is were I do most of my work, Who needs a large workshop, only more room to put clutter.

Well, after finally settling down here in the Philippines I finally established a somewhat cozy little nook within which to ply my hobby. Of course, I spend most of the time using it for real WORK related projects.
Now no one get their panties in a bunch. That there is the confederate NAVAL Ensign. The Stars and Stripes are on the pole outside along with the Philippine flag... thank you very much!
Overall, it is comfy and allows a nice escape from the nuttiness that surrounds me.

Here is my new resin casting workbench in the basement..........

"Secured for Sea" I see. Very nice. What is the make/model of the pressure pot? I'd like to get a little more into pressure casting as ambient pressures produce too many bubbles for me. Of course, finding anything like that out here will be like looking for hen's teeth I'm afraid.
