The much neglected modelling desk

[blackf40]

Now i know that we focus on models and how to make them, and rightly so, but what about a word on the all-important desk?

I've based my modelling endeavors in some pretty interesting surroundings: a closet, a banquet table, a ping-pong table, and the top of a deep freezer come to mind. Finally, i took matters into my own hands and built myself a dedicated modelling desk. At last, i don't have to run to another room to airbrush!

Let me know what you think, and feel free to post your own desk or lack of.

nice setup!, i have a small desk in my closet with some custom shelves right now lol. I need to get something like you have!

how sturdy is the keyboard tray when you really gotta cut something with the knife?

[mikemechanic]

That's way to organized What do you do with that exhaust fan? Looks like it goes nowhere?

My modeling desk right now consists of a lapdesk and a hospital cart! I built both the Viper and Corvette that are posted over in the completed and in progress forums sitting crosslegged on the living room floor. Hopefully over Thanksgiving I can bring my actual desk up here (we have the room for it) and set up my space like I had back home.

jtracing: the tray is pretty beefy--i mean, i'm not going to jump up and down on it, but i can put a bit of weight on it

mikemechanic: unfortunately, i can't exhaust the air outside, but it's coming through a furnace filter, so the air's a lot cleaner

Lonegunman46 - I thought mine was bad! Isn't it amazing that stuff gets built on our desks? I can't beleive it. Here's mine, and I think it's important to not that wherever there's models, there's supposed to be homework. Whoops.

Looks like someone else has a tamiya paint stand, I know I love mine. Willimo, has yours been indispensible? Cool workspaces, I'll get pics of mine whenever I finish cleanin it up a little.

Best $14 I ever spent on tools. The beautiful part is that the top detaches from the bottom turn table, and you can move the car body any which way that way, and it holds amazingly well. It's a great advance from my coke bottles.

I know, mine was 20, but even for that, it can't be beat! Tamiya paint stand owners unite! lolz.

I still don't understand why the people with homemade ones busted on them, tisk tisk....
Oh well, they don't know what their missin!

Nice workplaces!
