My Other “back-house” Workshop
This is my other shop for larger model building and numerous other honey-do projects. I built this quite a number of years ago and just kept adding storage space, counters, and cubby holes. Being a Virgo, all my tools etc, have a place and are in their place. The floor space is about 16 feet by 8 feet. When I do any type of a project the shop become completely cluttered, trashed, and over-sprayed. After each project is completed I repaint everything and start all over again. There is more paint on the surfaces than there is on a battleship. It’s just me. Like taking a road trip. The car has to start out clean and from that point on I could care less.

WOW ! Picture perfect, just like your models ! If my room looked half that nice, I would just lock the door and never mess it up again. If clutter were models, I’d have the world’s biggest collection. I do have one of the largest dust collections and use my models as a place to store it. Yours looks better than most operating rooms I’ve been in Very nice, Frank..

Impressive……and is that the Gallery Models USS Wasp I see in there? I did that several months ago – it’s a dream to build and very detailed with a lotta extra “goodies” (that unfortunately no one ever sees) – I left the flight deck UNglued in order to be able to show it off should the opportunity arise.

Craig,
Thats it. I want to do it as the BHR LDH-6. I haven’t as yet even looked into and I will remember what you say about leaving the flight deck unglued.

Wow, Frank, that’s amazing, I’m so jealous, it’s bigger than our kitchen, and much cleaner!

BTW – if you need a new home for the B-26, I have room. Might even be insane enough to make it flyable again…

Jamie,
Believe me if it were mine I might take you up on the offer to get rid of it. It is too big to store. Unfortunately it is not mine. I re-painted it for a 93 year old (still driving) former pilot of the B-26. He built it and donated it to the Hiller Aircraft Museum in San Carlos, CA. It is set up for R/C.
