It's pretty good (I just bought a set yesterday).

Here's how my space looks now. A bit different from the pic in the very first post. :-)

Nice update. What are the receipts for? Looks like it's a commerical painting kitchen and those are the jobs to finish in order.

Oh, and nice nana rug for you knees :D

The receipts are postal receipts from eBay sales that I've not received feedback for yet , you never know if you going to need them.

It gets bloody cold in that place, so I need the dog blanket for my knees :-)

I to have taken to painting with a blanket over my legs. Not so much for warmth. But because I have lost count of the number of pants I have ruined with paint/glue spills over the years. Also it helps to catch all the things I drop.

Last weekend I finally finished my workbench after some (long time) preparation :D. I moved to a bigger appartment one and a half year ago and had a spare room available.

How it looked in december 2016:

My workbench is being relocated, but only from one side of the room to the other!

I'll get some natural light - that's a window top right - and ultimately more space to make a creative mess in! The short term disruption has me twitchy, though, especially with LPL running right now!



If you play the CSI "Enhance... enhance... enhance..." game on this photo you might be able to make out my next five LPL11 entries all lined up on the shockingly clean desk surface!

Looking good WireLizard.  Scary thing is I recognize several of the figures as Pulp Figures with no magnifying. Seems I have some of them staring at me from my not so clean paint desk...  lol

Decided to spend the last week of the summer holiday doing a complete overhaul of my hobby room......

Went from looking like this:


To this:


I sold off one of my 2 desks, removed as much empty (not that it ever was empty) horizontal space as possible as this seems a magnet for attracting crap. I was lucky that I found my fifth secondhand Alex cabinet on the day I was putting my furniture back into the room so that added enough storage space for painted stuff to keep me going till retirement I hope. Threw out a lot of stuff and the cabinet toppers and small sets of drawers beside me will go up for sale on the local fleabay, joined by a ton of kits and older models I have no more use of.

Yes, it is very clean, and you don't see any paintpots or anything. I don't even have a display case or anything. Everything is behind closed doors. Leaving it out on the table just seems to bring out the clutter monster in me and affects my mood a lot, and I need this space for studying as well. I know it's a tad OCDish but it works for me. And my wife is over the moon with the change so that counts for something. Now to keep it this way.  :D

Tons more of info about the rest of the room on my Blog btw >> http://20mmandthensome.blogspot.nl/2017/08/d-day-7.html
