What's on the Bench? 2021

[rtfoe]

Okay, Sprague painted and bits attached...only railings to go. At the mo it's been varnished ready for decalling. The varnish has made it look darker.



Funny how the white paper reflector has made it look lighter in shade than the Knox.



Cheers,

Well the hobby room is more or less done, just need to move a rather large display cabinet from up stairs to the hobby room. (not to mention the models inside it)!
Any how...

Paint table looks like a bomb went off already lol. U-boat paint started.


Need to make a door of some sort for a new cabinet...If only it was 4cm narrower, but alas now I need to buy a full sheet acrylic!


Most of the stash.... and more messy work top! Dont take long do it!?

TTFN.

Wow! Great workspace.

 

[Mini Me]

No carpet monster here..... you'll have to come up with a good reason for lost bits of plastic and etch! Beautiful work space Ian!

I've been rather absent from the forum since August due to the rather relentless nature of my new job, with very little time available for hobbies. But there has actually been something on my bench for all that time which I could have shared ,and it's only just occurred to me to do so.
I have been working on a private commission for a local architect during my limited spare time. It's a 1-50 model of a house he has designed and it will go on display in his shop window on our High Street. It is entirely 3D printed in PLA filament on my Ultimaker S5 and it will eventually have lights inside. It will not be painted but remain in the monotone grey, which is what architects like....
As you will see, I haven't tried to print it in one piece, I have made a kit of parts to enable better definition depending on the build orientation required, and to minimise the need for support structures on overhangs.
Hopefully it will be finished in the next couple of weeks and I can start something of my own, I'm really missing it now.
Hope you find it interesting.
cheers

Nice. Do they still make houses like these over there? All new houses over here are ultra modern and seldom showbrick work.

You planning to have a group build session in there...what a lot of space. Heating must be costly as it would for air-conditioning if it were here.

Ok I have to paint the tail light and I just ordered some Stowage for it from Value Gear. When it gets here I’ll add it to the trailer and post it in the Completed section. Thanks for all the likes and complements.

We have air to water heat pump on the central heating. 30% of the price of our old oil boiler.

Thanks for the other comments, got the rest of the 'skateboard' painted, next up a gloss coat and a bit of rust grime and streaking.

Thanks, it's not bad is it. The only problem i suffer is the low winter sun, remember that, does kinda beat in the Windows, it's easy solved with a black out blind.
Plenty of room to build big war canoes.

Wow Lee, that's a neat job.Love the trailer hook and the wood work.

Thanks for the complement John Still waiting for the Stowage and paint

This is on the bench at the moment. Updated the seat a little with some styrene and wire. I also made a instrument panel.
