Hello friends,
thank you very much for your congratulations
thank you very much for your congratulations
The talent and workmanship that is present on this forum is extraordinary, and inspirational. I can't help but wonder where is it being produced? This thread has probably been done before, but I would love to see a picture of your workshop, the power and hand tools, and general layout of your sanctuaries. I will start with a picture of my basement shipyard.

After spending what seems like 6 months cleaning my shop, I thought I'd post some photos. I actually enjoy being down there for the dustier parts of model ship building...now that it's relatively clean!
These images are awesome,we have atopic already for workshops,I move these posts there to have them in one place
Thats a great looking workshop Doc.

You have great working places - and so clean and organized
Two days ago I made some photos to document my mess - this is the typical status during working on a model.
I hope to clean up a little bit during the holidays

Uwe: Mine looks like yours most of the time. I finished a major cleaning just before my photos!

Wow wow wow, what a working places ........
This is where all my micacles come alive:
Workplace, storage, office, studio .......
What about the cane helmet above my chair? When the sky comes down, I'm safe.
Every week, clean up and re-organize.
Regards, Peter

WOW, those are some awesome shipyards. I'll be looking closely at many of these for organization ideas. Here is my original shipyard and my new and improved shipyard I moved into a few weeks ago.
Here is the improved version.
This is my home made spray and dust booth with the future HMS Fly ready to go once Bluenose is completed.

@kidsgalore You have a nice collection of models on both sides. You can submit images in our section for completed models, also they could be added to our Show Gallery.
But...I also spotted a build-in-progress for ...Trident's Alert! Why don't you consider to open a build log? About 40 ~50 kits already bought, but only a handful of members show the build in their build logs. Isn't it a group build for?
We need members' participation!!

Now that's an addition I need for my shipyard. (Of course, I do have a 3-tap kegerator in the corner for homebrew.)Celebration mead close at hand
My My My. I've not peeked in here before. Some really beautiful modeling areas for sure.
I have two areas. There is a separate building, 18' X 25', with an extension of 18' X 14' with a full basement for storage. These spaces developed during my working career as a Builder, Carpenter, cabinetmaker, specialty wood products maker. I earned my living out of here for about 45 years. These picks show it more recently and kinda messy, as I don't do much in here professionally any more. (I'm 79).
I do much of the messy work out here.
Part one -
This is the 18 X 25 area
This is the back 18 X 14 area. All is heated and piped with compressed air.
Welding
Leather working

Part 2, inside model room.
Both the outside shop and the model room have evolved over the 50 years or so, and the equipment added in as needed (or wanted).
In the beginning, when restarting modeling after a 40 year hiatus, I used some shelves and the drafting table in my office.
Then, took a different corner of the lower level of the house and turned it into an "official" modeling room, moving this stuff into it.
I do Wood ship kits, scratch built wood boats, Plastic kits (mostly of aircraft carriers and ships) usually adding lots of detail or corrections to them.
These are taken from left to right around the room
Right now the room is kinda crowded. I've had a building slump and need to get my MOJO back.
On the bench - Got a 350 plastic Missouri with all the trimmings, a Guillows DC-3 (wood), Dumas sailboat (wood), two Canoes, (wood 1 cedar, one pear), and a Metal Earth Kylo Ren's command shuttle in PE.
I sure wish I could keep my bench as neat as some of these. I just pass it off as "having everything close at hand".

WOW EJ, that is quite the setup you have going. Looks like you have enough model kits to last you for 50 years of building. We're all too busy being envious of your setup to even notice any mess.
