Purchased shortly ago / sthg new in your workshop -> present it here

That model is quite hard to get , originally they were made in Italy , Aero something,
I bought one on eBay but haven’t seen one since ,
Amazion uk do the standard one for about £25 ian
 
I paid £56 wich included fast shipping and tax and duties. I did not saw the one from Amazon in UK, but I did not check specifically there too. I just checked and found only the modelcraft plank bender which is totally a different model.
 
On a online fleamarket I bought me a slide height gauge. It was in a terrible state.

This may be a stupid question, but how do you know where the waterline is on a model ship you are building, ?
The waterline market you have reconditioned is the dogs wotsits ian

Maybe this makes more sense

And I bought it on a online flea-market it is not a waterline market. It is a slide height gauge or vernier height gauge

New light in my workshop daylight ledpanels 4000 lumen and 40 Watt each. They are expensive but I got them for free :cool:
Our community gave to everybody a voucher of 80 euro who have a rental house. This was because the energy prises rise to the top because of the war and the high prises of gas and electricity. We live in a good energy low apartment. So I ask my neighbours if they use this voucher and almost everybody I asked gave me these vouchers. You only can buy led lights or things like radiator foil. I bought these led panels. I only ordered a remote control to operate the panels separately on.... you know where.
I'm happy with them, they give me so much light on my working table.

Now I am looking on the marketplace for second hand wall racks to make behind the table against the wall, so that everything can be neatly stored. We need to keep our hobby cheap.
I'm also waiting for my special modified chair that my health insurance company will give me so that I can work on the ship again without getting pain in my back.
Then I can finally continue with my hobby. I miss it and the relaxation and fun it brings.

Steef66 , your working room with those lights looks great !!

I see you have your working table fully covered with cutting Mats. Besides that looks very nice, is there another reason ?

Cheers
Daniel
