Plans for the First Quarter of 2018

Now that I have a dedicated workbench for my hobbies, I hope to get more work accomplished. Over the last few months have had some yearning to do some scratch building and to assemble some structures. Shacks and sheds for some reason have become my latest fixation.

Here are some images from my Structures printerest board I have compiled for ideas and for inspiration.

Built, a New Workbench

I needed more room for my hobbies and have wanted to build a new workbench for some time. The workbench features a two by four-foot workspace exclusively for my hobby work.

Phase two added space for my paints, brushes, and some tools. I would like to create a couple of cubbies for two project trays, and a few small drawers for my tools.

The third phase will add shelf and a cabinet to the lower level. The cabinet will be used to store bulk brush cleaner and plastic cement. The shelves will be used to store my raw materials and my collection of unpainted miniatures and styrene kits.
