I’m now in my new model room.  This is across the hall from my garage, my old modelling room. I’m still taking the occasional item from the old room especially as my paints are still stored there. Additionally I’m using it to do any gluing with Tamiya Thin to keep the smell out of my new room.

Importantly I now have air-conditioning and a sparse but focused room now. I’m no longer sharing my space with storage, gardening tools, fridges etc.

So let’s start off with a quick tour.

As you enter on the left is a wall with framed drawings of the Dornier 335 by Alan Bentley. I actually had these as blueprints in a larger format way back in the late 70s but not as well presented and when I moved out of home these stayed behind.

Going round to the right you come to the back wall and this is where the four IKEA cupboards assembled by my eldest son are as well as bookshelves on the right.

As you can see above nearly all of my unstarted model kits are stored in archive boxes as well as some books including a shelf of modelling related books with thise on the bottom right being various unread military books.

Going around to the right we come to more framed prints being Hs 129 on top and the R4M rocket on the bottom.

After that are my three IKEA display shelves.

Finally we come to the front of the room with two windows and a sit to stand desk which was again sourced by my eldest.

On the right is my older grey set of drawers from the garage and a new Ikea set of drawers.
My desk has returned to my normal level of mess but somehow feels tidier as everything seems more accessible, it just feels more comfortable with less distractions.

And lastly here is the garage desk. I’ve got two nearly finished kits out there that I hope to work on their painting in the future.

This is the Arba conversion for the Me262 purpose built bomber.
