That's the 'Modeller's Rubik's Cube Problem' Alastair.

You need at least one empty space to which you can move things just to get started. In my case the Problem encompasses the ENTIRE house!  :o


Not quite that bad here yet although most of the living room floor is taken up with piles of Modelling magazines. I do have a plan for those which involves my buying a bookcase and several packs of Magazine storage boxes in the hope that I can store all the magazines together with ease of access when looking for articles or reviews. Not going to happen for a while though.

 Not so much Prof.Rubiks  more like the labours of Sisyphus..............perhaps we have all offended the various modelling gods.

No matter how careful I am to organize my modelling activities chaos still reigns supreme :banghead:

Do all the little bits stuck to the bench top from the last time I spilled the glue count?

Not so much the bench but purgatory, where I keep my supplies and the recently almost half built nearly finished but I started something else collection.

Come on Captain, just look at all those 'Leaping Heaps'
You could have a theme build all of your own :thumbsup:
Surely one of them must be finished by now?

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

The updates to the F-105 and the F-101, the kitbash racer/interceptor, the space cruiser, the stubby hawk, the shuttle-C, and an LAV. Some of these have been around for years. :banghead: Plus lots of just plain junk that should be cleaned off.

Just found the 737 I changed to a high wing version. Why is it always the painting stage that drags me down?

Workbench? Luxury! This is all I'm allowed by SWMBO, a patch in front of the microwave. Any serious cutting or sanding happens in the shed where my spares and paints etc are kept. Brass monkeys recently ;D.

Handy for de-warping kit parts or vacforming canopies etc.   ;) :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

This is the roll around workbench (In the front) with my bigger storage bench in the back.

That is my son's Petty car on the right (Which he is doing in a different scheme and number:Whiffing if you will!) and the Tea wagon is a little off the normal path for me. My sister had it on display in a store and"it fell apart" when it was removed for a different display. So I am repairing it for my sister. I hope to finish all these before they finish me.
