IN YOUR WORKSHOP
RCM&E|June 2020
The Editor's request for pictures of your work rooms had you reaching for cameras and phones, and snapping busy building benches up and down the land.
IN YOUR WORKSHOP

Winter is often described as the main building season but for many modellers their working areas are in fairly constant use. Spring and summer are especially valuable as once your winter project is out of the way and the building board is clear then now is a great time to give everything a good spring clean and to clear out all those never used bits and bobs that may be cluttering things up.

My motivation for asking for your workshop pictures was to help me with my own pending clear out and tidy up of my workroom, especially ideas about how to organise my tools to improve the chances of finding the right one without spending 10 minutes rummaging through a multitude of drawers and boxes! You certainly came up trumps, so here are just a few of the many responses that we have received so far... Kevin Crozier

SPITFIRE HANGAR

Chris Reid is the first to invite us to look ‘through the keyhole’ into his modelling den:

“Your editorial mentions the state of workshops. Attached are three images of mine, which cover all the bases!

Bottom right of my workshop pic is a Guillows 28” span Spitfire. The very fiddly kit comes with options to build it as a rubber model, free flight IC power or R/C model, and a control liner. Mine, yet to fly, has been modified for electric power and micro R/C.”

I have to say that Chris’ first picture made me chuckle as it looks just like my tool drawer and is exactly what I am trying to get away from! Mind you, the other pictures prove what an organised chap he really is. From the rack on the back wall, I guess he does rather a lot of filing?
