Bob's Shipyard - now open for model making.Update on my conversion of the old 'office' into a more practical area for working on model boats. Thanks again for all the tips and suggestions.
As pictured below, the old CAD workstation bench has been veneered in pine and given 3 coats of yacht varnish. Two cheap cupboards connected with shelving for my component organisers and other bits, with two small strip lights under for when I need them. A new 4 ft strip light to replace the single Eco (almost zero light) ceiling bulb. All tubes are 'daylight'.
9 sockets over this bench, plus the 6 on the small worktop opposite. Should be enough
.
I am using cut-down postal tubes for Plastruct etc, as suggested.
To do: A matching extended pine worktop for the PC area, door knobs, and a nautical looking clock. I am still searching for a door plate that says "Shipyard, managers office" or something similar.
Some of the storage space is for non boat stuff that needs to stay, but at least it has 'tidy' potential. I am no longer limited to just short sessions on the dining table, having to pack away each evening. No TV yet, but I have the computer here for research, and this Forum of course !
