Sancta Sanctorum: the table model

central point of the hobby on a small scale model is the table:

The table itself is the most important: a place to work and where to leave the model is nearing completion, and no one should have no reason to get your hands!
begin the tour, and, from left to right, are two boxes full of jars of different brands of color, purchased as needed and prices: In all honesty, I found no differences in yield to justify inflated prices, and the same is true for brushes. In
pen up there are files and next we see toothpicks, balsa and glue Various

the center there is another box with the colors most frequently used, with water on the tray with brush holder Built-in (bought from Lidl for a few euro). Large plastic
so on the left are the pedestals of Easter eggs, such as recycled supports raised to paint figures with more comfort, while the shorts in the middle are ex-scoops for the mouthwash, I use to mix the colors (scoops, not mouthwash!).
the scenes with the pad that protects the desk, on which I placed a plastic cutting board IKEA, thin and resistant, which bears the marks of many battles:

On the right we find the heavy equipment.
by the phone are the bench clamp and minitrapano, while on the left we see the soldering iron and above, clippers, tweezers, pliers and gimlets beak, on the wall of the library with two magnetic supports IKEA :

Continuing the tour, we leave the table and find the necessary drawer compartments for small (a few euro by OBI), which stand out above the radio and battery in the spot light.
It also noted a magnifying glass table and some tools of the reserve.

Still further, we see the roll made of a metal table leg (OBI) mounted on the wall.
The string that is next to roast perfectly simulates the rope in the dioramas.
On the left, stucco walls, the abrasive paste (useful for removing residual glue and paint from his hands) and a fraction of the volumes needed to documented:

On the wall behind the desk hangs a further set of drawers (LIDL) to catalog the pieces of surplus:

Finally, we speak of enlightenment.

You can not do without a table lamp with energy saving light bulb strictly cold (solar), in order to have a clear view of the surrender of the colors used.

The same bulb (do not need that brand) is applied to the model set with lamp and magnifying glass, which allows greater precision in the detail of the pieces.

At the center of the table there is a trivial plastic rotating platform (the sub-brands are good as more expensive models), which is indispensable for access to all parts of the bulkier models and allows the study of shadows for subsequent washes and highlights:

As shown was created based on my experience as a model, but it is obvious that there is an absolute standard, I can say without hesitation is to find a quiet, lighted and ventilated, not it has to be also very spacious.
Regarding the equipment (which is discussed in detail in the post Tools of the Trade ), the advice is always to save as much as possible, to have more availability for models and reference texts.
you soon!
