I think the workbench photo you used GTX is not one from a member of this forum, looks way to clean. Not enough unbuilt, started projects.😜

certainly not Greg's work bench either as all of the kits are in the "wrong scale" :)

Great insight. :)   Could not have said it better.
Like to clear off even one of bench's three unfinished kitbashes.

Oh crap this could be bad. I've got a bunch of projects gathering dust, the Jetty-Ju, the tri-motor Betty VIP transport, the Avro Luton, the von Braun inspired airliner...

I should do this by the numbers, oldest first. I've got enough half-starts to be comfortably set for the CYWB GB in 2017, 2018, 2019 and beyond.

Thatz a nice work bench.  Can even see surface material, its color and such.
In round numbers, mine is 90% cluttered/covered.  Doing cleaning now (entire room).  Maybe can participate in this GB.

Hopefully, I'll get something in for this one but this year has been a bit of a washout on the modelling front.  So many crappy things have happened this year that, were I not such an optimist, I would suspect that some minor (or major) deity has it in for me!  :(

Pass the razor saw, there is work to be done!

Looks like a "staged picture" done by non model builders.  Idealistic book-magazine kinda picture.
Correct type items here-n-there,,,,,,,  but looking oh so staged.
Even after multi-mandays of clean up.  My bench-room won't come out looking like that.

2025? Is it too early to ask for an extension yet?

The more I look at the picture the more I think "Adobe Photoshop" was involved.

I actually bought a roll top desk to use for modelling a couple of years back to protect WIPs from toddlers, pets and careless spouse, etc.  The issue is the sides mean it fills up with crap very quick meaning I need another bench next to it to more stuff to or work on.  Worse yet is now the spare room it is in has a double bed instead of the single (I suggested a sofa bed or Futon but was interstate when the bed was bought), as well as a corner computer desk, and I can't get to either desk without pulling the bed out then pushing it up against the built-in robe doors. :(

Why a double bed?  Well a queen, let alone a king, wouldn't fit and my step daughter needs it apparently, for when she visits for a week, once or twice a year. :S

Clear Your Bench Build?! More like clear your bench backhoe.  :-X



Yes, that's a toilet lid, don't ask.  :-\

I feel your pain. We have to have a "guest bedroom" for when one of my kids stays overnight. Like you said, once or twice a year. And my youngest is in college so she is gone most of the time except when she comes home for a weekend. And she still has her room. I suggested a combo library, office, lab and model room. I got the eyeroll. ::)
