The Weller is indispensable when precision is called for. The same goes for the LaRue Tactical Beverage Entry Tool!!

Re: Your modelling area
I bought a Hakko and really love it since it heats up so quickly. My old soldering iron took so long to heat up I would forget what I was going to solder...lol I'm kidding of course, but the Hakko is ready in like 30 seconds. I can literally turn it on...solder some broken wire and turn it off. Had to clean the benches off last night again after doing a bunch of work on the IS-7. Today they are nice and clean again since I'm trying out the XTC-3D resin on my IS-7 wheels after work tonight. My significant other wants to use it also for some 3D prints I did for her on the new printer in the last few days.

Re: Your modelling area
Ok I have set up my work space in my new garden room.
Got the basics in but need some recommendations for storage etc. I want it to look 'nice'. Not a big mess of tools and half painted tanks lol.
I'm thinking of getting some stacking storage draws for the right side.
Picture attached. Ideas welcome!

Re: Your modelling area
We have a great affection for Sainsbury's Cornish Ice Cream which comes in a very useful 5 litre plastic lidded box and it is ideal for storing all those Tank related "bits" and they stack perfectly.
After all once we have eaten the Ice Cream what would you do with them ?
Recycle or find a better use closer to home.

Funnily enough I have about 100 1/72 scale Napoleonic figures that I painted when I was younger stored in a couple of those!jarndice wrote:We have a great affection for Sainsbury's Cornish Ice Cream which comes in a very useful 5 litre plastic lidded box and it is ideal for storing all those Tank related "bits" and they stack perfectly.

I cannot be sure from the photo, NAB, but it looks as if you may want some bright some overhead lighting. I have four friends who join me each Tuesday. Each of us has a table with an LED Shop Light directly above it. Yet we all use lights and magnifiers, too.
