I'm a minister, and I build my models in my study when I'm not working 
. I have a separate workbench at right angles to my study desk, and theoretically I can swivel my chair from my "work" zone to my "hobby" zone. ;D
But I had a problem.....
It was almost a year since I'd tidied up the work bench, and it showed. Not just paint all over the place, but it was getting a bit congested. Not only was I running out of building space, but my wife was complaining about the mess. Finished builds had spilled over onto the bookshelves (making it hard to get to my books), the last half-dozen builds hadn't even left the bench (no room for them to go!), and my adjoining "office desk" was being taken over by paint cans and brushes. And built subassemblies.....
I started off taking ten boxes full of built-up models out to the shed. Everything came off the bench top, and new paper was laid down. I sorted out the unfinished projects I'd had on the bench, and whittled them down to three. The rest were stored elsewhere until these three were off the bench.
Here's what it looks like now:
Spot the built model in hiding!
Here's an MPC/Ertl '70 GTO under construction:
Yes, there's a Nissan Skyline in bits in the background. LOTS more of them where that one came from!
And an oddity perhaps - a 1/87 Cooper Craft AEC Monarch cabover!
Thanks for looking!
