Marc,i think that most of us don't need much of space and we share some silmilarities.
I have the ELFA shelf system and really happy with it,i have a printer and the pc to my right which i do this old the time: paint some parts,go to the pc and check Planet and Facebook cause my eyes are about to explode hehe

I bought it recently (last year) its a Faded SG model.
I did like this guitar when I tried it but I'm more a Strat and Tele player.

Here some mp3 if you want to hear my Strat :

To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, "That's nawt a bench!"

Here's mine:

"Now, thet's a bench!"



I took those photos in January 2009, I think it was. It looks pretty much the same today, only some of the figures and kits in progress have changed.

Prost!

I can see you like the Prussian army,great figures !
Question,i've seen before,the container of Future,what is that for??

 

[Adam Baker]

Future makes for a great gloss coat, that is resistant to lacquers & such, so if you paint w/ acrylics, you could go back and do washes w/ oil paints, lacquers, enamels, etc.

Thanks, guys! Before I moved into this house, I had a mobile home, and the bench was built to fit one of the spare rooms, which was about 9'x8'. When I moved, I felt so grateful to have room to walk around the table

daniel, Adam is correct, Future is a liquid acrylic. On your floors, like vinyl or on tiles, it makes a tough barrier against wear (like foot traffic, etc). When I got back into scale modeling, I learned about its use in modeling and painting. I seal my gloss figures with it, and when building scale models, like aircraft, I apply a coat of Future before applying decals. The gloss finish makes a smooth surface for the decal and helps eliminate silvering (air trapped under decals). I also dip clear parts in it. It seals the minute scuffs and scratches on a canopy, for example, making it look clearer.

I have also starteding experiments to use tinted Future as a sealer and a highlighting wash. I'll put the barest little bit of an acrylic color in it, and let that settle in the relief on a figure. I did that on my "Adam and Eve" pair:
