Untidy? Those pictures are of my desk when it is tidy! When it's untidy you can't see the desk. It gets completely coated in model parts from my bits-box.
I'd really like a proper workshop. A shelf full of model kits so I have lots of spare parts, a nice big, open desk area, a set of rulers and set squares, and a display case for all the finished models. Oh and lots of storage space for the paints, glues, varnish and so on.
And yes, those models are made from my own illustrations. The first stage starts off in the sketch pad, then it moves up to accurate freehand drawing where the dimensions are decided, then it goes onto graph paper, and from there I make scale drawings of each part. The parts are then cut off from the sheet of plastic, trimmed, sanded, filed, and then glued on the model. Once the model is completed, I start to think about what kind of finish I want to give it in terms of textured plastic, and from there it moves on to a plastic coating that covers up any blemishes on the plastic work. Then the model gets put in a vacuform moulding machine, where an exact replica is made. The replica gets tested with one or two different paint schemes until I am happy with the look, then the replica gets sold and shipped to the customer.

I ment untidy in the sense of haveing a lot of art stuff laid out and trying to find room to put this equipment. I have a similar problem I just need a shelf and I am set. Anyway thats cool that you snowboard. There are some cool slopes in my area probabaly nothing compared to where you are.
But they are decient. And Oddguy I wouldn't worry about haveing what you have because in time if you stick with what your doing you too will acumulate art stuff that will eventually grow into a mini studio.
When I started I dident even have an art table. I just had computer paper whatever I found and normal pencils. And then one year I got a drawing table the kind with the light and thats when I really got into it and now its become a mini studio. Trust me it will grow into a mini studio because thats what generally happens as you get more and more professional at what you do.
