My workshop is about 11’ by 12’ in size. The cabinetry was all
built from ¾” plywood protected with plastic laminate. All of the
drawers are equipped with full-extension drawer slides. The only
model building activities not accommodated by my shop are
sand blasting and airbrushing. Sand blasting is done outside with
a portable sand blast booth, while a paint booth under the lay-
out provides everything needed for airbrushing.

3: The main storage area on the wall above the drill press
and machining tools provides a lot of storage space (but
never enough). This section holds plastic storage boxes
for items ranging from track laying parts (spikes, joint
bars, and track gauges) to figures, rubber molds, and
spare decoders. Another section provides storage for
resin casting materials, wood stains, spray adhesive, etc.
