Got this yesterday and so I just HAD to put it together! 46"X30" and variable height! Two drawers will hold 10ml Tamiya or Mr. Color and 1/2 Model Masters. Not I need to find a thin mat to keep things from sliding and short dividers to separate everything. WOOT!!!! No more unstable folding table.

Hey Barney, the table looks great!
The tool box liner that Mike is talking about is also available at Home Depot and Lowe's. It is about 1/16th inch thick. At Home Depot and Lowe's I have also found it to be in beige, white, and black.
 
SWMBO had some leftover from organizing the drawers in The Sewing Palace. Next, I need some bins but found them at a local craft store. if nothing else, I can look like I know what I am doing.
 
Very nice Barney, really like that the table is adjustable. I've always wondered of modeling while standing could be considered exercise... :silly:
 
Love the desk. Barney.
Few more things came in. Now I have the British version of the Austin Armoured car and CSM's new Nieuport XXIII which will be Billy Bishops mount. Also Saul's book on Leibstandart caught my attention. I have had them in my basket for a while and finally decided to pop. I got volume one and will next get volume 2. Also a new Border Models tool. Its heavy aluminum and you mount sand paper on it. Has a nice hanfle so should be easy to hold when sanding small parts flat. Also the second versioon of the Lanz Bulldog. I ended up getting a second of the steel wheeled ones when one of the cats stepped on mine but i managed to fix it so no rush building that kit again. This one has some small changes besides the tires. Also 2 paint schemes. Another blue one from East Prussia 1939 to 1945 and a green one from the Netherlands 1938 to 1950. Got a cart for it also so a small vignette will be coming.

I went for a drive last Thursday to a neighbouring city and stopped in at the LHS there. It's a really nice shop run by a really nice guy. He carries some older kits as well as new releases and I found these two. This is as close as I'll get to Hawaii this year with all this Covid crap. I also picked up a Tamiya M26 Pershing.

I use those sanding extrusions for R/C modeling, Great Planes makes them. Mine go from I think 6 inches to two feet long. Really good when you need things straight and flat. Maybe I should be using the shortest one for plastic modeling.
 
New toys from Green Stuff World, two sizes of lime leaf punches and a roof tile punch. The leaves aren't citrus tree type, but the Tilia known as the Lime, Linden or Basswood tree.

The light blue is for scales 1:63 thru 1:43, dark blue for scales 1:48 thru 1:35 but should work for more scales depending on the size of your shrubbery. Leaves can be punched from paper or leaves collected from the yard. The roof tile is 5 x 10 mm and can be punched from paper, cardboard, 0.5mm plastic card or heavier metal foil Mine was cut from kitchen foil ). Metal foil tiles can be rolled for clay tiles. The punches can be sharpened by punching some aluminium foil and lubricated by punching thru wax paper.

A test run of making a branch using twisted wire from an old phone extension cable (about 0.17 mm dia) and leaves from a handy cash register receipt using the light blue punch, glued on with PVA and then painted with thinned Vallejo zinc chromate.
