My home away from home, we’ve had our own room at the in-laws’ place in Nagano Prefecture ever since Mayu’s grandfather passed away. Years ago, I commandeered an unused table and set it up as a modeling workbench in front of the TV. The blue zaisu<\/em> (floor chair) is partially busted. I’ve had it ever since our apartment when we lived in Himeji.<\/a> I have some tools and supplies I keep there. I’d posted earlier about Japanese modeling setups,<\/a> so here is my secondary modeling workbench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This neat holder for glue bottles and paint brushes was 3D printed. SMKR gave it to me as a gift several years ago, and it is perfect for this little modeling setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamiya’s enamel, acrylic, and lacquer thinners, toothpicks, ceramic paint trays, plus a bottle of Mr. Base White 1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep a bunch of modeling crap in the drawer. Sandpaper, tweezers, scissors, paint trays, etc. My nippers here are from a Taiwanese company and I got them when I worked for Aoshima 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I keep a Tamiya work apron here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought a cheap region-free DVD player on YAJ and it’s there for the TV whenever I want to use it. The TV doesn’t have the best hi-def resolution, but I’m not gonna complain. It actually has S-Video inputs in case I ever want to hook up a retro console to it. The last time we stayed here, I had my hacked SFC Mini console<\/a> hooked up to the TV. Usually I have either my laptop or Raspberry Pi set up on this table. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
