Mr D
Excellent 👌👍👍 brilliant job.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Many thanks Mr D - appreciate your feedback 🙏

Neuling
Excellent build and presentation. Looks like a bigger scale kit.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
many thanks @Neuling! I think this is one of biggest compliments a scale modeller can get ... I appreciate it 😊

gorby
I second Neuling. Amazing work!

gorby
Lovely work!

Interesting concept I've not seen before. Very weird...I like weird. 🙂

The Amtronic is the car of the future as AMT thought it would look like back in 1969. AMT created this iconic concept model kit after a Detroit car show. The Amtronic is actually two vehicles in one. The two-place forward section could separate and travel on its own. For longer trips, the rear "station wagon" module would attach to the forward section for significantly more capacity. The Amtronic has aircraft-like retractable wheels. For longer range transport, this vehicle would engage a magnetic rail system that would allow the car to be propelled several hundred miles per hour. The car would generate its own lift thrust using two turbine-powered lift fans while engaged on the magnetic rail system.

Looking good, mate

gorby
Thanks mate, it's a much nicer place to work so it was worth the effort. It's not so tidy now.

Spanjaard
looking good gorbygould. i have to finish my space now... so i may actually copy some of your ideas!

gorby
Thanks Spanjaard. I'm making minor improvements to the set up as I use the space, but it's much more ergonomically laid out. I also raised the worktop level so that I'm not bending over as much as I used to, and that's much better for my back. Just make sure you have plenty of storage when you do yours. I've filled all the drawers and have still got stuff that needs a home.
The magnetic, under-shelf tool storage works very well so I'd recommend that.

Urban Gardini
I like your improvements of your sanity room...

Gordon Sørensen
Great looking work area, gorby! If only mine was as neat and organized...

gorby
Thanks mates.
That's a good name for the room Urban, although I'm not sure I would be classed as entirely sane.
Gordon: I wish mine was that neat and organised as well! The photos are before any plastic was mangled. I've added another photo on the end to give a more accurate image of what's it's like in use.

Spanjaard
ventilation shaft will certainly be copied 🙂

Urban Gardini
Well, of course you're not able to classify as sane. You're after all a modeller...

gorby
😄 (I assume that is supposed to represent laughing – it looks more like constipation to me).
Spanjaard: The ducting was one of my slightly better ideas. It doesn't get rid of the paint smells completely, but it's much better than it was. Incidentally the stuff I used is called 'Kair System 100 Rectangular'. I bought it from a well known South American river😉 and it was quite a reasonable price - £37 all in. The brackets are overpriced but I managed to do it with just one of them.

Very nice job Gorby, and considering your self-reported aversion to labor a laudable effort indeed. I envy the natural light (my cave is in the basement, so no cigar). Nice work on the tool storage and compressor mounting as well 👍

gorby
Thanks Alec. I had hoped those years of manual labour were behind me, it's not good for your health you know. The compressor mounting works well – the rubber shelf mounting and the rubber mat absorb quite a lot of the vibration, so it sounds much quieter.

Spanjaard
i actually have part of the stuff already... i had a couple of tubes leftover from some crazy idea during the renovation of our place... i just need the ends of it, and i have it almost done. well, i need to connect it to the window, but i have an idea about it 🙂

Mark Sherwood
Nice one. It's given me some ideas. 👍🥸🤘

Doubtingmango
Love the magnetic inverted shelf!!!

Kesa Tiho
Wow, cool to see the cave where all the magic happenes. Also interested to see what the mouse looking build on your desk is (you might have posted about it already but i havent checked your profile so gonna go do that now 👍)

gorby
Thanks all. 🙂
Kesa, that was my SHADO 1 build: Where have all the Aliens gone? Scratching my SHADO. | Album by gorby (1:48)

Lebloge
order, method, organization, a very inspiring place 🫡

Mr D
Set up looking 👍👍 will make a pleasant place to work.
I noticed you have to water trap on your airbrush..... Would you recommend l use my one for spraying Tamiya paints ??
I've just used straight air pipe up to now on my water base acrylics ... mainly Velejo.

gorby
Thanks mates. 🙂
Mr. D, it's a bit odd....when I don't use the trap I have problems with the airbrush, but the trap appears to have never trapped any water. My advice would be - if you don't have any problems, don't change what you're doing.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a first-row seat, of course!

gorby
Welcome to the (occasionally fictional) Show Robert. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
se non è vero, è molto ben trovato 😉

Neil
Make me an early attende along with Robert also mate! 👍 🙂

gorby
Muchas grassy arse Robert (see! I speak foreign perfectly. 🙂 )
Welcome Neil!

Robert Podkoński
LM(grassy)AO! 😄 😄 😄

Landlubber Mike
Great details gorby! Nicely done!

David Taylor
You like most of us waste our lives fiddling away on our own little projects only you do it better than most.I try and resist building OOB to make it more challenging and interesting,sometimes OOB.LOL

Bohrmann
👀 aking a seat

Spanjaard
not to be missed, no doubt 🙂

Rui S
What a beautiful scratch you're doing in such a small kit. This is Unbelievable 😮 at least for a person with tired eyes like me. Do you use a microscope? 😄

gorby
Rui, these days I can barely find my work bench without my optivisor. 😄 😄
David, I do it because I like the challenge as well...and I can't write symphonies. Scratch-building in 1/72 also gives me a chance to practice swearing. I'm getting quite good at it now. 😳

Thanks all for tagging along. 🙂

Pepe
😳😳😳

Kesa Tiho
Glad to see your working on another project. Intrested to see how this will come along, or what it even is.. anyways following with interest 👍

gorby
Thanks Kesa, welcome to the show. 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Good to see you back with another lorry contraption 👍

gorby
Thanks Lukasz. 🙂
The original intention was to do a quick out of the box build...then I saw what was missing and I've sort of got carried away. 🙂

Mr D
Nice model, l remember seeing a video on simulator truck...used to deliver coal.
Nice 👍👍

gorby
Thanks Mr D. 🙂

Felix
Très beau! It's my favourite scheme for the Moth, too.
