Some of the photos might not show up, you can read it here and here.

These are three of mine:

Athearn flat car modified and with CNR decals.

Tichi flat car with CNR decals.

I don't know if this is a Stewart or Bowser kit.

So my wife and I recently purchased a new home, and with this new house comes a new opportunity to redo a work bench for modeling. I model in large scale (1/29) so things take up a bunch of space, so I want to make this new work bench useful.

What are some must haves that I'm missing? I do a lot of scratch building and Kit bashing.

Here's what I can think of.
1. Outlets. The more the better. I'm thinking of adding a dedicated 30 amp fuse just for workshop stuff.
2. Room to place power tools (mini table as, drill press etc).
3 paint storage racks

Back in 1977 I was visiting my grandparents in Denver (grandad worked for the D&RGW) and attended the NMRA convention held there that year. I paid a visit to Caboose Hobbies and bought a handheld motor tool, the Handee Grinder. I remember trying to decide between a Dremel and a Handee, but I can't remember why I chose the Handee.
