Alright class:
To begin with. Each of us has our own needs. We primarily express these needs in our creativity. The bench was built in 1999. After 20 plus years of working on makeshift tables and benches. I needed a place where I could be available to my family yet out of the way of general traffic. NO ambling pets (other than the occassional foray by my sons red slider-turtles and Guinea-pigs.) Its higher than 36 inches tall as I spend hours working on kits I can actually use the top for supporting my elbows to keep me from getting tired too quickly. See the future topic Healthy Modeling 202 (this class will be overseen by a fellow modeler and Chiropractor.)
'Balance' is the key word here as was discussed in a previous class. Half of my desk is used for building the other does double duty as the area for research materials and paying bills. It forces me to clear my desk to do one or the other. At 50kb the photo won't show the finer details but you get the general idea. (and 50kb is generously plenty, thanks to the all high,lord imperial pooh-bah, our venerated webmaster.)
'Balance' is also the key word for building a model. As mentioned previously in the last class (Modeling Psychology 201) the text for our current class comes from the venerated ancient script 'How to Build Dioramas' by Shepicus Paynius. To build or create an eye-catching piece it doesn't have to be a diorama. But looking at a piece as if it we're 'doing its own thing' (original quote from the Monterey Pop Festival 1966.) one sees the plausible idea and allows one to let the fantasy take over. (No drug induced stimuli needed here.) Thats why family and friends say 'neat' when they view your work but fellow modelers stand entranced at a wood veneered fuselage
