    Workstation

    I tend to work in chaos. I just build them on flat desk with some narrow shelves behind. I tidy it up every so often when it becomes too cluttered. Haven't done anything for weeks though, have lost interest to a great extent. Will probably start again when the weather improves. Don't like it when it gets dark at 4pm, but the situation is improving now with sunset at 4.36 pm. Bob

    I just went off and found the "Sqirlz Water Reflections" free app. This is my first attempt using a photo of my Preussen model taken from a low angle. I will now experiment with ripples etc, but this is fantastic, and I am very grateful to you for bringing it to our attention. Bob

    bottles

    I've watched a few different videos. Sounds like CLR will work. They key is soaking. The longer you soak the easier it is. One day is minimum. Three days to a week seems to work better. I'll have to try this next time I run into one of those bottles.

    Just something cool I found thought I would share. I remember seeing some one in another forum using a photo app when taking pictures of his ship that made it look like it was floating. So I dug around and found a water reflection app. Here's my results. Something to try out for fun.

    Workstation

    All, I've been following Chasseur's Preussen build both on this forum and on MSW. He has built himself a superb workstation, much like a jewler's bench. I've been working out of a selection of toolboxes and annexing whatever bits of the kitchen or dining room tables I could, but still had to move every thing when finished. So, inspired by Chasseur, I set about a small portable workstation. It's made from MDF, with 3 or 4 coats of MDF sealer. The two drawers are plastic desk drawer tidies, as are the small ones on the top shelf. A desktop pen holder and a bit of wood drilled for the files. I wonder how long it will be until I outgrow it. best Alan

    This is not a photomontage. My photo of Paris in 2015. Artur
