A quieter room for my hobby

A quieter room for my hobby

Sep 28, 2022

One of things holding me back on the Warspite build was the Spring heat and unexpected traffic noise in the front room, which I had intended to use as a bright sunlit Hobby Room. It just didn’t work.

There are no trees yet on the property line to the road, so the noise of every tractor and bogan in a ute comes bouncing in off the concrete car park. In time that will be covered with trees, a hedge and a 6 foot fence, but for now proved a real discouragement to enjoying my hobby, plus a big problem when recording audio for videos.

After seting up my painting booth and paint racks in the spare bedroom, I began to realise that it might be a better choice for a quieter hobby area, with trees outside and a gentle breeze through the window. I’d only found out after moving in the front room window was welded shut! So no fresh air or vent for the spray booth.

I had shot the last Workbench and New Kits in the spare bedroom/ paint booth area, and that worked well. So now I have moved my standup modelling desk in here as well, and this I feel will be a much nicer location for the hobby room in the new house.
