My old and new work bench

When I was eight years old, in my home town, Cinco Saltos in province of Rio Negro in Patagonia, I was a menace for everything in stashes or walks around me.  Quite a problem when you grow in a small town (less than 20000 people)... relatives used to call me "Borromeo"... a child in an Argentinian way like Dennis the menace.

So, my aunt bought me for 8th birthday my first kit... and that was the start for me in this hobby... it was so present in my life that I became an Industrial Designer, so I can design and make my own kits... But at the University of Buenos Aires I tried to make models in reality and in 3D... I burned up.  My loved hobby was almost gone.  In the mean time I moved 3 times, met my wife, got back to Bs As (Buenos Aires) again, and so for...

It’s thanks to ARC that I rediscovered my hobby.  And now that I have a digital camera, if you, folks, permit me, I will show you my old and my new "work bench" which is also were I design, as I’m specialize in packaging and management in my studio (www.tres-dedos.com)

Old things go first... sorry the thick lay of Patagonian dust, but these are true photos of my life... Took me about a day to clean up more de 90 models, and what you see is what it is only in the stashes...

And this is my "new" work bench... this was my apartment in Bs As ( Buenos Aires) where I study Industrial Design... when my wife and I came back to Bs As we renewed the apartment and my old studio too.  In the upper corner at the left you will see a morphologic study model... was a mini submarine! Jajaja!

 

Well folks... that’s all for now.... hope you like seeing an important part of my life.  I would like to hear your comments and thoughts.

Best regards and happy modeling!
