Ok. So after a 4 day weekend and many small bumps and bruises I have acheived about 90% of my original vision but im 100% happy with the end result.

It started with this

And finished with

The steps inbetween were also documented in part.

First the wifes computer desk was broken down and her stuff moved out the the dining are (that was never used for dining)

Then the old modelling corner and desk were removed

The couch became a dumping ground/transition point

Desk setup and raised to a better ergonomic height, and it will also now take shelves etc underneath.

My computer desk was dismantled and space cleared for desk #2

The desks before and after 'lifting'

Random shot of the old stash while i had the space to get it in frame and before the shelves at the bottom are removed

Its all coming together, well kinda

Old modelling desk is back as a computer desk. Race seat fits perfectly in the corner (unless you are over 6 foot)

Airbrushing area setup. Storage underneath for reference materal, spare paint, rattle cans etc. Its looking cleaner at last

What I use to store my commonly used tools. Its designed for making ice cubes that will slip into the neck of water bottles.

Some people have asked about my budget paint shaker, better known as an electric carving knife with the lid from a Tamiya rattle can taped on, other paints just drop in and can be held in place with 1 finger. I do recommend grinding back the teeth for obvious safety reasons.

I have also fitted a cheap extractor fan in front of my work area to try and draw away paint and glue fumes since ill be closer to the subjects in the new setup.

Fits perfectly. The remote powers the display cabinet, extractor fan on the desk and the extra inline extractor ive fitted to the spray booth for extra 'suck'.
