As everyone has at one time or another shared their workshop or home with our fellow VA members, thought I'd allow all to see my (truly) humble abode which consists of my little corner used as a workshop in our equally little one-room apartment.

Making the compass that will be the center piece of the instrument panel. Memo to all: its one of those "wish I knew then moments" but Mr. John Brantley who makes custom decals for us modelers will also gladly make custom decals for instruments for any particular aircraft as well.
