    New man cave

    It’s been quite some time since I built a model, owning a model shop killed it has a hobby, that’s why I started fishing but I’m going to get in to it again, we are having some work done in the house, new flooring, ceiling, decorating etc and I’ve been upgraded to the biggest spare room, I’ve still got some more hobby zone modules to build and find the boxes with all my modelling stuff in, but I’ve made a start

    John, it's great that you are getting back into it, and your man cave is looking very good, albeit a bit too neat at this stage, although I'm sure that will not last once you get cracking.

    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

        Very cool John. I get the impression that the forum came before the shop? Just some of the things that have been said in various posts.. is that right?

                    So you're building a Spitfire and getting a beer delivery whilst doing it? Or has my dyslexia played up again? lol

                      A few weeks ago, my local newspaper had a column by a psychologist about why you shouldn’t turn your hobby into your career. Sounds like you could have been one of the examples from it

                            Cool John. Seems like there's an IKEA for cave dwellings as they seem to look familiar in design...nice.
                            So cracking of knuckle joints and stretching to get limbs ready for the return building exercise.

                            Cheers,

                              Looks an excellent space john , plenty of room to fill up with assorted crap until theres just an A4 size building space on the big cutting mat ! I know you’ve been away from the bench for a long time but I think you're using the wrong glue :smiling5:
                              Looking forward to seeing the beer delivery mk IX , ive got that in the stash too , might spur me in to get mine started .cheers tony
