Hi Laurie
I agree with you in some ways I do need a bigger work area but the desk pic was taken before I cleared it up a bit ( trying to work on hetzer dio and figs so a bit cluttered with paints and palettes, I also had delivery of Vallejo paints etc so my work space got smaller and smaller.To the right of station is my paints drawers/ multi coloured tower and need to store my new paints in there. normally like to keep a clean work desk. I wish I could retire and focus more on the modelling and get a bigger space


Robert

As I took up model making after retiring I often wonder how those working find the time to do what they do. I use my time as much as possible but there is never enough.


I use turntables on my desk top placing them just in arms length. when you need something just swivel the turn table. Keeps everything neat and you know where everything is kept.

I wonder that too. But somehow it just happens. Probably when I should be completing house renovations...

My wife bought it for my birthday last year and it took a lot of PVA glue to build, took a lot of dremmal sanding and the fit was good. I gave it a oak varnish to finish it and the MDF accepted two coats. On a post note we went to the real Pegasus bridge in 2013 and it was awesome to see what they have done there.

Ok! This is an update on my man cave.....


I polished the soil, and added two coats of paint and a final cot of gloss varnish....


The next step is polish the walls and add some colour (not like the soil/very much softer). And the last step the furniture....then, will remain only build models again

I like that, it looks a fantastic room, why waste the opportunity to make it work for you

[Guest]

Yep! I will return to the hobby soon


Finally the room is painted. I like the colour.....it give more light than before!

I modified the furniture as well, and now I have all the paints perfectly disposed

I am moving my Man Cave from using the bureau in the spare room to the Children’s play house in the garden ( 8ft by 8ft I think), came about as my wife wanted to repaint the walls in the conservatory so we took everything out cleaned it from top to bottom and painted the walls, during which she suggested that instead of setting up my spray booth, compressor and paint table, I would be better if I used the kids play house ( they didn’t use it once last year – getting a bit old for it now plus my wife wants to start using the conservatory to sit in and not be intoxicated by model paint fumes) so I jumped at the chance. Need to get some power and lighting in there (good friend is an electrician so mates rates ;-) I hope), tidy out all the ELC toys and stuff and bobs your uncle. Also got one of the conservatory comfy chairs in their as well. Might get some polystyrene for the walls to warm it up a bit, little beer fridge – ok going too far now (maybe ;-) )

 

[Ian M]

That looks great Polux. So glad that you kept the wood and not paint it.


Now get and build something.

 

[Guest]

The changes are always good Steve!!


I hope to see some photos and updates from this project


Good luck with the moving!

Do not be silly Steve. A man needs these things and should have these things. It is our right and should be respected by all women.


Just a thought do not go to little on the fridge you would not want to restrict your happy hours. Would you.

Right, the man cave is finally finished off! It took the whole family to do it, but the AB booth is finally connected to the wall outlet and all is well.
The hose and some shots of the 'Man-cave' No leaks...yeah!


Si

If there's no leaks Si, how come absolutely everything has turned to rust?

I've not got my own room unfortunately. We have got a spare bedroom but my wife has got that for her card making room. Luckily we have got a 40 foot lounge with a dining table at one end so I have got my stuff on that. Only just got back into model making after quite a few years off so not got that much stuff collected together.......YET!!!

Start bringing your stuff into the spare bedroom little by little then start working in there, then bring in the ash tray some beers and fart it up a bit and VIOLA! Your own private man cave!
