discussion My Man cave

[Guest]

Laurie, my stash is smaller than yours !It comprises two 1/72 kits which were gifted to me by Polux (Pink Panther) and which will get built and a 1/32nd Tamiya P-51 which I've been looking at for literally years.

Three kits...that's it!

Cheers

Steve

Steve I am under whelmed .

The shelves, the bendy ones, look very familiar. Why I have the same bend. A B & Q flat pack by chance ?

I recently moved my business out of my home as I need to expand and take on staff.

That is a cute idea Barry. The jutting out section with the airbrush station. No moving about. At my age I like the idea.

Well I might as well join in and show mine. I tend to keep it tidier than this usually but since I have been doing my latest build it seems to have run away a bitView attachment 92858

Terry those look like architectural drawing drawers from a bygone age. I spent half of my early life putting drawings away into the drawers just like that.

Laurie it is indeed a plan chest I was given some years ago. It is in need of some repair as the handles and draw bottoms are slowly parting company with the rest of the unit.

These are a few years old but the space remains the same, only the kit stash has changed...

Main modelling desk. It's down in the basement but has a fair amount of daylight, as well as a nice cosy gas fire. Cupboards either side of the desk house various tools, aftermarket, spares boxes etc.

Close up of the desk itself. It's not a big surface area, but then again it wouldn't matter how big it was as I always end up working in a 6" square area, right on the edge of the desk, surrounded by stuff.

Cupboards in the background contain some stash (mostly 72nd and armour kits) and magazines (and books, obviously).

Stash (part 1).

Painting and airbrushing is done in the utility room. Since this was taken I've installed a spray booth and the paints have been moved into a cupboard.

Looking up above the spray table is The Stash (part 2), for bigger boxes/kits. There's also a Stash (part 3) elsewhere in the house.

That's just gotta be fake Mike! No modeller in history has ever had a modelling space with empty shelves in it!

PS Don't you have a display cabinet for all those incredible builds you've shown us?

 

[Gern]

Here's mine:

Goodness you lot are so organised and settled in. My space is pretty much like Mike's 'utility room', in a little side workshop under the house in the garage. I'll get a picture later for what it's worth, but nothing fancy in there I assure you.

 

[Guest]

I can`t live with you guys , space is at a minimum for me but happy with what I`ve got , its only a small area but its my area .

I've only just finished getting the room sorted out after having it built. I now need to start to import the modelling gear and then finally I can start to continue to work on some modelling again.

Rather feeling like the poor relation after seeing all the other members workspace here is mine.in my defence I moved up into the loft space of the house after being kicked off the dinning room table at sort notice.This was going to be a short term fix but now nearly two years later I have suspended all activity up there as it's now to cold for comfort even with an electric heater.From the 23rd of nov I have a week off work and will have the house to myself I will be spending my free time wisely by making this space a nicer warmer place to be will post back on here and in my thread I started last night.what you see in the pics are some older models from when I returned to the hobby and some newer ones all my latest are kept downstairs once completed but once the revamp is complete I will throw out some of the older stuff making room for the most recentView attachment 91984

[Guest]

We've had a similar 'Man-cave' thread before, but here's my work space as of today.

Surprisingly, it's tidier than I imagined. Usually, there's stuff everywhere.
