discussion My Man cave

Card table in crawl space

Awe Jim... My shed is only 6x10 so not massive...and I have to build and store my models in there...hence some are given away or sold.

Very cool space and all your own! I see you are in to dioramas; they are very well done and bring the models more to life. That is something I would like to do but, I don't think I have the talent for it.

I agree with Jim, dios are not hard to do, it is all in the planning, dry fit your model-move it around until you get it where it looks good and then build around it.

Sounds about right.

Such clean working areas ! I don't think some of you are working hard enough

Most of my muck and bits from models are all over the floor, if I can't reach them it becomes a wreck...which most do.

6000' would be. Little cold haha, I haven't seen -15 for a while but 2010. I think it was -19 every morning for a week and the work commute was brutal.


Everyone's caves are looking good, I need to get a paint rack sorted out for sure having seen all of the setups on here. Wish my shed was bigger though

 

[Guest]

Yep!


Two days ago this room was a respectable “man cave”.....now is an absolutely chaos!!!


I'm changing it


I have the intention to paint and varnish the soil, add new furniture, new lights,....


I will need about two weeks sure, so....all this period of time my modelling will be stopped

A blank canvass I'm looking forward to see how this turns out Polux

 

[Ian M]

A quick sand down and a wash, and out with the spray gun and a big bucket of white paint and you'll be done by Monday


That is a nice space you have there.

Oh I thought why the hell not seeing as people putting their " man caves" on here and I probably never got the first man cave thread. My wife has helped me acheive and create my cave supporting me in my hobby ( however I do get you got too many models!!!!) I sneak them in though and get the ideas bug going big time when I do my research into a particular aircraft, tank etc. my room is the spare room, which also has turned into a little museum. I have a couple of pieces that my wife bought me an unusual timepiece ( 1 of original I think ) and a ornament made in Africa by a German POW ( ww2)


Anyways I hope you like the pics View attachment 107155

Full of interest there Robert.


I think by the look of it that you need a larger work area.

Only the more needed part Richard, the soil

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
