Hobby rooms, mancaves... 2012 archive

[scratchmod]

This is a topic you will find on almost any forum, so why not here. Show your work (hobby) place, hobby room, man cave.....what ever you prefer to call it.

I'll get a pic up of mine once I straighten up a bit. I moved thing around because I'm expecting my new lighting set up to arrive.

But lets see yours ..

ok, dug these up from last year around summer time, I think.

That's my rust factory....

Most of the kits seen on the shelves have been built, are spares boxes and some have been moved to the shed. Also the paint rack over the bench is now full of AK products. I also added another rack over the one on the wall..............waaaaay too many painting and weathering products.
The shelf above the photo area has a few shelf queens on it that I want to tackle this year.

Lets see your place where you build and paint..

very neat stuff fellas, very nice set up I must say. And so clean, I've seen a lot of messy man caves on the net but yours are very neat!

Hope to be able to take some of mine when we have moved into the house in March

These are all giving me plenty of ideas for my set-up as soon as it happens - great caves there and I'm gonna try and pinch the best bits of each for mine!!!!

Tony - yer could've cropped the pic so yer wall-mounted chest wigs weren't on view!!!!

[Mence]

Very nice setups guys!

I build mine in the conservatory but I'm about to lose that as we are extending the kitchen.
When that happens it could well spell the end of modelling for me

[DickyF]

I did post these in another thread but here we go

Anyway a quick 270 view. I have made no effort to tidy up this is a warts 'n all view after a days building, and it is normally a bit tidier im hoping funds will allow the purchase of a couple of shallow draw filing cabinets to store some tools in
These shots are a little outdated now as I have raised the secondary desk tidied up and several of the commissions have gone to their new homes, but you get the idea
Not ion these shots but there is a lathe and pillar drill in the room next door

Main high bench


Secondary lower bench



Laser and computer

I live in an old 2 story farm house that was built in 1889. Not much room to create a man cave in. I just set this work area up a couple of months ago. This area used to be a screened in porch that I enclosed a while back. I inherited the desk from my parents. I still need to work on lighting the work area up. I’m having a hard time seeing what I’m working on.

This is just part of my stash. I have stuff stuffed all over the place in boxes, LOL

I’m not going to show my Air Brush area as the bench there needs a real serious cleaning. But it’s in the basement. It’s also kind of dirty down there as the foundation walls are all field stone and it stays kind of damp down there.

[spud]

alright Time for my room,

Its clean because i do this every night, Noting worse than a messy "work" area.


I try keep my paint rack neat and tidy also


and this is my stash.



The Williams is 1/12 scale, I bought it in 1995 i think. the recept is still on the back of the box and it cost me £119 then

And My pc this is were i pester Chris S. and its also for playing games, Note the mess.

[AndyArgent]

Awsome Caves.

[scratchmod]

Some very cool mane caves fellas. I like looking at others caves to get ideas on how to make mine better.
Spud, that is too clean bro. I see you you have a nice collection of AK and valejo piants. Love the rack too.

CS, very cool work bench. Now I can see why you can get so many builds done.

[spud]

Lol ya rob I have a lot of them. I'm trying to figure out my next rack that is needed
