That is one awesome room! Do you know how many square feet this room has? I'm in the process of building a garage and I'm also going to include a 25x24 room for my hobbies. I would love to see more shots of this and others to get some ideas to put in my room.

Until my daughter was born I had her whole bedroom. Now I'm relegated to one of the dining room tables. It beats my last setup in Iraq. Not surprizingly, I didn't have a heck of a lot of time to build models anyway. The only one I finished was a ruch job of a HMMWV for an Iraqi Recce Officer as a gift from the team. They let me have a few hours to finish that one. Actually had to use C4 to mask the cammo, and used spray cans in photo.

C4 in place of poster putty? You masked a model with high explosives? THAT'S CLASSIC!
One for the story books for sure man.

Well, it's what I had onhand at the time. We had our house rigged to blow -- every single rafter in the place had 1 1/4 pounds of C4 on each side, all connected to a ring main, so that if we were ever overrun, at least we were taking them with us. That is, until the Engineer Sgt. realized a well placed enemy mortar round might set it off. Sooo, we had all this extra C4 lying around....

Those of you who have my SOF HMMWV CD and wondered what those images were, (I forgot to remove a few) now you know.

I was actually laughing! Maybe we should put this in the "office supplies for modeling" thread?

Here is a couple of pictures of my work area. It isn't very large, but so far it works and is seprate from the house. Plus I have all of the middle of the building to let stuff dry.
