Tankbuster and Epi have uploaded some pictures of their hobby related rooms and spaces. Werner's (tankbuster) room looks more like a hobby store than a residential space, it makes me think of the Killer Rabbit scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

Your telling me. He has more kits than the shop I work at does!!!!!! LOL!!!! Really, the reason why I dont have that many, is because I work at a hobby shop. That is where my collection is or I keep my stash there.

Hadn't seen Pete's room yet, now that's what I call a hobbyROOM!!! Less kits but what a space!!!!!!! Now I'm really jealous!!!! Am I the only "hobbyroom-handicapped" person in here??? I have a single table in a room that I have to share and I have to store the kits in my bedroom.....................

In Werner's defense (?) he picked up a lot of these kits at REALLY good prices. And with the advent of things like eBay I think he will be able to fund his hobby pursuits for quite some time.
I forgot to mention in the original post if anyone wants to send me pics of their hobby areas or workbenches (for inclusion in that gallery album) please do.

No need to defend, Jim. I wasn't attacking. I'm over the shock now... LOL
And I'm glad for him he got the kits at good prices. Wish that would happen to me once in a while though.... Guess I am not that lucky....
And you're right, he could make some really good money on e-Bay. Good thing I don't have a credit card LOL

Pete's workspace is very nice. Not even really cluttered...impressed. Also impressed he can get away with the ' babe' models on top of the desk. He must be single, or have a very understanding wife 
Also, where's your compressor Pete? 
Now Werner, jeeeeeeez. HE must have a VERY understanding wife. I've got to sneak most of my purchases past the 'boss'. Otherwise, everytime I buy myself something new, I have to buy her something new
Actually I'm very jealous of his collection, and even more jealous that he's apparently discovered the secret of immortality. Because he'll have to live forever in order to have enough time to build all of those :-)

Jim, it most be prohibited! I almost had a heart attack!
I do agree w/ Tread, he must know the secret for immortality, or he is thinking about his retirement, I mean, have you imagined how much money he can earn at eBay ?
Congratulations both, EPI and Tankbuster, pretty sharp places, just the dream for any modellers, good luck and keep building (otherwise you can't build them all! :-) )
I unfortunately can't send you photos of my workplace (since it's on kitchen's table ), and my models are stocked on my daughters bedroom (on the upper cabinets :-) ), I hope to bring you my workplace as soon as I finish my new home (still on the blueprints! ) maybe 2 years from now.....
Cheers!

As a kid I entered a contest where the grand prize was to get 15 min and unlimited number of shopping carts in my favorite hobby shop. I had laid up a strategy and I felt I could lance the store in that time. If I had won I'm sure I would have had a site like Werner's!! Man I wish I won, it looks awesome!!!
Hats off to you both!! Glad you have it, wish I did too!!

Hmmm...too many kits and not enough time!! Eeeh gads!! What a collection Werner! I thought it quite funny how the workbench is tucked away in a tiny corner of the room. LOL The kits are taking over.
Very nice indeed though.
Your's too Epi! Nice room for building.
Come to think of it we have a spare bedroom, but for some reason my wife thought it more appropiate for my to set-up shop in the living room. I quess she wants to keep an eye on me.LOL At least it's near the PC, stereo, and TV, and of course her! :-)

Paulo & Mario - You and me both as that's one of the reasons I am not building much of anything right now. That and I need to go out and buy all new paints and supplies. Someday I will have space again.

Thanks guys for you compliments, but My room compares nothing to Tanks. Unfortunatley, I am divorced, so I can get away with the girlie models. I have a Badger 80-1 or 180 compressor. Its very small 8 to 10 inches in length, so it sits under the desk.
By the way, if you guys are wondering, the weapons on the wall are not real. They are those new 1/1 scale air soft weapons that look, feel and work like the real things. It sure does scar alot of poeple though.

Whew!...glad you cleared up the arsenal on the wall there Epi, I was beginning to think that maybe we'd discovered the hiding place of an IRA sleeper agent or something....just kiddin'
Actually, I'm well aware of the 1:1 replica pieces. One of my (ongoing) pet projects is creating 1:1 sci-fi weaponry. I bought a Thompson sub-machine gun replica off of EBay and am in the process of butchering it and combining it with both an Italian riot shotgun and a scratchbuilt top of an M-60 to build an all steel (almost) replica of the M-41.
Yeah, you're right, they do scare the beejesus out of people. I've taken some of my 1:1 replicas to the local Star Con and had to give up the weapon to the local police to prove it was non-functional.

Hey Tread,
No sleeper agent here. I knew someone was wondering about those things on the wall.
Hey I would like to see some pics of your sci-fi weapons, do you have any, if so, post in the sci-fi album. The M-41 is the pulse rifle , right. Ive been wanting to get the pulse rifle, but it EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The AR-15 is actually a kit I got at our local show about 4 years ago. It works and brekas down like the real thing. It was missing a couple of parts, but I replaced them with the real thing from a local gun shop.

Yeah Epi that's the Pulse Rifle from the film ALIENS. I've actually got 2 other versions that are mostly resin. 1 crap, 1 polished crap I putz around with different kinds of sci-fi armament just to feed the need. (put down my real weapon back in '73 and have never picked one up since...personal thing) but still dabble vicariously with it thru the sci-fi ' thing'.
I've got stuff from many different films, doppelganger from Blade Runner, Phaser rifle from
' Generations', Klingon disrupter, Space 1999 stun gun (even tho it had a 'kill' setting), etc, etc, etc. Just a bunch of 'keep me out of trouble' projects in one form of completion or the other.
Anyway,end of my ' babble'

Something simple that I put together over the weekend. As you can see, I'm just getting into this hobby.

Thing I like about this workspace is that there is a window on the right, to allow for natural light, and that this area is situated right under the oven fan, so that it nicely vents the fumes away from me. Before this, I would always have to set everything up on the porch when I wanted to work on my models, that alone took me around 10-20 minutes. Now I can just focus on building my models whenever I have a spare moment.

We actually moved bedroom to the spare bedroom so our bedroom is the spare bedroom and the walk-in-closet is now my model room. I still carry things into the coffee table to work at in the evenings. I still havent used the model room after 3 months for modelling in. But at least I know everything there is safe and my 14 month old daughter is safe from everything in there. I must send in some pics soon.

Holy Cow!!!!! Werner, whens the SALE gonna be???? I want in on that one! I'm going to show that photo to my wife so that the 50+ kits I have aren't that bad of a deal.
Pete, Nice set up! Too bad I'm losing my 8' x 3' workbench and garage for a hobby room. I'll be LUCKY to get a corner of the laundry room when I get to Sicily. The only difference between you and me EPI, is mine are REAL! Yup, it does scare the heck out of folks that don't know me.

Thanks for the compliment. The kitchen is the downstairs kitchen... there are two suites in the house, and the top one is the one that is used. Downstairs kitchen is pretty much abondoned, so I took it over.
