kapam Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Wow! That would have to be one of the most impressive work bench, unbuilt storage and man caves I've ever seen! Must show your pics to my missus (especially the stash shelves) as proof to her that the obsession isn't only mine. 😜 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfgred1 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Really nice set up and for sure the envy of many of us... That entrance door, that is one helluva of a door. The only thing if I may add, is the look through... You won't be able to hide from the CEO if she is looking for you... Perhaps you left some space behind the stash?... Is the bar set up part of the house?. Hope you have many, many, but many enjoyable hours in the new home. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Wow! Beautiful work room and so neatly organized too! And that is a most impressive stash as well! As the world's slowest model builder, my stash never seems to work down; at my glacial pace of completion, by the time I've finished another one, I've bought two for the pile. I thought retirement might help me get more modeling done but I guess I was wrong. Hell, twenty years ago, my son, who is now 38, told me I would never live long enough to finish all those kits. Yeah, that thought really cheered me up...and of course, he was and still is correct. 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyg352 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I've just expanded my building area to something about 1/10 that size! (& I still have to airbrush in the garage) That's very organised, nice one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first build in the new workroom will be an F-4C Phantom, for a Vietnam group build my local chapter is doing. The kit has raised panel lines, so I’ve been looking at 0.2mm mechanical pencils to try out your technique, executed so perfectly in your recent Shangri-la Mustang build.

wookieefood Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Great setup, Bill. You should get in touch with the Mad City Modelers. We just moved from Madison in 2019. My favorite haunt is the Madison Hobby Stop on Mineral Point Road. If you run into Bill (he works there Tues and Saturdays) tell him Mark says hi. I hope that I'll run into you at a local show sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
