With all of the amenities you will have in your model shop, being made to sleep in the "dog house" shouldn't be too bad of a thing!

Hi Drifter, 

I was looking back at this post as I'm very curious to see how your model shop turned out, inside and out.

I'd say that looks like a little bit of heaven you have there, Jeff.

Hello Joe,

I am getting there....I was scheduled to retire this past December, but I was asked to stick around for one more project. It should be complete by May 2020. I have also been busy finishing up the total home remodel I started last year. I plan on finishing my shop as soon as I finish this work project. I will post progress photos once I start back on it. Thank you for checking back in.

Jeff

Same here just took a break from replacing my sons bedroom door frame. We had a new kitchen fitted before Christmas , that led to painting all the ceilings including bedrooms.The kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway and landing walls and skirtings. Didn't see that   " alt="" />coming. Should add have had a load of help from my wife.

Smart move. An escape room to escape those now that you are retired chores.

Uh, Yup Yup. The honey-do list might get smaller now that you've done all that work, but, it's a never ending list. I've been retired since 1998 and there is still a list on the fridge every morning. Heaven help me if I don't get at least one item off the list each week.

Hello everyone,

Boy its been a while since I've been in here. I finally completed my last project and I am RETIRED now lol. I finally got to the interior of my modeling shop and have a few pictures for you. I surely hope all of you have been well. 

General area for just tooling around.

My modeling corner

The storage bins will be utilized for extra parts, diorama supplies, decals...etc.

The only thing left is the flooring and baseboards. The black totes in the photos are full of paints, kits, and general modeling stuff that I still need to unpack. 

Thank you for looking, and its great to be finally back and ready to model! LOL

Jeff

Very nice workroom! Toast Like the view out the window. Looks like a very relaxing and comfortable area to work in. Well planned and executed.

WOW!  Now that is a real "Man Cave".  Love the natural wood, natural lighting from the window, the flat screen tv, and the multiple work areas. Is this space located in a spare room or possibly in an attic?  All that you need to do now is to add a mini fridge, a microwave, and switch the Seahawks banner to a Pittsburg Steelers banner.  Congrats on this truly wonderful work space.

Mate, I have joined since you started on this adventure and I've got to say that it is simply stunning. Even just looking at photos I can feel the vibes all the way down here in Oz. I love the light, the timber colour and the location. Congratulations, it may have taken a while, but it has paid off big time. Incidentally, is that a bar I see in photo two???? If so I'll be there in a fortnight!

Wow! Beautiful workshop. That is awesome. Love the wood work and views. I can imagine being held up and cozy in there working on a kit while old man winter is chugging away outside. Congrats on an incredible man cave.

Jeff you do beautiful Work - those modeling skills are really paying off! Big Smile

Very inspireing, that is exactly what I need, my resin 3D printer is bannished to the cramped unheatable tool shead and our basement is full of half done model projects and supplies.

if only the back yard was bigger... time to move I guess.
