A Remodeling of the smallest dedicated hobby room around
Posted by Delbert on Monday, April 25, 2011 10:07 PM

Hi again everyone 

The last couple of months we have been doing a bit of remodeling on the apartment, and part of my work was in making my little hobby room better.


Anyways I've had a little time this weekend so  I sat down and updated my workroom pages on my website, I also did a page on my airbrush setup and the story of how I progressed in teaching myself the skill. 

anyways here is the link, and feel free to comment. I know its not the most fancy web site around, but I try to keep it in order.

All About one of the Smallest Dedicated Hobby Rooms on the Web.



Later everyone..

Very cool.  I've seen similiar treatments for a computer "room".  If you've got an under-used closet, this is a great way to corral the clutter.

Nicely done!

Haha, nice. IMO the size doesn't matter as long as it's reasonably ergonomic and that the bench can accommodate the builds.

i hope you don't do 1/32 or 1/12, lol.

 

At the end of the day one's work may be completed but one's education never!

At least you have a modelling room. My modelling space used to be next to the washing machine and the dryer..... And in our new home I do not have any dedicated space. Dead

I like it!  

I am still stuck in the garage.  I just don't have the room inside the house to spread out. I do my building wherever I can indoors but the painting, sanding and such is done out in the garage.  Which is really not that bad.  I have a fairly good setup out there. The problem is the weather.  Humid and hot in the summer and bitter cold in winter.  Very few prime "paint days".

Hey man, any space to work is good space! Looks like you've got yourself well organized and, well, in arms reach of every thing you need! I'm with Borg on this one, I have no dedicated modeling space. Every session its take it all out and when I'm finished its take it all down. Kitchen table makes for a good bench but sometimes set up and clean up equate to more time spent doing that than modeling.

If you think thats small you should have seen my tiny closet in this 3600 sqft home!!!Super Angry I had all my supplies in the garage cause I had no room in there,  barely half your space.  My wife decided to clear out the guest room so I could use it for my hobby/computer/office  room. We went to Ikea and picked out a couple of very nice display cases.Big Smile

Thanks for the comments fellows..

when I started out I did the set up, and put away thing, but then I just out and out claimed the closet as my hobby room.  

Before I got my spray booth I was doing most of my airbrushing in a cardboard box booth outside..   now I got the booth vented out through the dryer duct and does a fair job of keeping the fumes down and the air fresh.

I think it all comes down to what you do with what you have,  I enjoy my little private man cave...  

 

later all
