Here's mine at the moment. 

Your "Stash" is giving those shelve's a Hernia !

OPTION # 1: Dont buy any more kit's 

OPTION # 2 : Get bigger shelve's ...... Then, you can buy more kit's ..... but , only then .

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Some pics of my cave. The place where I refuse to grow up.  Basements are uncommon where I live due to the high water table, but my old house had one and the previous owner used it as his workshop.  The low ceiling, all the pipes, ducts, conduits overhead, florescent lights, and sharing the room with a 1958 Homart furnace gives the feeling of working in a machine space on a ship, but without the rolling.  Probably why I build ships down here. Although as seen in the photos, I pretty much will build anything.

It’s looks well thought out and organized. Lot’s of inspiration surrounding you too. I just noticed you have a sink in there too! Ha! Awesome!

Yes

 

I wouldn’t say “well” haha. There’s always something better to be done. I‘d like to make a custom wood bench at some point, maybe some better drawers. But it’s the best space I’ve ever had. Tip of the hat to my wife for going along with it!

Alright just revised my work area and turned it into our work area.

And this area was added:

For my 13yo son who is in the process of building his first car. 

Good times ahead!

Checking in from the East Side of Cleveland. Built a house, and one of my requirements was my own hobby space on the first floor.

My sandpaper organizer hung on the wall.

 

You "organize that stuff ???   I need to try that..... instead of just letting it "Pile up" wherever I leave off...

There's sandpaper in this mess.....somewhere....

This is my "New Year's Resolution" .... to find my sandpaper !

Some nice areas!  Mine is kind of small, but considering I started out almost 3 years ago at the dinning room table it's an improvement.

My area is in mine and hubby's bedroom.

Drawer under the paint booth has my airbrushes and a few misc things.

Underneath the booth are some plastic drawers with stretched sprue/left over decals/dremel/acetone and some other junk I need to go through.

Two top drawers in my desk.  Paint/weathering stuff/brushes/scissors/nippers/tape/decal solutions/glue/tweezers, all kinds of stuff.

Two left side drawers.  Spray paint/scratch building stuff/misc stuff I don't use much.

Two right side drawers.  Hobby knives/files/clamping tools/thinner/metalizer paints/rubber gloves

My sandpaper organizer hung on the wall.

Part of the stash in the corner.  Also where I stick the box of the current WIP.

Did you move to Ohio or have you always been there? I'm a little turned around this morning I guess.

 

Been in the Cleveland area my whole life.  I just switch to a suburb with a better school system (and higher taxes!)...

Here's what my space lookes like for the past year at my brother's house. I will be going to Boise for Christmas and will take a pic of my big area there. I hope to be returning for good sometime this next year.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

My new digs.

That's nice. I'm away from home and this pic makes me miss my basement.

My new digs.  It's still a work in progress.

Nice! It's roomy, neat, and it appears organized. I like it. I am trying that sort of thing too. It seems to help me stay focused and motivated. My previous bench was a disaster and I hated to work at it.

My new digs.  It's still a work in progress.  The movers broke my main bench so I'm forced to improvise for now.

My room isn't all complete yet for one I don't have any of the trim up around the windows or doors (It drives my wife crazy so I might just keep it this way a bit longer) I'm also going to be putting up shelfs around the 1st of the year. Here is my bench and some of the stash.

Work bench 1

Here is on the other wall with all my paint and spray booth that I can vent out the window via the piece of plywood with at a dryer vent in it (going to simplify that soon) Work bench 2

Another look at the stash more is in the closet. Work bench 3

Also have my gaming PC in here (I need a better chair) Work bench 4

All these spaces remind me of Morrison's third law. No matter how much space you have you will only have 2 square feet of workspace.

Yep, I sit perched on that chair, holding the work over my lap, and using a space about six inches square in front of me on the bench.  I try to clear more space, but as soon as I clear a spot, something else ends up there.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
