Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who models in the dining room! I figured we never eat in there so why not use that wasted space for something important? Just the other day I took over the master bedroom for my up and coming Early Tiger I build. Now I'm scouting out a spot for the Elehant/Ferdinand build. The "Empress wants me in the garage but it's full of unbuilt models. There's still a couple of rooms left in this house that I think I could make into a nice hobby room, we'll just have to find someplace else to sleep. Modelling on borrowed time if I keep this up. Semper Fi, mike

Yeah, They grabbed an F-104 pilot if I remember. I haven't seen that episode in ages. Hmmmm....What was it called? Great Sci-Fi models Swanny! I sure hope you join one of our builds down in the Sci-Fi section. Wink [;)]

Hey Woody, do you remember that episode of the original Star Trek where they entered the Earth's Atmosphere in the 1960's? I also did a few Star Wars builds such as the Speeder Bike (thats in the library), A modified and interior lighted walker

Looks killer in the dark, and a Crusher Joe unit. If you look closely behind the chair there is Han Solo's Millenium Falcon with detailed interior. For the armor guys this is my Tiger 1and a Bug Eye Sprite

Thats the 1/48 Bandia kit with detailed interior. I went even beyond the kit and sratch built a lot of stuff inside and the entire top lifts off for display.
And then theres the cars, I used to drive a Baby Vet when I was younger so had to model that particular vehicle

and also have a fondness for the classic cars so there are a few of them lurking around like this little 1/48 job

and some figures, lord are there some figures. In the college days I was one of the core AD&D people in Michigan - people came from all over the N.E. to play at the club tournaments we held and I painted figures as prizes - there were literally hundreds that I had done, they graced Rider Hobby shop shelves all over central Michigan


My two boys are big into the wargaming now and their friends are always bringing me select figures to paint for them. Now ya got me going down memory lane .... Aahhhh....

Looks good Swanny. If I ever get my dungeon cleaned up enough to be presentable I'll post some pics. We do seem to have similar chairs. Nothing like comfort for the old buttocks while modeling.

An envious workspace, Swanny. Wink [;)] Say is that a starship lurking in the rafters?

Hi Gip,
There is a Tiger 1, an M13 w/quad 50s and a Sd. Kfz 251/1 Panzertruppe hiding in there also. I've been know to build a couple of targets in my time.
