Your stash

That is my dream room! LOL!!

My modelling area is a desk and my stash, well I don't have one, I build as I go....

Thanks Anthony! Even just a pic of where you build. Who knows, we may see some good ideas as to how someone sets up their Dremel, or airbrush, or how they store tools, paint or whatever.

These are a little out of date, since I've added a few kits to the stash, but here they are:

The Kit Collection


Where the Magic Happens

Sweet! You definately have better organization skills than I do!

I finally have a space big enough to sort out all my kits. I'm about 65-75% complete and just need to get some more shelf units. The silver metal ones you see in the photos were only $3.50 a piece at Wal-Mart. I've been searching for some more of them at local stores.

Now that is what I call a stash, Rob!

Is it true that the more space you have for kits, the more kits you get until they fill the available space? Isn't that one of Newton's Laws? Or is it Murphy?

I have to admit, the pic of my workbench was taken just after a desperately needed clean-up. It's a lot more cluttered right now.

Whoa! Man, that is awesome!

No, I call that a hobby shop waiting to happen

Rob...seek help!

Here's my painting/storage area:





The kits represent about 3/4 of my comparatively small stash; the others are still at my parents house.

The pins placed in the top of the cabinet doors help secure a piece of shelf, which serves as a work area while painting (I thought I had a picture with the shelf in place, but I can't find it). The compressor can (or at least used to ) fit on the bottom shelf, but I've gotten lazy, so now it remains as shown. Building occurs on my dining table/desk (not shown).

Apolgies to the dial-ups for their large size, but the post title should have been a clue that (lots of big) pictures were going to be present.

Edit - well, I shrunk them down. Geocities apparently put me in a time-out for exceeding that limit; pictures will hopefully re-appear soon.

"Apolgies to the dial-ups for their large size, but the post title should have been a clue that (lots of big) pictures were going to be present."

You might want to size them down. You went past your Geocities allocated data transfer.

Rob, do you plan on actually building all those kits? You might just find a second hobby, woodworking, and make yourself some nice new display cases.

I'll try to some pictures tonight. My room is a mess right now and my modeling desk is broken beyond repair. I just have to spruce it up a bit. I used to build on a card table, but my cat jumped on it and somehow managed to break a leg. That's what I get for getting the cheap one. I currently have only 20 models in my stash, 2 of them I'm not probably going to build. My spray booth is my barn. Of course I don't do much spray work. I prefer to paint by hand.

Well, this is the umpteenth time for this, but here goes... again... these shots are about a year, year and a half old...














Despite the calendar date, these next two shots were taken around the same time as the rest...






Here's the summer bench...






Here's the winter bench... although it may become a permanent thing...




Here's the mini-bench...




However, every once in a while I like to build on the kitchen table...




Here's the guardian of the shop...




Here's the reason I need a shop guardian...




Here's the view out the shop window...




Here are some of my most used modeling implements...








Some folks don a respirator while spraying, to avoid ingesting the fumes. I go a step further...




Despite the fact that I have a sizable reference library, I go to as many airshows as I can to grab some detail shots...



THE END


Fade to Black...

Damm, me eyes!! those shorts almost fit

Was it the cat or the table that ended up with a broken leg?

Blackwolf, I loved your pictures. I'm going to have to get myself one of those chain saws; unfortunately firecrackers are illegal here in Arizona.

Here is my little "Honda" stash

Macio

The program I put together, 'Your Stash' went very well last night. About five club members took the time to share with the club. We were able to see a personal glimpse into this great hobby of ours. A very big ThankYou to everyone here who took the time to do this.

Sincerely

Henry

I need to get out more! [:0]

Rob are going to build all those?

Here's my stash minus 3-4 kits that are missing:



And here is me chillin at the bench:

this question is directed to rob g and black wolf
you both have collections that rival the cost of a new car
what about insurance on the collections

some of these collections are better than small lhs - no offence to any small lhs owners. No photo's of my stash, but about 130ish unfinished models - mainly 350th ships and heaps upon heaps of a/c 48ers.

oh yeah . . . with the stash, keep up the good work!
