Great topic. I liked it when finescale ran the pictures of peoples' workshops in scale talk a few issues back. I've started turning the spare bedroom of my new townhouse into the modeling room. At last! After 15 years of trying to work in a cramped corner of a basement, with most of my kits, parts and supplies stashed wherever I could find room for them all over the house. I've got a good-sized walk-in(ish) closet to store all my unbuilt kits (more than 10, fewer than 100--I think

), plenty of light, and no musty basement-y smell for a change.
The down-side is that the utility sink for cleaning brushes, etc., is down on the first floor, and I still don't have a decent place to use the airbrush I need to get

The basement has no ventilation to the outside and up here in the Great North the garage is too cold from now until, oh, May or so. One of those hobby spray booths would be great but I'm kinda strapped for $$$ right now.
One thing I'm thinking about: aside fromt he bed and a nightstand, I don't have much furniture in the master bedroom. It's a nice big room, maybe I should use IT for the workshop and sleep in the small bedroom?.......

I knew someone who lived in a small apartment and was thinking about converting his bedroom closet into his work area. It was one of those closets that would take up a good length of the wall, with folding doors and all. The idea was it could be somewhat permanent, but yet could be closed up when he wasn't using it.
