Hah! Reading on the throne is what got me thru high school ... and well bout every book i'v ever read. Guess it's the only place life slows down enough to read!

Throne observation: Since getting back into modeling I noticed one thing while on the throne. Dragon models werent around when I used to build (or atleast not at any LHS) and Tamiya, Revell, Testers and such. I find I like Tamiya instruction sheets better! Dragons are fine but Tamiya had atleast half a page of info about the vehicle! Hah think this is enough toilet talk for me!

Okay...have you been peeking through my bathroom windows?? I might have browse through a kit now and than but have not reach a point where I want to set up a table and work from the throne room. Hmmmm..... maybe I can put those one of those TV dinner tables to a more practical use.

This is just too good......Laugh [(-D] Laugh [(-D].

Yann, that describes me pretty well, too. I'm the only Male in the house and sometimes I think of my "Reading Room" as my "Fortress Solitude" (Superman's house). Sometimes it seems that that's the only place I can get any peace and quiet. I have been known to "sit" and read the latest FSM cover to cover. The wife can't seem to understand why I spend so much time in there.

It's nice to know I'm not alone, either.

I always have a modelling magazines to read but I never fondle my kit's there.

I do like to take a look at a kit from the bottom of the stash before going to sleep. It give's me peaceful thougths of modelling and nice dreams about going to the LHS.

This is too funny. I have on occasion read directions or perhaps a model magazine.

I will admit that on occasion when I get a kit in the mail I will unwrap it and check out the parts and instructions while taking care of business.Approve [^]

wing_nut,

That problem can also be caused by using the lid of the water tank as a bookshelf to store your model magazines, catalogs, and how-to books. 

 

Nice to know that if I'm wierd I have lots of good company.

Yes, GUILTY, I'm a water closet dry fit builder and freely admit it.

Face it, at Christmas, with a house full of people, and I just got a new model, where else can a guy foldle over his latest box of pride in total isolation and without interruption.

Great topic! Cool [8D]

My wife bought a small bookshelf/magazine rack for my throne room where I always keep some good reference materials and my latest model magazines.  I also upgraded the throne in that room when we remodeled our house... it's a nice big one for a tall 6'2" guy like me.  It's funny, my wife's feet can't touch the ground when she uses it, she's only 5' tall.  Laugh [(-D]  The only thing I need now is maybe a spotlight or reading lamp in there as it's a small, dark cozy little space.  Whistling [:-^]

I always feel like a little kid sitting on training potty when I use a regular throne.  Blush [:I]

Man talk about personal questions.Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

I will take magazines and instructions. Actually a number of FSM issues have been stuck there for a while. They all kinda of make a route through there before going into storage. But I have never taken parts or sprues. I think I might be afraid of droping a part in. If it goes in there...I am not going after it. So its best to keep the part out of the bathroom in my opinion.

Only magazines, although the modeling area is right next to a bathroom.

You know how bad I am about doing that? If I buy a kit, and bring it in to the office with me to keep from leaving it in the hot car- I'll pull the instructions out take them to the bathroom with me. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

I haven't yet walked in there with a sprue or two in my pocket, but I'm sure that day is approaching...
