 Came across this thread a few days ago and decided to post a pic or two or three, of my little corner of the modeling world.

 I have this room between the family room and back porch that at one time served as a bar room with the previous owner. We kept it as such and even remodeled the "bar". It looked great, but was only used once in a while when we had some kind of party or get together.

 About four years ago, I got back to the hobby, and used the bartop as my workspace. This went on 'till a year ago when we purchased a new computer. I figured to use the space of this room more effectively. So was born the family craft/computer/homework/modelling room.

 Started out with just the desk , which I built from scrap pieces of lumber in my workshop/garage. I've just updated my corner with the bulletin board, book shelves, an extra shelf unit next to the desk.

 Is it my dream work space ? No, not yet, maybe never . But it's comfy, and it works. It continues to be refined. The "I could put ????? in here, or ?????? over there". One day I'll have an air brush booth, plus other refinements. Right now, this is just great.

Hey Dubau and daddy, those are cool spaces, very neat.  I really like the blue walls Dubau.  Mine is a basement hideaway.  Nowhere near as presentable to the public but it works and I don't have to worry about spilled paint and dropped parts are usually easy to find, again and again.

 

 

As I said, it's in the basement, so it's cool all year, and it's with the model supply, so it's very relaxing to be in and work.  So far it's working fine

I have a very small folding table. I think its for when you eat in front of the TV. But I just started, so I dont have any paints or brushes yet. Right now Im putting my Dad's old chevy truck together.

Bud,

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
