My model collection is mixed in with my militaria collection, as well as a set of shelves in the same room dedicated to my current favorite builds. There's a spot in the garage for finished, but not displayed, models and shelves full of unfinished and untouched kits throughout the basement. I have a work area in the basement, near my spiked helmets, but usually prefer to be upstairs with my family while I work, so both my kids and I have 'project boards' on which we do our work. The boards are easy to carry, can be set on a table, on the floor or in one's lap. When we get done, we store the boards out of sight.
My personal building tends to 'spread out' around the house with a kit here, box there, little built bits and pieces all over. Once in a while, my wife tells me to clean up my modeling act, but she's pretty darned tolerant of me for the most part.
Compared to some, it's a rather hap-hazzard way of working, but that's the way my life is anyhow, so it doesn't bother me at all.

i got a desk that shares room with the pc and school. I have several reference books in the slots of the desk. all the plastic containers that hold my tools paints, and supplies are on the top shelf of my desk. all my kits are in the closet. there is about 20 up there

I got to the home page, but couldn't figure out where to go to see his modeling area.

As for mine, I hava an odd shapped room in the basement with a desk (a very cluttered desk) in it. I have a metal storage shelf unit alongside the desk and some wooden shelves above it. Sounds like a lot of space, but it's all loaded with models and building materials. One of these days, I'll get around to organizing it all and I'll probably have oodles of room! The closet has a lot of kits stacked up, too.

For numbers, I have probably about 25 1/72 armor kits, aprox 35 1/35 kits, and 1 1/48 kit. Add to that all the ships, si-fi, and wingy things, and I have somewhere over 400 kits in various boxes and on shelves. I'll never get them all built, I'm sure, but hey, they're MINE, mine, all mine!!! Ya-Ha-Ha_Ha!!

Deep breaths, Bill, deep breaths....there. That's better!
