Where do you model?

The saucer object under the lamp isn't a Jupiter 2 model. It's a Roomba (robot vacuum cleaner). Very handy for tidying up small snippets and bits that might escape to the floor.

Webdude... Looks like you have yourself a dream setup! I would never even phantom having half the house to myself!

My wife says we still need to negotiate about me turning the garage into a man cave for my various hobbies... So I guess borrowing her hair dryer will sour the deal... Gotta get my own

To be a dream setup it would need both a fully stocked wet bar and a hot tub, neither of which are condusive to paper modelling but a fella can dream.......

"Those who insist upon a tidy desk will never know the joy of finding something thought to be irretrievably lost-unknown"
Don't know where I found the above, but, it works for me!

Bought a 4-bedroom (2464 sq ft total) home with a huge 728 sq ft garage. I live downstairs while working on the three bedrooms upstairs to eventually rent them out.

Storage is anywhere upstairs, the 1:32 scale 10ft long Saturn V is stored in the living room, along with the 1:32 Saturn 1B, 1:12 scale Redstone Mercury.

Downstairs living room is 14 ft wide x 28 ft long. On one wall I have a 6ft long desk with my computer for designing, opposite wall has a desk with my cutting mat for building the smaller models. In the garage was a queen bed sized 5/8" sheet of plywood with 2 x4 supports underneath. This is used to assemble the bigger models.


For storage built two printer stands from a 3/4" sheet of plywood using 1-1/4" wood dowel for the uprights, attached photo shows the use of "banker" boxes to store model supplies, tools and misc..

Sound advice! Used to have one on my desk at work, civil engineering firm. Engineers would always request changes to a drawing the day before a major deadline, and say, That'll be Easy!".

Bought a cheapo "taser" took it completely apart, every once in a while would have the different parts strewn across my work desk, drew up a fake blueprint (wiring diagram) of an easy button Taser.... Serious "Volts" randomly shown at different locations.

Drilled a few holes in the Easy button and installed various parts of the taser; contact probes were cut in half and installed in the top of the push button. Wires were super glued to holes in the sides to make it look like extra wiring was hooked up.

Not one Engineer after that said the Easy word.

My boss liked it so much she offered to buy it when I left the firm. I gave it to her as a present!

Here is my current set up

I am still finding stuff that I had stuffed into a box or three.

Here's a few pictures of my man cave. I'm fortunate to have a whole room in the basement dedicated to nothing but papermodel building.

I am extremely jealous of all the horizontal space I am seeing here. . .Behold my humble closet:



I model in our 'walk-in' closet and share elbow room with my winter shirts, there being no other room at home. Maybe once my 17 year-old moves away to school. . .?

Am taking away tips from the setups I see here. Thanks!
