Space issues

[kacitgirl]

Well I now have slightly more space after buying another side table (IKEA). I was going to put shelves up but I will be redecorating shortly and don't see the point in doing that just to take them back down

Looks awesome!

I'd be nervous about those on the window sill. The heat of the summer sun would have me nervous about things getting a little melty!

Need a nice bookcase or some type of shelving unit to display your builds.

I might be able to help, as space is what I took up in college.

@kacitgirl love it! I need to do shelving in my hobby room, partially for stuff on my other table, (which will now double as a work desk and person gaming pc desk, and for models I complete above it. 

So many great builds too!

yes problem is my walls are plasterboard can get away with floating shelves but wall units might be a tad heavy

And if the wall units are mounted on the studs.... no bueno!  The walls come tumbling, falling, the walls come tumbling, falling ... dooooown!!  (Couldn't resist the song lyrics)
