JustBill Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Back in the summer we had a hurricane come up the east coast. After that went through it rained for a good solid week non stop. So much water that my waterproofing system installed in the basement couldn't keep up with discarding the rain water and we got flooded. My model room is in the basement. Luckily I didn't loose anything model wise from the water coming in the house. However I did have to go around 16inches up from the floor and cut out the dry wall and replace. Along with insulation and moldings. My daughters and My bed room is in the basement as well so I'm having to rebuild those rooms as well. When I went to remove the drywall I found mold growing and had to deal with that as well. Its been a process to say the least. So here's my room as it sits this morning....

Dr. Cranky Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Looking good, nice and roomy. I can already see the model kits stacking up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustBill Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It had been a few months since I was able to build do to all this. I was withdrawing form styrene so bad I made a make shift table on the other side of the basement to build a curb side on. My modeling supplies are packed away with the construction going on but I got out the bare essentials just to feed the need to build. I'm working on a 49 Mercury and should have it done this weekend. Here it sits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdkingjay Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Here's my submission. I built the shelf unit from a bunch of old shelves that were in this basement when I bought the house. Behind is my Kevin Harvick diecast collection with a sprinkling of customs, both purchased and built. The current projects are of course, the big General Lee and whatever Christmas decorations that my wife brings down for repair. The 1/25th Charger in the background is primarily for ref with the General, but next to it is an S-10 Blazer that will replicate the one currently driven by my son. Thought I'd also share my Mass State cruiser case. I built all of them, except for the 1/43rds and a few of the 1/24ths are conversions.

Lunajammer Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 My old computer model bench is almost identical to yours Oldskool. It's a little confining but it forces you to stay organized doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Forces me to limit ongoing projects at one time also,LOL! My biggest problem is DUST...this place might be a COMPLETELY remodeled (literally everything but the walls themselves brand new before we bought it) house,but it's MUCH dustier than the old place...welcome to city living town houses I suppose,LOL! I picked that up shortly after moving here at a local Goodwill for cheap. I could be better organised with it's layout (for eg: I could have supplies stashed in that cabinet rather than 6-8 kits...),but it's serving it's new purpose well so far Edited December 11, 2011 by Olskoolrodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Trying to finish my '61 Ranchero. I have lowered both the front and rear, added custom wheels and tires from Revell's '67 Chevelle kit. It received a two-tone paint job of grape and silver. The front and rear bumpers are painted silver. The interior is black and there is a resin hood from Drag City Casting. It has the engine from the "'32 Phantom Vicky kit. A few more details and it will be done!
