I have yet to do add any major shelf space to my hobby room since I just bought the house in October. Nevertheless, this definitely suits me just fine compared to the last place I lived in.

Since I live alone, I can turn one of the two bedrooms into a model room, so space is definitely my advantage! Plus I have a third floor to boot......

Now if I ever got married and had kids, all bets are off! :shock:

This is my area. It is a separate concrete shack in the back yard. About 12 x 18 ft.

My dream was to to have a checker floor and my own "brickyard" That is my tribute to the greatest of them all: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The closet in the back holds my small stash. Cars to the left, aircraft to the right.

This is my definition of an ORGANIZED workbench.

Here are pics of our hobby room so far. As you can see, we're being overrun with models and I will undoubtedly have to thin my collection pretty soon in order to make room for more kits.

These pics were actually taken about a year ago, so there is actually more kits stacked in this room. At least you have a general idea of what I'm working with here...

I recently redid my basement model room with slatwall panels. It gives lots of options for storage and display shelves. Although I still have more stuff than there is room for.

Here is a shot of my desk area

This is a shot of the opposite wall

This is my "new" paint booth. It was a TV/VCR stand that I salvaged from our fire hall training room. Its on wheels and the 2 downdraft fans that I installed vent through the windows when in use.
