Thanks guys. Keep it comming.

On another note. Living on this ISLAND. There is NO hobby/model shop here. Clossest shop is on OAHU. So alot of my stuff comes from the internet. We have a Walmart and a Kmart, but they hardly have anything NEW.

There is a lot of neat and creative ideas. I love the bridge display, and chains! That is what I need to keep the kids away! Here is my space. Before you ask, my wife has bad allergies, so the only way I could bring them in the house was to take them out of the original box (it was amazing how much dust and cat hair had collected in them over 30 years!) and put them into what you see. The new ones go into the closet in thier respective boxes now. I made the showcase out of those finished shelves you get at Lowes or Home Depot.

Here is my freshly made paint booth. Seeing as how I work for carbon company, I installed a carbon filter so that it does not need to be vented outside. It works pretty well. It depends on the paint. I am still glad it is the garage.

But I'll show you the exotics kits I have. I build a lot of different styles, but have a yen for exotics (no pun). I'm running out of room to store the kits and have lost interest in a building several of them, so may likely be "thinning the herd". The Ferraris are pretty much staying although I might let go of a couple of extras. Still making plans.

Next time maybe the Chevies or the Street Rods unbuilts. Eventually I'll do the workbench when its a little more organized.

Anyway, here's my exotics collection (the unbuilts):
