Nacho Z's hobby room

[JerseeJerry55]

I thought I would share some pictures of my hobby room / Earnhardt shrine. When I started back in this hobby I used a card table to build on. I moved to a home-made bench in a bare basement. The bench was next to the washer and dryer and all of the lint that comes with it. There was no heat. I would tack up an old bed spread from the floor joists to keep the lint out and the heat in. I did this for a number of years until I decided to make a dedicated room for my hobby. The room has evolved over the years and I have ran out of room for my goodies. These pictures were taken almost a year ago when I did my yearly cleaning and organizing. I am kind of a neat freak and keep my room pretty organized at all times.

 

Hope you all enjoy the pictures. I absolutely love this room and regret not spending more time in it.

 

This is the view as you open the door. Did you catch the ceiling tiles?

Great looking hobby room!  We are in the process of remodeling our hobby room.  Hope I can find some time to actually build some models when we finish the room!

Do you actually do any work in there? Mine looks a lot more like New Orleans After the hurricane! Only with more dust & empty boxes! Steve

As I stated in my original post, I am a bit of a neat freak.  My little hobby room is about the only place that I have total control of the environment.  No one else really goes in there.  I vowed when I built it that I would keep it clean.  I do not want to have to step over c r a p on the floor to get to my bench nor do I want to waste time looking for a tool that is buried under clutter.  For me, it is just as easy to put a tool or a bottle of paint away as it is to leave it on the bench.  As far as building models, yup, I sure do.
