MikeH Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 After 5 years of living in our new house, we finally finished our basement. It was a long three months without building, but worth every minute of wait. Here's my new completed man-cave. ;D ;D ;D What's everyone else's space look like? Close ups of the wall hanging's courtesy of George Trosley (CARtoon's and general auto mag artist he even personalized them to me). The closet full of kits Looking in the door to my fridge, geeetars, and shelves In the door looking at the paint booth exhausted to the outside for year-round warm painting!
Mark Aldrich Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Mike, Excellent Work!!! Nice Man Cave. You might want to repost this down in the OPEN DISCUSSION forum. There is a thread that was started about work benches. Mark
TimHortman Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Nice space! Thanks for posting some photos. I'm still bouncing from room to room & don't have a totally dedicated modeling space just yet.
ghodges Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 I envy all of you guys who model "indoors"....I still build in my garage, whish is just becoming tolerable again as summer slowly starts to subside here in FL. Nice digs guys! GIL
nursemandie Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Well, you guys can have your man caves, but I have a ladies lair. Steve and I each have our own space. I have 2 unfinished kitchen cabinets and a 5 foot section of countertop for the workbench, and a padded bar stool for my seat. When I learn how to post pics I show ya. Mandie
Mark Aldrich Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Mandie, Looking forward to it! Mark
dcaponeII Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 For all of you wanting to build indoors..the trick is as your kids finish college you quickly change their bedrooms into other things before they can move back in. We now have an exercise room and my hobby workshop!!!
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 who's in the cage?????????????
Mark Aldrich Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Donald, That didn't work for us. Gone and came back with grand daughter. Meant moving it all out to the Garage again. Not fun.
ghodges Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Yep! Mark hit the nail on the head....they keep coming back in spite of changing the door locks..... GIL
dcaponeII Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 I listened carefully to what Nancy Reagan always told us...JUST SAY NO!! It's worked for me so far.
slodogg62 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Heres mine. and heres what it used to look like
66Foxtrot Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Wow...you guys have work spaces nicer than my living room!! Here's where I hide the bodies....
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 But James..............there's something sorta MOZART about yours :)
ghodges Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 THANK GOD! I'm not the only one who tests his airbrush on the side of the work bench..... This is my little slice of "heaven" in the garage, though it more aptly feels like "hell" in July and August The A-7 and Halberstadt CL-II have been replaced now by the 1/32 T-28 and the Has. 1/48 P-38J Lightning. And it's not quite so neat looking most of the time.....Cheers! GIL
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 It does my Cold Black Heart good to see tha WINDSOCK sitting there!!!!
ghodges Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Got plenty more of those too....... You NEED then when you build those old Aurora and K&B kits! GIL
elarson Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 When we were house hunting and checking out this house, I couldn't believe my eyes when I wandered into the huge work shop area! Icing on the cake for what turned out to be our new home. Eric
ghodges Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Veeeery interesting.....with the exception of the folding chair in the first set of pics, and variations in the colors and styles of padding; we're all using the same castered 5-spoke leg swivel chair w/arm rests......Yep! Walmart had a sale! GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Veeeery interesting.....with the exception of the folding chair in the first set of pics, and variations in the colors and styles of padding; we're all using the same castered 5-spoke leg swivel chair w/arm rests......Yep! Walmart had a sale! GIL Hey, I got mine for $25.00 at a Salvation Army Thrift Store!

Walmart had a sale! GIL Sorry Gil. Some of us are more utilitarian. Not sure if I could model from a comfortable chair (not that I can model well from the stool). Here is my basic stool and simple bench - two kitchen cabinets and a piece of countertop.
ghodges Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Hey, whatever works, and it's MUCh more comfortable than if you turn the stool upside down...... What astounds me is how clean your floor is! I could eat off that thing (and have eaten off of worse)! SB
