Here is my Man Cave. Still a work in progress but here is how it looks right now. Big window for lots of natural light and ventilation. Spray booth can vent right out the window. Very handy!

Notice the big giant computer monitor and steering wheel setup. I race in an online Nascar racing league. I race against guys from all around the world. Mostly in the US but there are a couple from places like Australia. Thats my Sunday night fun.

Great workspace Devon! That big window is a must! Lots of light!

I've already posted my work space.
I build in the living room on a big table with a cabinet full of paint and other stuff, but as I need to expand my space (badly) I have kinda confiscated the computer room too

We only use this room for printing out stuff, for we do most stuff on our laptop.
I badly needed a room with light and a window for my airbrushing, so I can ventilate and hang the hose out of the window.
Also I can use this room to store my paint tray and some more stuff. I will use this room for my YouTube vids too.
I'm not building in this room, just airbrushing and do my research.

The two sport prizes are from my shooting career..

Crappy hanged wallpaper... He, I'm a modeller, not a decorator....

One wall is covered with rally shields. Those are from my wife's rally career.
She was a navigator in National and European car rally's. I was a Rally Marshall at the time, and that's how we met each other.

So now we got a nice extra room!
And this one is clean too Coen!

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 2:26 pm

Nice wallpaper though.
And Devon... is that monitor big enough buddy... haha.

Those are some really nice workshops, nice to see that I'm not the only one with an eh ..... somewhat cluttered bench

Here is mine

no spare room in the house for a real mancave, so an old PC cabinet was converted too a modeling area.

Grtz,

GJ

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 3:33 pm

Now that's clever bud!
I wish that I thought of that years ago when i first got back in the hobby! I had just the thing too.
I would have spared myself tonnes of grief.
Great idea dude!!!

You can't beat a mancave

Lego · Post by **Lego** » Sat Mar 29, 2014 2:41 pm

The EU will I'm sure have a directive banning such signs soon and mancave's will be a thing of the past. We will all have to go to speek easy's

At least one third of all modellers will have to be female by 2025 or it will be banned he he.

Love that idea modelling in that press, in-genius.

Yes the hobby will be outlawed and we will have shady men in shabby raincoats surreptitiously whispering 'Psst! mate, want to score a Dragon kit? I have also got some Tamiya if that's to heavy for ya. Go on just one Stug won't hurt!'

Actually I think we might already be half way there with the lads at Value Kits!

NAMBiohazard · Post by **NAMBiohazard** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 9:57 pm

I've been trying to hold out on this till I could clean it..........but that will never happen

So without further ado........HERE'S MY MESS OF A WORKING AREA

Construction of the a second story for the MAN CAVE, on top of the garage, is still in the drawing phase

Its not even close to tidy but I get my models build.

PS.. My spiders are camera shy that stay with me in the mess

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 11:35 pm

Now that's a proper man cave... Look at that mess... it even has a gun and a spear!!!!

Charliedontsurf · Post by **Charliedontsurf** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 3:10 am

Hey All,

Not much to look at but it's home. Kinda small but it forces me to keep it clean. No paint area as that has to be done out in the garage.

You can see my first Armor model in 25+ years. Its a DML Stug III Ausf B. and its a "booger bear" and I do not recommend this kit for a new modeler/ returning modeler but it's from 1994 so I guess that's what I get.

Cheers!

rsrdevon · Post by **rsrdevon** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 4:15 am

lots of band-aids there? many stabbings with the hobby knife? lol

Charliedontsurf · Post by **Charliedontsurf** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 12:42 am

RSDevon,

Ha Ha

, no band-aids in there. Just some old band-aid tins for storing bits of sand paper. A modeler is thrifty!

Cheers! Charliedontsurf

rsrdevon · Post by **rsrdevon** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 2:04 am

Here are some shelves im working on building for in the cave. Ill post a pic once they are done and up in the wall.

Stonkmer · Post by **Stonkmer** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 8:34 pm

Here's my area...
It was in a bit of a mess, so I've sorted it out a wee bit and built a table that extends up to A0 size for RC Modeling/Repairs (or a 1:35 Dora!!! Hehe)...
Now I have a bit of space I can sort out my tools and start back modelling!! 1st being the SU-33 Egg Plane..
;O)

The Start:

The End(ish):

rsrdevon · Post by **rsrdevon** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 11:08 pm

Got my shelves built and put up now. And as you can see. I have my daughters Pink VW Bug drying there on my desk. My sons M1A1 and his new Grave Digger monster truck are up on my shelves along with my chally 2. Should get some color on her next weekend.

impatientTundra · Post by **impatientTundra** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 11:29 pm

Thats a very neat work bench

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 5:02 am

Holy crap Stonkmer! Talk about extreme make over!
Nice job bud.
Great shelves Devon. It's far too neat in both your caves..., shame on you
Hahaha.
