Cobrahistorian Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Ok you Rotorheads, lets see your workshops! Here's my new digs... Had a couple updates to it, including new shelves and racks for my paints on the workbench. Putting this space together is almost as much fun as building a model!

marine4 ever Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 looks a whole lot more comfy than my cave! all my rotor kits are above the fridge behind me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Still a long way to mine being finished.... Part of the stash missing a few boxes.....a number are on the way. Oh and Jon, regarding your army challenge. Edited July 21, 2008 by Tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Par429 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hey- My corner of the basement, such as it is. However, with the kids off to college this year, I may have to expand. I definitely need more display space. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LemonJello Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Well, it's not nearly in the same class as some of the places shown here, but its where I try to build once in a while. The bench: The stash: Edited July 21, 2008 by LemonJello Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderGrunt Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 JON I Like all you helo guys But Love those EAGLES UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) JONI Like all you helo guys But Love those EAGLES UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, in my misguided youth I started in Air Force ROTC and wanted to be an F-15 jock. Funny thing is, had I done that and stayed in, I'd probably be flying with Waco right now, and I'd have 2 years on him... Odd the twists and turns that life takes sometimes. Still, I love my F-15s. The Mudhen that's to the left side of the cabinet is probably my best jet model yet. She really came out fantastically well.

hawkwrench Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Jon,Nice Man cave you got there!What scale is the cat?Sorry no man cave pics from me as my man cave is temporarily the kitchen island until my son moves out of his room and I move it in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I guess i have a Man "window." As you can see I've been pushed into a limited space by much more important stuff like Dora the Explorer toys. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt_S Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Looks good - just closed on a house Monday, has a room over the garage that will make a good "mancave" :lol: Matt :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hueycrew Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm just sitting here waiting for Dolly to take out our power( she is about 30 miles west my mancave). Thought I would try and give the world the one and only view before the roof is ripped off. All my stash is in my closet, hence the lack kits in the room. Yes that is a fridge under my computer. Revell Huey on the bench. Group build thing I hope? Enjoy, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Baker Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Been too busy to add to this till just now. Just took a pic of my table area, that I finally got set up. Moved into this apartment back in April, but it took till Mid/Late June to get things in here organized just enough to have room for the tables. And a pic of my stash, taken a couple weeks after moving in. Got the stash up as quickly as possible, in an effort to get rid of the 8 cardboard boxes they were all packed in.

Firecaptain Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Always felt that the basement was THE place to build models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ya know, for a guy thats been working on helos for almost 16 years now, & have been a modeler since the late 70's, I've only now beging to get interested in helo model kits with any real gusto. I've had that Hase SH-3 for almost 6 years. I've got a CH-53E & CH-46E, both Academy, both 1/48th, on the way. I guess whats new & interesting to me is taking me down this path. I've never really wanted either the CH-46 or CH-53 kits till recently, since I see both types all the time now. Who knows, if there ever is a decent 1/48th CH-47D produced, I just might take the plunge... Marine4Ever, did you do those shelves yourself? One of the projects I'm planning on doing when I get home in about three weeks is to put shelving just like that in my man-cave (which is actually a man-closet). Where did you get them, was it kind of pricey, & how deep are those shelves that you can put what looks to be a 1/48th EA-6B kit on them? Chris Ish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder_bass Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 WOW thats a nice one you have there John! Lots of space! Ray, I like your seat! Awesome idea! LOL here is my little cave. There is no place for stash so the whole pile is in garage... PC desk/research source - probably the most important part of the cave workbench (LAVIII in progress:-)) less important things are in between and here is my helper! every now and then he reminds me to move the chear away from the bench after I am done for the day.... apperantly its a lot of fun to dig out the interior from model of Huey LOL Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Awesome setup Andy. But, then again, I figured you'd have the deluxe Cave. saw that beautiful Huey sitting on your glassed in shelf. you better take care of that one! I wouldn't have thought ferrets and models would mix very well! I wouldn't let my hen, Rachel, anywhere near my models. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-1 Nut Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 ..... if there ever is a decent 1/48th CH-47D produced, I just might take the plunge... I must say that I'd like a 1/35 MH-47G....or at least a 1/35 Chinook with the big tanks on it...and a good resin upgrade set to make it a nice MH-47G. I know it is a tall order, but I'd finally be able to complete a 1/35 160th build.......one can only dream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richuk Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 OK guys, I'm really jealous now. All I've got is a manshelf which has to be unpacked and then put away again when I've finished. Consequently I end up not building much as by the time I'm in from a 12 hour shift at work the last thing I feel like doing is getting everything down off the shelf and then putting it away again. Maybe I should move my two sons together in the one room and use the spare as a cave...I'll run that one past the mrs and get back to you!!! Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Ish Chris - you seem to have a... um... thing for tails. Is this a fetish or just a rather impressive coincidental confluence of builds hitting the same spot at the same time?

Ishthe47guy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Oh yeah, I love me some... tail... Actually, those are the results of some paint experimentation, mostly different gloss coats over flat paints, gloss coats then flat coats, etc . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Here is where I (slowly) build my models. Here is some of the stash from my attic. First up are the single engine helis, gunships and Hueys in 1/72. Medium and heavy helicopters in 1/72. Resin, short-run kits and Russian helis in 1/72. My small collection of larger scale H-6/ MD500 kits. A few other larger scale kits. My stash of Irish Air Corps-related fixed wing types and helis in 1/72. LD.

rotorwash Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Loach Driver, At least now I know how you got your handle! Man the Nichimo would about pay for the rest of em combined. That Mutza Loach book rocks, don't you think? I'm reading it right now and it is awesome. Any other good OH-6 refs you would recommend? Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
