I thought I would post my picture here instead of the 1/16 Tiger 1 Build. This way, the thread doesn’t get too far off subject and others can post their pics if they want (would be fun to see what you have)
I know we have seen pictures from others with whole rooms filled. Here is my modest (but growing) collection [;)] The only 2 not in the closet are my Dragon Morser Karl and Dragon Leopold. The wife said she needed room too so, they are on a different shelf.
guys, i’m gonna print out these pix so that when my mom starts talking about how many unbuilt kits i’ve got, i can show her what the real deal is ! makes me glad i’m doing 1/72 and 1/76… i have more room for the boxes of unbuilt stuff as well as finished pieces. my only question is, where do u folks put ur models once they’re finished ? i’m stalling on my 1/35 Walker Bulldog 'cause i’ll have to build a new shelf just for it and the 1/35 BRDM-3 i’m working on…my closet and my corner of the basement are filling up with stacks of armor. maybe we all need a 12 step program …[;)]

This was posted a while back on ww2modelmaker, so these pics are farily old…but here is my model room and kits. I have done a few since but have accumulated some more in it’s place.
We don’t need a 12 step program frostygirl, maybe a 12 step shelving unit [:D]
Actually, if you have the room, buy a cheap bookcase at Walmart or somewhere for $30-$40 and that makes a good display unit. [:D]
My $5 to my name has precluded me from stocking up, I rely on the generosity of family.
My “closet” consists of a pair of PzIV Ausf. H’s an in progress Leopold, and soon, a 1/16 KT.
Nice collections guys. My collection is growing too fast since you guys showed me the light of purchasing over the internet. [:p] The only thing I’m doing wrong is storing them in my hobby room instead of the closet. If I stored them in the closet, then my wife wouldn’t be able to buy any more shoes and have a place to put them. [}:)]

Yeah Build, that room has plenty of light, which helps me out a ton. I have 2 over head flourescent lights along with 2 desklamps on a swivel for figures and detail work. The paintrack is homemade, but believe me…I am far from a wood worker. I basically consolidated all my skills I learned from Hometime and put it into making that rack [:D]
LOL Build, I was trying to say that I can’t build with wood and I pulled that shelf out of my butt so to speak. Just needed a neater way to have the paint stored.
