Tojo,
That is AMAZING. I can only begin to imagine how many kits you can store there! Pristine, wide open, unused storage space! Sweetness. Maybe I should ship all my kits over there. You can have as many as you want. [:P]
I’m with you Real G. Tojo has an unique situation he has all the room he wants. Most of us have no space.
Toshi and Ezra,
You are always welcome but you have to teach me some modeling skills.
of course it’s a Redskins helmet is there any other team. Hail to the Redskins. If you look at my pic of my stash you can see my folded up Redskins beach rug.

Ancient history,but its all i have lately [:'(]
Tempest,
Yes I did notice that. Hail to the Redskins! Hopefully we can get this train back on the tracks. Win, lose, name change, and chaos in the organization I’m sticking with them.
Tojo
Yes I remember that day well. I was in the one end zone with my parents, uncle, and grandfather. Jack Squirek intercepted the pass for a touchdown right before halftime and my bevolved Skins were done. Marcus Allen ruined my childhood. Oddly enough, we also went to the superdome for Super Bowl XV Oakland 27 Philadelphia 10.
Very cool TJ
Up until 5 years ago i was modelling downstairs in the dining room, which was a bit of a pain because of lack of space and it was a walk through to the kitchen. But when my eldest step daughter went to University, i was evicted up to what was now a spare bedroom. Not that i was going to complain. But we had to keep the bed in there alonbg with a wardrobe for her to use when she came home for a break from Uni. She left Uni last year after 4 years and moved back home while she was looking for a graduate job and could get a place of her own. This finally happened last month when she got a job and her own place near Nottingham. So, i have spent the last few weeks getting out the bed and furniture and getting ready to finishing off the shelveing on the wall space thats now become availiable. So this is what it like now i have lads more space.
I do need to make somthing to pout my laptop on, as i used to have it on the bed.
The small cabinet under the TV is where my 35th vehicle AM is kept. The 2 boxes hold the 72nd aircraft stuff. This was kept in the draw under the bed, so got to find somthing to keep that in.
And as we live in a small village (around 500 people) and my room is at the back of the house, i do have a rather nice view.
And the other part of my modelling world is the shed. This is wheere i kep the stash, mostly in boxes, and where i do my spray painting and build the bases.
This is a most impressive Man Cave! You’ve got everything organized down to a “T”. The “Star Wars Storm Trouper” is a great addition and I bet a great conversational piece! May I add that the view out of your room is beautiful. Thank you so very much for sharing your Man Cave as well as the read and reply.
Your friend’s, Toshi & Ezra
Thanks Tosh. I guess that must be the soldier in me, everything has to have its place. The Mrs got me the trooper a few years back for a birthday.
Hi Toshi,
I do admire that you have a window to work by. These are photos of my “cave” today, which BTW I have not left for the last 14 days. I tested Covid postive a week and a half ago and am locked down until Monday. Don’t worry, I had nothing more than a runny nose and a slight sinus headache. I had to move my 3D workstation from work into my cave and have been working from home, which is a two bladed sword, for now I am spending ten to fourteen hours down here on work and none on hobbies. I have not been able to play any music either due to a bad case of tendenitus in my right elbow. But I’m glad I came here and after seeing what everyone is doing, am taking time off and doing some modeling.
Peace,
Scott
Your set up is very organized and well thought out. Yes, the window is always a pleasure. I keep it open in spring and fall due to the cooler weather. It gets closed especially during the very hot summer months and of course in the winter.
I wish you the quickest healing to your catching Covid19. Being quarentined is just a terrible situation to be in. Stay strong and get healthy soon!
Your friend’s, Toshi & Ezra
This is one of the most impressive mancaves I have ever seen, Scott. It’s very sad to hear that you had the virus but you are not alone, I was also tested positive a week ago… I have locked myself in my real estate in Spain and keeping myself busy with the kits from my stash. Luckily, I have collected enough of them throughout the years…
Thank you Toshi and Barba for the supportive responses. It has been nice to put away work and concnetrate on my models this week. Its great therapy. I haven’t felt better and only have a few days left to go then I have to go back out into the world.
Hope you both continue with good health and spirits.
Scott
There are some amazing workspaces here, but the ones that impress me most are those of you working from very small spaces and kitchen tables etc. Its good to have lots of space, but clearly available space has no connection to quality.
I am very lucky. I have a wonderfully supportive wife and lots of space. I only wish that my models were as good as those produced by folks working from corner spaces and kitchen tables! Your space may be small Toshi, but its clearly prolific in terms of both quantity and quality.
I am fortunate enough to have a dedicated room. It is the size of a two car garage with lots of natural light and amazing views. As I’m also a serious collector of militaria, models and militaria have to share the same space.
This is a photo of my work area. It is an old 1930’s desk with incredibly deep drawers as I’ve tried to show.
This photo shows some of my Australian and New Zealand military reference books.
Another shot of my work area.
Part of the stash.
Some more references and militaria.
Some more references, militaria and general chaos. I was ssorting out some magazines at the time. Along the back wall I have two rows of shelves which hold mostly modeling magazines including Airfix, Scale modelling, Military modelling, Scale Modeler, Military Modeler, amongst others. Some of my Airfix magazines go back to the Sixties.
