Hi Brian
In my youth, I used to have an air pistol that I used on some of my lesser quality models !!!!! I see you have something a little more effective should you wish to recreate an 88mm round hitting a nice shiny Sherman in your temporary back garden out their in Iraq !!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at all these pics of peoples set up, it occurs to me, it is not about where you build, or what you build... it is the enjoyment of the hobby, building something, somewhere.

Oh my gosh SdAufKla!! When I grow up I want to have a hob, err I mean a factory/warehouse set-up like you have!! 
Do you employ workers to man each station? 
All the kidding aside, nice place!

Ah, Jeff... You know I had to shoo the munchkins out before I took that picture! But don't worry, I feed 'em regular and provide plenty of fresh water...

Yeah, Mike, that is some kind of cool setup!!! Is that post and beam construction!????? What part of SC, my father lives in Murrells Inlet, and a very close friend of mine lives in Beaufort.
Hi Brian! I live up in the piney-woods forests between Columbia and Charlotte, a couple of miles west off of I-77. If you're ever planning to pass through my AOR, let me know. I'll alert the gate guards and make sure you have current challenge & pasword!
Seriously, you're welcome to stop on by if you're ever passing through.
The ceiling is just the exposed rafters and tongue and groove...
Happy modeling, guys!

@ Sal, LOL I should have taken a few pictures of the 5 foot long fold up table I had in my livingroom when my wife went to Florida for a week.... but I like your setup just fine!! I see the coffee pot and the Jager are not far out of reach and that helps any maladies!! Incidentally, is your callsign LTB?? are you in public safety
@Mike, Im sorry I missed your show there.. I try to get over to Ct but this year I had National Guard drill that weekend.
@Jtucker... That is a great idea!!! Where in Maine?? I have camped at Balsam Cove a few tiimes and loved it there!

One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Mine is a work in progress. The reason its all cleaned up is that I'm currently working in Afghanistan. One day I will be able to stay in it longer than a few days.

This is my new work space that I just moved into a few weeks ago Its pretty clean looking as I haven’t had time to let it get cluttered. I still need to work on getting better lighting up. I just inherited the old desk from my parents, it’s been in the family for years.

A VETERAN - Whether active duty or retired is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "Great Britain", for an amount of "up to and including my life". That is HONOUR, and there are way too many people who forget this

Keith, that's a modeller's dream! So much room to store stuff, natural light to the fullest and a big working area. I wish to have such a room one day, too.
By the way, is that a Marder 1A5 in your spray booth? Looking nice from what I can make out in the picture. Love the green camo/desert yellow UTF (Umtarnfarbe).
All you guys have great places to work. Besides actual models, looking at other people's work rooms is the thing I like most im modelling
Here's my little hideout from the 1:1 world - the pictures are pretty old, but much hasn't changed since. My kits are stored in a different place.
Keep the pics coming
Cheers
Do we really need ventilation
