Sure.

We have an area in our master bedroom, off to the side, that was intended for a desk and like an office area. We've turned it into my model shop.

I have a desk with a computer, and then along the rest of the length of the wall a long table with a glass top/cover where I build. Along the wall above that we have modular shelves installed where I keep the kits and things, and then along the table itself I have a bunch of organizers for parts, paints, glues, putty, tools of all types, etc.

Across the way, we have put in a bunch of shelves between there and the bedroom to display the models once they are finished...but I am running out of room there. Some to the ones my wife deems appropriate are therefore getting honored spots in other parts of the house.

I built models for a few years about 20 years ago, but when we moved and I changed jobs, it went to the side.

Now, since malignant bone cancer surgeries, recovery and rehab, the wife felt it would be a good thing for me to get back into. And she was right, it has been.

Thanks for the description of your "studio". Perhaps some day you can post a photo of the work area and your shelves with completed models adorning them.

Maybe some day, also, you can conduct guided tours through your place like going through a Naval Museum, LOL. I'd pay a million to see your handiwork in the flesh, so to speak. Till then, your pictures will have to do.

Now get back to work!
