Hobby room (3 Viewers)

Alex thats one great man cave you have there! That makes my space look like a cave!:p I,d also like a closer look at whats in all those cabinets, have you ever tried to take any pictures of them with the flash off on the camera?
 
I rarely use flash in my photos but its the sunlight and room light that causes issues with the glass and mirrors. It looks great in person but its very difficult to photograph.

Alex,

The room looks more like your Dream room. Nice job you've done creating it.

Cool pad Alex! The display unit is fantastic and your work areas are something to aspire to.

Please take a few shots in a couple of days to show us the 'cluttered look'. It will help me feel less guilty about my areas. :eek:
 
Alex

GREAT COLLECTION - I kinda like he way you have them displayed :) I might want to try that myself - instead of always making dioramas.

Thanks for sharing - really looks cool. :cool:

Alex you are a really organized guy, i hope one day be like that...:D

Thanks for sharing your work space...

Rod.
 
Alex,

One word, no two, AWESOME and WANTED. I want my setup someday to be half as classy as yours. I'm glad you mentioned kids; Biggest asset, weakest link when it comes to collections that are fragile.

One tip take your pictures at night on macro with and w/o flash to see if you can eliminate reflections from the windows/ mirrors.

Uh Oh......what on earth are you building now?

A full scale model of the cathedral at Cologne?

The sub pens at Cherbourg?

I bet its the Zoo flax towers!:D:D

Yo Trooper, now thats a room to die for, only one thing missing is a bed lol. A really great display wonderful to see. Just a word on the kids running around, hope you have laminated glass in the cabinets, dont know if you saw my post on this issue. My little Trooper is only 1 year old, a couple of weeks back he slipped and went head first into the glass, lucky I had already thought of this, and the only damage was a bruise on the forehead Thank God. Great to see thanks for sharing this with us.

Bernard,

When my son was a about one and a half, we were setting up the museum, and Brad and I were getting things ready for the Symposium, when my little man Alec took a header and scared the bejesus out of me. Luckily Brad (a more experienced dad) was there to calm me down, I was ready to rush the little guy to the emergency room, when it turned out all he had was a bruise.

Another time, Alec, who loves to run around up there, tripped and hit his face right next to his eye on the feet of the table on which the Saracen Castle diorama sits, giving himself a big black eye. He was fine, but both times I was out of my mind, blaming myself for not preventing him from falling. Now that he is almost 3, and has had the normal amount of bumps and bruises at school, on the playground, and playing with his little cousins and friends, I am finally used to it . . . although when I hear him cry, I still come running.;):rolleyes:

a) Using it for scale purposes and it might be included in the scene.
b) Its a secret. :)

It might take some time to finish. We'll see.
 
Alex:

Always a pleasure to see what your working on!

And your Den/Hobby Room/Man Cave looks terrific even while your working!
 
Home Depot is where I got the 1/2 inch kind but had to go to this hobby/train shop for the thicker kind.

That is a good idea. I get a little panicky when they start playing in my hobby/study room.

Yo Louis lol, know what you mean, I am the same, all the family say I am to protective with him, but that's what Dad's are for, I wont let him go in the Car with his Uncle John who is his Godfather because he is a speedster, starts off at 50 MPH, he see's his bum because I wont let him take him out (Tough). Anyway doesn't matter what you do the little rascal's always manage to get a bruise somewhere, so as long as its only a bruise I am OK with that lol.
