Very nice Bobby. But I have to agree with Ed you don't have enough room to finish all those kits so I'd be happy to take some of them off your hands. Just send me a pm and I'll e-mail you my address. =)) =)) =))
Later, Bill H.
I like this place.

Look at all those yellow boxes! When will the build threads begin? And post lots of pictures 'cause we love pictures.

I'm jealous.

Thanks, Bobby! I've never met Jaime in person, but have been trying to get him to confiscate a closet
in his house for a dedicated workbench. Now I'm not the only take-over husband! :D :D

I did the same thing and it works out great. However, I found the need for more shelves as the following
pictures show:

I first found a cheap set of shelves at Big Lots and put them right outside the closet workbench:

Then decided I needed more shelves and found another just like the first at a local yard sale.
This one fits behind the room entry door:

I think 3 is the maximum attachments, so I'll post one picture in the next post!

Now you need to get building, Bobby! As long as we are playing "I'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours", here's mine :))
Nevermind the non-color correction. I don't have my nifty Nikon program on this stinky netbook.

How come everyone builds an ample workbench to spread out their models on but only actually builds models in a one square foot area down in the left hand corner? Inquiring minds...
