Very creative! But you almost have to upack to fondle something! A model kit, that is! 🙂

Very interesting to see that you stuffed everything with kits and aftermarket. I think we all do the same!;) And i´m a bit jealous about your KingTiger w Porsche turret... What kind of tank is there on your bench? Nice to have an idea how your average day looks like;)

The kit on the bench is my Merkava III. The mighty Peacemaker, well, it's stored behind the B-29, under the PBY-4 Catalina, all under the magic sofa.

Hi Urban, good use of space! The vacuum-cleaner close to the models looks very dangerous, as long as you let your girlfriend use it.... 😉 It seems you're not fixed to one scale. Lucky guy. Some many choices of models out there... 🙂
So far I could manage it to keep all together in one room (except for some big boxes in the cellar...). Have a look!

The pix show´s the time of my very first beginnings, after the break in modelling.

Thx, Frank! But normally it does´nt look so clean... especially not my actual workbench!

Here is my workbench:

As far as the stash goes, just piles of kits inside some some old clothes cabinets here and there. Locked, of course, so wifey can't peek inside. 🙂

Hi Holger, I know what you mean... Once a while I've got to clean the bench to find out which model I'm actually building, otherwise ... T-34 wheels on a Sd.Kfz. 251... 🙂
Hi Bill, it looks like you won a lot of contests. Have you finished the BAC Lightning now?
8 March 2012, 19:02
![](/profiles/img/10105-s.jpg)
Hi Frank, yes the Lightning is finished. You can see it at the end of the pictures in my photo gallery. Also, for a little highe resolution, it's here:

The award plaques on the wall are all from the 1980s. The ones that I've won since then are in a box somewhere...

Hi Holger, really it's not a mess. I know exactly where everything is supposed to be... 🙂
Aghis, yeah that picture of Mike's gun is cool. He never did tell us what it's for. I'm assuming it's a model...

Thanks mate! I'd like to build all my treasures but when will I find the time for it?

I think it would be cool to use kits instead of wallpaper - what do you guys think?

I just kept looking at these boxes...............hmmmmmmmmmmmm yum yum yum. Anyway, do you all remember the cartoonist called WREN? In air international back in the 70s, 80s and 90s. I am going to put some it on my gallery. Let us laugh a bit.
An egyptian was learning to fly and the instructor got a stroke while they were up above so he called the control tower and the reply came: give me your height and position. He replied: I am 1m80cm and i am sitting up front!!!!!!

Please do so Sherif as it sounds funny but I'm not familiar with WREN.

There seems to be a surge of show off your stash post now so here's mine for those who haven't seen it before. No new photos but I probably should take new ones considerin' that it as grown considerably since I took these photos n' find myself at a critical level now.

It sure is, I don't have room for more kits but have that stopped me from gettin' more?

Album info
Or how you store a fairly large stash in a small apartment. Well, you could say that my apartment and my man cave is the one n' the same considerin' that my girlfriend is away workin' on the weekdays so I'm alone then n' I've to resolve to my plastic n' the neighbours cat for company.
So let's start the guided tour by viewin' my small apartment in all it's glory. I'll let the photos speak for themself n' you can see that there's plastic allmost everywhere n' that my stash is beginnin' to reach critical mass.
