My "Manscave"
I was asked, what photobooth / Background i use for my galery pictures.
because i don't know how to insert pictures in replies, i thought to make an album of my basement.
I want to start with the photobox and so on ... have fun!
1June 5, 2020On one wall is my workbench and my "little" stash of kits.
2June 5, 2020this is my main workbench.
3June 5, 2020some kits on the left...
4June 5, 2020...and my "parking lot" for the current projects i'm working on.
The upper line are the resinkits with the matching doner kits.
the second line are my long, stagnant projects.
the third line (with the beetles and spraycans) are the current work parked 😉
5June 5, 2020in the middle of the room is my second glasstable-bench. On this, i do the castings and i work on it with resin. The resin-stuff is on the right place.
Also i use this to build dioramas. All the stuff that i need is on the left of the bench.
In the background are three of my showcases with completed models. I have some more cases in the basement 😎
6June 5, 2020In the family hobby room nearby, there is my Photobooth. The booth is about 20 inches (50cm) every side.
It is a pop-up-booth with different textile background (black, red, blue, white). It came with a really bright daylight lamp who is mounted above. The white in the foreground is also a lamp to take away shadows from the model while taking pictures
7June 5, 2020For the pictures i use cardboard. to have a stable stand of the models, i layed a suitable wooden plate underneath.
8March 18, 2022New updated place above my working place

10March 18, 2022under my bench, i bought a new cabinet with drawers to store my long projects

On pic #4 I see the first tray is bended down. In such kind of cases I turn it upside down so it could bend to the other side the next couple of months.

Thanks for sharing I spent a while admiring your space and the organization. Great selection of kits too. Is that the Aoshima or Testors car trailer ? I hope to make my workbench like this one day.

Ah Ha - I noticed the 'stash' of wine in the lower left corner. Can't read the labels so I cannot comment on that part of your stash 😛

Like you mentioned earlier. I have to clean any ongoing projects off of the bench every evening. I have a cat that will run off with parts and/or knock stuff off.

Great place! What are the numbers on the post-its that come by on some of the pictures..? Do you number your kits? #1707 on picture 13 for example 😛

I can answer this. I registrated my kits before i got the knowledge of existing an amazing paltform called "scalemates". I made my own register via Excel. I also using the number for all the pictures of my modelling (for galeries or wips), starting with this number and then a "runnig" number afterwards. I have my own picture album where I have an overview of my stash nearby scalemates.
So: kits with a sticker and a # on it (in Dominik's stash) are kits
-given from me to him or
- exchanged between him and me 😉

:-D thats right Nigel.
while i am in the basement, there would be no problems with pets - we have none...i wished we had a cat. but the door is always closed to my mancave :-D
Thanks for explain the numbers Brother.
i never wrote down, what kit i have, date of buying etc like my brother does. most of them i have in mind, because my stash is "not as big as others".
some other post-its are my notes, what i planed for them. for example moviecars or existing cars like the 66 Mustang with note "#001 cream" for the real FIN-Nr 1 for reference.
