So of course I don't see this thread until I've been packing up my stuff for two days :S But I still have about two thirds of my action-figure collection on the shelves. So without much further ado:
Marvel Legends and DC Direct

And these boxes, more toys.
My wargaming stuff is all at my apartment. I can post photos when I go back in a few days.

Oh I get out plenty. How else would I have accumulated so many figures? And don't worry, the collection is officially RIP. I don't have the money to keep adding to it anymore. That plus the one figure line I had been keeping up with lately has gotten canceled, so its the end of an era.

@reds8n:
I'd been collecting Marvel Legends lately. The line had changed manufacturers and undergone a lot of changes which caused a lot of collectors to drop it. Add to that the fact that the line has already covered pretty much every well know marvel character, and well their's not really much reason for it to exist anymore. But the final wave will give me the Black Bolt figure I've been wanting for ages, so I can't say I'm too upset.

I just wanted to say that I love seeing dakka on computer screens in people's pictures as it really brings home that real people actually use dakka. There is something very fulfilling about seeing something I coded up in my uncomfortable chair on my dying laptop spread all around the world in rooms nicer than my own

That's a nice kit Karlfranz, especially if you've only been playing for a year and a half. Paiste and Yamaha have good stuff. It looks like you know how to read music too, that's excellent. If you don't have one already, pick up a good book of snare drum solos, it can help your chops and technique immensely. I was wondering though, why do you have your two rack toms so far apart?
Like I said, my hobby space right now is pretty minimal compares to what I'm used to, but here's a picture of my drum kit from last time I was in the studio. I used to use more stuff, but when I was with this band I adopted a bit more of a stripped-down setup.

It is a paintier carousel and you can buy them from the warstore. I got mine shipped over from the states but you can probably find them at a more local store through google. They come in a kit form and then you assemble the shelving height based on what you want to store which is why I have a short one for GW paints and a tall one for Vallejo.

We generally prefer it if users refrain from digging up old, old threads. This one however might be of interest to people, and we will have had new members who have joined since this thread initially clawed its way forth from the fecund environs of the internet, like some bastard offspring of Frankensteins' monster and "Changing Rooms". So we'll keep it o'er for now -- although it's probably best worth avoiding quoting or referencing posts from much earlier in the thread. Thanks.

Th’ infernal doors, and on their hinges grate
Harsh thunder, that the lowest bottom shook
Of Erebus. She opened, but to shut
Excelled her power; the gates wide open stood

My theory is its a rental. A few things bring this to mind...
1. None of the furniture matches
2. The paintings/artwork arent hung.
3. You would need a very supportive partner to let your hobby spill that far out of the man-cave.

I bought them from a shop called Geländestücke/ESLO. Get the pre-assembled ones unless you're a sucker for frustrating builds. I did a little write-up on them on meh blog; http://px40k.blogspot.com/2011/05/review-another-paint-storage.html
I prefer these over the carousel ones. YMMV though. These aren't as space effective and cats tend to want to hide behind them.

Post by: oadie
I usually just link back to my post in a previous thread, but hey - new digs, new (old) thread, new pics! Didn't move too long ago, so we're not 100% set up, yet, but since people are giving nearly whole house tours (or at least including all rooms tangentially related to gaming/sleeping), this is the current state of things (pics in spoilers to save page length and load time):
First, the living room:
Still awaiting some more shelving (third bookcase and, ideally, a Dettolf shelf for my sloooooooowly growing collection of fully painted miniatures, and somewhere to put the rest of my game consoles and the turntable), but otherwise as it will be. The hypothetical Infinity table would likely take up that deliciously free floorspace on gaming nights and get stored upstairs the rest of the time.
Next, the bedroom:
Pretty minimalistic, but with only two of us and more than one room in which to toss all of our crap, I rather like it that way. Should feel a bit more home-y once we get the rest of the paintings up. And I'm totally blaming the random tossed-about crap on her. Partly because it's true, partly because she'll never read this.
Finally, the... well, I'm not quite sure what to call it. "Craft room" sounds like more macaroni and popsicle stick gluing happens than actually does (that being none), but I have trouble calling it a man-cave. For one, my girlfriend claimed a corner for her supplies and a chair - feels wrong to say "This is my man-cave. Oh, except for that part. That's the knitting nook." I also have far more badass dreams for my ideal hobby space, so this room would be a bit of a copout. Either way, here's where the hobby happens, when it happens:
View from the door:
From the work table to my computer desk (note: tubs of yarn are not mine; also, should've opened the blinds - I'm about 20 feet of grass away from rather scenic forest):
Closeup of closet (note: unused vertical space, plan to get more plastic drawers; also, mirrored doors - the left side actually contains tool/army cases and a few plastic tubs):
More storage (wire shelves hold bits, basing supplies, and tools; wood shelves hold gaming books, pipes/cigars, and WIP terrain):
And, finally, the main work area:
I've laid out everything I'm using for my current project, so the usable table space looks far more limited than it actually is. Having floor space to move my storage off the table top has made a huge difference. Other than that, not too much has changed. I've grown accustomed to things being where they are, so I didn't want to break whatever system I had developed. For comparison, here's my previous setup:
There's still a lot that can be done, both to my hobby space and the place, in general, but I'm pretty comfortable with things as they are, so unless money starts rolling in at unprecedented rates, I'm in no hurry.

To convert it to a win, simply assemble the LEGO kits, then put those on the shelf instead of the boxes

Just to clarify....
1) I moved from a 3000fs place to a 10000 sf place, so I snagged all the extra furinture i could from my mom and sis plus some of it was left here after they cleaned it out(This was my grandfathers place).
2) I had only been here a month or so when the pic was taken. Im a bit fussy about where art should hang so it took almost 6 months to get everything hung.
3) Im not married. And the girl i was seeing at the time wasnt allowed any imput on where things went.
4) I figured.. No worrys.
I only got this place because my Uncle gave me such a great deal. I paid less than half of the price they would have asked if it went on the open market. Huge change I can tell you. I was living near downtown Houstin and now i live in a forrest about an hour away from the nearest game store. LOL

previous builders had kitted it out with al the tricks, smart homes audio in rooms, beam vacuum system to name a few, and nice big rooms. I can see why they went bankrupt, and thank god they did as it meant i got a cracking deal!

Going to throw a pic of my workspace here as well to share. This is an older pic I had from a few months back. Since then I've upgraded my airbrush equipment, got rid of the printer on my top shelf and sold the Logitech G27 steering wheels and pedals (seen under the desk) so my workspace is a bit cleaner overall. The Ultramarine honor guards and Warmachine figs seen in the pic are still unpainted though.

Burglars can sue you if they fall through your skylight. There's one rule for shooting people and booby traps: there can be only one witness. So burglars stop breathing.

I like it! I could not stand working in some of these cluttered areas (not to bash on you that do; as they say "whatever floats your boat"  )
Even if I clean, after one day of working it is a cluttered mess again. I think my desk is a mirror of my thought process, which jumps all over the place while I work.

Yeah I hear that, I have a terrible tendency to move from project to project as new ideas spring to mind. This tends to lead to half built squads sitting for days, half painted everything sitting for weeks... and of course large portions of the contents in my bitz box migrating from one spot to another on my desk at all times.

The worst mines gotten is having basing sand all over it which I need to vacuum, and the odd extra model on it that's not being worked on (like the vampire count, corpse cart and Salamander in that picture). All bits are kept in tackle boxes and models, wether finished or not, either in my case or on a shelf (since I'm waiting for more foam trays).

I'll have to take some pictures later.
I keep my guns organized and my wargaming as a slovenly mess to distract potential house breakers. Well, that and the booby traps.
Booby traps are illegal. If burglars hurts themselves on them they can sue.
Burglars can sue you if they fall through your skylight. There's one rule for shooting people and booby traps: there can be only one witness. So burglars stop breathing.
Kill the mutant...er...burglar, give 'em concrete shoes, and take 'em for a swim. It's not like they went and told the cops "Hey, I'm gonna go rob this guy's house, so if I don't come back within, say, two hours, he might have killed me. Okay?" And when the body hits the shore, there's nothing (presuming that you didn't leave any hair/tissue/other DNA) linking the person's death to you. Hell, even if you're careless and leave something with the body, there's no case without probable cause. Again, it's not like he was advertising it...
I've done a lot of thinking on this matter.

Wow...three things jump out at me after looking at this thread:
1) We are such nerds. GJ everyone on your action figure/scifi book collections
2)I am not the messiest hobbyist out there! Yay!
3)Wait, were there three? Oh, right...I'm kinda jealous of the spaces some of you have. Even if I took over my entire basement I would still have less hobby area than some of you...and then I wouldn't have a tv area.
Well, I'll try to get some pics for you guys to peruse later.

Going to throw a pic of my workspace here as well to share. This is an older pic I had from a few months back. Since then I've upgraded my airbrush equipment, got rid of the printer on my top shelf and sold the Logitech G27 steering wheels and pedals (seen under the desk) so my workspace is a bit cleaner overall. The Ultramarine honor guards and Warmachine figs seen in the pic are still unpainted though.

Your desk has driving pedals, thats awesome! ( LOL)

My wife and I have dedicated a larger room in our basement to be our gaming cave, we have a 10ft x 4 conference table surrounded by bookshelves for all of our RPGS and Euro style board games. She is a major geek too.

Heh yeah I used to game a bit more. Those were the Logitech G27's which were some of the best wheel/pedals around. I got bored of of it after awhile though and ended up selling them.

Oh I hate would hate myself if my stuff looked like that (not that it is bad, just not my style)
I think I rearrange my collection of stuff more then I do build or paint, and it is neat and organized, I just feel certain things belong in other boxes that day or something.
