I was just wondering what happened to this thread now that the cave is somewhat clean... I wish one day to have something like rangerrob has, the space for a table would be sweet.

-tosses hat into ring-

As a group, I find we like to show off our workspace just as much as our work. So here is mine...

My Work/painting desk.


another shot


My GW bookshelf...


and agin..



My Computer desk and other books shelves...




and for the heck of it.. My Living room....

Paintspace:


Catspace:

Pixelpusher, where did you get your paint racks? They are exactly what I'm looking for as I only use dropper bottles now.

Nothing wrong with a guy who has his own replica Boltgun.

My current computer set-up...
Who doesn't play WoW and Final Fantasy 10 at the same time? On second thought, does anyone even use the Ps2 anymore?

damn GW has all my money ><

Hah, I actually spit up my drink. You just need to photo shop two boxes of Empire Greatswords next to that and it would be legend.

Mine does... And I'm about to get a second PS2 on top of that.

It's a good system.

I like this thread. I came in here thinking "man, this sounds like luna made this thread, but she doesn't talk so crazy anymore". And it's 2 years old!

I was about to say congrats to dakka. 5 pages without anyone posting a hobo pic in this types of thread. You ruined it!

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.

Just kidding. Im jelly!

Do you live in a warehouse? It's so spacious!

My "Hobby Station" with my laptop. (Steam is open)





My room.



The distance between the two.

I'll post pictures of my room when it's not 3:45 in the morning. Until then, be satisfied on what is usually at the foot of my bed.

I lol'd at the cats. +1 internetz.

I wish my cat was that boxey

I'm glad the powers that be allowed this thread to remain. I always love these little peeks into the private lives of people I fractionally know. Will try and take a pic of my hovel when I return to it.

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.

The disgustingness of my room. The toolkit in front of my bed is Orks.



My workstation/Desk. Notice the Lava Lamp.



The Hiking Bench. Satan's way to tell sailors "Hey. I hate you. Use this."

Definitely looking at some of these images, it seems the the GW price increase isn't going to effect at least a couple of you...holy crap. My entire house would fit in that living room...and I am talking both floors. And the basement that looks like a parking garage...

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.

I don't know what your talking about oadie...your house looks very neat. Your desks might be cramped, but with everything you have and because you just moved in, you two look like you did very efficiently with the space.

Being a father of two teenage sons I have 2 sanctuaries, one of which is my office (once the garage, separate from the house so isolated from noisy kids, Playstations etc)





The spare room is turning into a library - my own Black Library...

Most of you guys need to clean your rooms. Otherwise, girls won't want to come over.

Seriously.


Edit: @ Luco. Sweet foam chainswords and bolters, guy.

I'm at work atm but I do have a desk picture on my phone.

Girls come over to my place all the time.

Albeit, they're usually there to see the wife.

I'll grab new pics of my still horrendously messy(but just slightly less cluttered) hobby room.
