Kampfgruppe144 BBS

Well, Lex asked if members would do a separate thread showing their modelling environment, stash, etc. So, here goes with mine.

When my wife and I went separate ways last November, I looked for suitable accommodation that would be secure, within striking distance of work yet...

As this year arrived to it's end it's time for rewiew what was done.
In fact this year not too mutch done but I am very satisfied.
Four intruders , AFV in 72 .
Three planes in 144, and maybe best part of this year production .
Maybe the highlight is for Tu141, I am satisfied how...

always disappointing to look through old threads and see

And then there are the old laptops, that wont boot up anymore - just need to fix the cover open switch - or something... :cry:

Three cheers for BD99 and KG144, everything I have uploaded here is...

Scuse the mess, just dumped these in the room while tidying elsewhere. Need to add the JWings, Cafe Reo complete sets as well.....

Well it looks as if Christine didn't sell the Grandchildren after all to buy the Lincoln. One of my club mates gave me a couple of rather well loved airliners and I thought these my be fun for Josh and I to play with.

Josh 5 and a half and getting good at Lego so we had a go at...

Nothing too exotic. The Sealion make a nice addition to my 1/144 ships. Kind of reminds me of the boat in Thunder in Paradise....

Thunder in Paradise' craft had pop up missile launchers as...

My stash is a little harder to show.
Due to space ..and not only 8-) it is not in the original boxes, several pieces are stored together, roughly like goods in Chinese containers for overseas transport :D .
That's why there are no pictures because it is everywhere in the...

I really need to sort out my F-Toys and other gashapon types. So far I have made a list (example pages shown) of all the types not in completed box sets however they are scattered between storage boxes and I need to collate them so I have, for example, all the EuroJet Collection...

The transports only partly done as I need to find space for the larger aircraft such as C-5 Galaxy, Antonov Condor etc

OK mananged to sort out a few more. Still focusing on fighters and trainers. Bombers, strike and transports to follow.

USAF Types F-14 to F-35

i used to have my own mancave/workspace, but i had to give it up a year ago to turn it into a bedroom for my now 2.5 year old son.
as a compromise, my wife let me use the freed up space in the bedroom as my little moding corner. but recently, i had no room for building as the...

So, erm... well, this is really all I have in terms of kits:

There are some more obscure/rare-ish thingies among these boxes, but not much. I have ordered myself to stop right here and only buy new stuff as I free up space in this cupboard. Let's see if I make it...

Bonus...

Despite my terminally slow rate of work I do on occasion complete a model. Unfortunately they end up quite dusty and covered in cobwebs if I dont pay regular attention to them (hint - I dont). Still here are a few that I broke out the duster for the other day. Still a bit dusty...

I'm away from my workbench since months. Part of this situation is because I decided to rethink my hobby zone. With Heroes Models, my hobby partially turned into a work so my workbench must be usefull also for the working part.

And that's the result, here is where my models...

Looking the stash pictures..I have some experiences here
Many old DML boxes..
The DML decals of builded kits got bad yellow with time (like Ea-6B prowler)
And the decals still not used in paper when put in water cracked..(DML F-14, Panda B-1B)
Maybe can be saved with...

Small but so are the models I work on. :)

I don't have a fixed place to build models or show finished, and according to the misses, that will never happen unfortunately, so after construction all is put away into boxes..

My stash however has gotten a bit out of hand before I got to know the misses:

so I can easily...

OK I know that having a messy disorganised stash isnt something to brag about but once in a while, it transcends mess to become a work of art. Accordingly I present to you The Messy Stash. Split across three rooms.

Room 1 is mainly SF and TV related. Star Trek and Star Wars...

Well its a start. I was going to list the contents of each photo but really dont see the point. As with nearly all my stash, the shelves are double layered so I have photographed the front layer, pushed to the back and then added and photographed the front layer. There may be...

Greetings, my fellow modelers!

I wasn't sure where to post this, but after consulting with Smeg, a forum about modelers and their stories seemed like a good place.

My modeling is about half models, and half fictional wargame which took a fun dramatic turn along the way. Since...

There are so many things on this forum, that I have only just discovered the presentation of workbenches and other hideouts.... :? :?

So, I'm going to ...

Within our apartment, I monopolized a guest room (that doesn't pose problems, because as I often say to my dear and...

I have this unheated garret room lined with shelves containing a great many cardboard boxes. In hopes of gathering courage to build something, Ive gotten out as many models as will fit in the interstices.
