Ok, here go a few pics of my working area. Notice that I don't have a special room for the hobby. I also don't have a SWMBO yelling at me on a 24/365 base, so I can do what I want, and install my stuff where I want, when I want (one of the advantages of beeing single
) .
In this house where I moved in some 5 years ago, there were two choices, for installing a modeling area (I only returned to this hobby about a year ago or so), either in the attic (which would have been a pain in the arse, as to access it I have to go outside, climb the stairs, which would have been really uncomfortable on rainy or cold weather) or in the main table on my living room (as I live alone and eat on the kitchen table, this was the best option indeed, as even when there are guests, the kitchen table works perfectly well, I don't really need this large living room table) .
I'm only using the central part of the table (at least for now), kits, part of the accessories, some Humbrol paints, are all either on boxes in the attic, or in some cases spread here and there in the house (as is now the case for the few 120mm Verlinden figures I still have, as seen in one of the pics; but most of the aircraft, armor, cars, 1/35 figures, and also my recently bought busts, are all in a large card box in the attic; usually only bring down a couple of pieces at a time, when I'm starting to do some work on them) .
As usual, the remaining working space is always the smallest percentage of the whole table...
The surrounding areas of interest for, or related to the hobby:
Books on WWII (especially on the East Front, and in particular focused on the Battle of Stalingrad), as well as some old Verlinden books, Osprey books, Scale Models old magazines, most of them related to modeling, also a few related to another hobby of mine, phaleristic, mostly in English or in French:
A recently finished Rolls Royce, now on it's display case:
The recently finished US Navy pilot 120mm on its campanula, also a 200mm figure of Adolph Galland:
Some Portuguese (mostly from before 1910, when Portugal became a Republic) awards on a wall:
And the computer table, away from the painting table:
This is all on my living room, which is the room where I spend most of the time.
Cheers!
