"One man's trash, another man's treasure!" Sounds about right to me.

Holy malony, looks absolutely stunning!

Thanks for sharing so many pics! And so many details "hiding" in the pics, really interesting!

Thanks for taking a look Kari, and I appreciate the comments. Yeah, there are a lot of things to see in those pics; would you believe that I know where 95% of it is located? My extreme OCD must create an "inventory" map in my old brain!
Thanks again!

Tex, that is a great room man! I can intimately relate to not having enough room. Mine is a standard bedroom size; but when I've filled it with 1431 finished models and about 350+ unstarted models, plus a lot of various other items, it fills up fast. Mine is just as bad, if not worse than that. I do now have some shelf space now that I packed up my small scale vehicles,, but there still isn't a lot of room. Right now I'm trying to finish some shelf queens and in between those, I'm also repairing models that have sat broken for years and years....

Good luck on your re-organization, looks like you've gotten some great progress already.

Thanks Duke! The room seemed plenty big, once upon a time. But, like Topsy, it kinda growed.

Man, 1431 finished models?!?! Oh my, that is just incredible brother! Is there any way to get a pic of that collection? It must be most impressive. I'd like to think I might finish most of my stash, but who am I kiddin'? To do that, I would need to be in that study right now!

Thanks and you're welcome. As for showing my entire collection; that's a pretty tall order. There's only one way to do that and that is to post a series of pics. Here are seven pics showing my entire collection from a few years ago. I had at least 1400 if not slightly above that count at the time:

East wall, showing the entire wall:



Half of West Wall just inside the door:



The other half of the West Wall, just above my Hobby Desk:



On the ceiling I have at least fifty or sixty large aircraft hanging around.

Northwest corner above the door:



Northeast corner above the closet:



Southeast Corner:



and finally, Southwest corner, directly above my Hobby Desk:



That's the closest thing I have to a "complete" accounting of all my models. You can see half of them all together in one shot in my "Motor Pool" Thread. If you want me to list everything on those pics above, let me know.

My apologies for hijacking your thread. These pics are also in my Workbench Thread in this same Forum...

No, no apologies needed I assure you! Thanks for posting those pics. Wow! That is really something to see Duke. Many gallons of glue and paint represented in those pics! And the man/hours of labor?!?! Color me very impressed sir!

It would take me hours and hours (days?) just to look at all of those models, and I would want to do just that too.
About how many years of model building does that represent Duke?

Barn? He needs a warehouse/hangar!
