Wouter Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 So why aren't you building models I hear you say. We want to see that Me410 finished! Well, so do I. But for any project you need tools. And what is our biggest tool? Well our cave ofcourse. Be it the kitchen table, cupboard umder the stairs, the attic or a full scale garage; we all have one. Last year i moved to my current house and I'm in the lucky position to have a pretty decent space for myself in the attic. But nothing had changed since the late 80's early 90's in this room. And thus I started my latest large scale project, rebuilding the cave! Be aware, photobomb incoming: Before, as advertised in the estate agent brochure. Looks decent right? Well to be honest, it was a lot less stellar then this picture shows. Awful yellow wallpaper, a rotting window, linoleum floor... in three layers and the door was beyond saving, being used for darting. Here's the room after moving in I need more space! Let's get a new dormer That's not me btw That's a big hole in the roof Don't drop it now Nice and easy That's more like it Now the real work starts Isolation, yeah let's do something about those heating bills. Oh and it's better for the environment to ;-) The engine and laundry room before And after PLumbing... wrong place now Should be here In goes the new radiotor A little bit of room divider No more yellow wallpaper Time to bring in the plasterer. I can tell you, he used a lot of Tamiya putty New floor Bring back the modelling desks And that's where we are. Tomorrow i get my delivery from HobbyZone. Now all i have to do is some painting here and there. Bring back the modelling stuff and i'm ready to get going again! Thanks for watching, I will updated when finished. Cheers, Wouter 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouter Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 very nice. i must comment on the panel lines on the flooring...seems a bit too much... a big project, great effort. Do you mean the edges or the panel lines overall? The edges will be covered with some baseboard/skirting board. The panel lines overall are pretty normal here in the Netherlands. Different countries, different tastes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panel lines as in models. there's been much debate lately on "over doing" panel lines on a/c. your floor work is exemplary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyleW Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Having build a room from a blank basement...I feel your pain. . . and sense of triumph! What a nice transformation and a great looking place to work. Can't have too many windows to look out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
