I guess I just have spent like an hour in total, doing rc stuff since I got the room "finished" to much other things going on.. Hope that it will change soon, I got so many projects that needs to be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palfertronic 74 Posted September 18, 2018 Great subject! I am in the process of packing up my house and moving to South Africa, where I am having a new "Mancave" built for me. My new Man cave will be about 3.2m x 3,2m, and looking for some inspiration! I will have a lot of old kitchen furniture to modify into work tops and storage space, so any suggestions/tips? I will have about 25 cars plus at least 4 RC aircraft too...plus my Hi Fi to fit in there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

one_hit 1037 Posted September 19, 2018 I think I have the smallest man-cave here at 3x3 meters It's really messy due to the limited space. It's so small that most of my kits are stored in various closets around the house. Hopefully I'll have a better one when the wife and I move to a bigger place 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10003 Posted September 20, 2018 Feeling you @one_hit , nothing fancy for me either. But your chair looks a bit more comfy than mine! Just a bit of semi-organised chaos. Down the track a proper bench would be nice, thinking a sit down level in front of the window making use of the natural light, and a higher stand up level over lapping in the corner down the adjacent wall. Still its not size that matters its what you do with it . As I've said before unsupervised vacuuming in this room is completely banned as to not disturb that crucial screw/pin that may have slipped off the table onto the floor. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernut 120 Posted September 20, 2018 This is good stuff. I'm in the process of getting my own Fortress of Solitude in order. Moved into the house about 2.5 years ago and just now getting to re-purpose a vacated room in the basement (daughter moved out). I'll try to add some pics this weekend. @Re-Bugged Is that a Kyosho Javelin on your work bench? Also, you can learn a lot about a person by looking at the books they read As far as work benches, I upgraded from a standard desk to one of these and never looked back: Picked mine up from Harbor Freight for $80. Painted the peg board grey and added a brighter strip light. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Re-Bugged 10003 Posted September 21, 2018 Yep@Juggernut, sure is a Javelin. Really nice kit, loving the build . It was this forums fault, I never knew about them until I saw the one given away on here when first joined. Had to get one it fills the void nicely of missing the Fighting Buggy re-release's while I was working under ground on one of Saturn's moon's. And those books were/are the kids books. I prefer reading TC and RC instruction manuals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 479 Posted September 28, 2018 I don’t have a man cave I’ve got a desk in my bedroom for working on my R/C stuff and the top of my wardrobe to store the majority of my cars! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It only arrived a couple of days ago and it’s quite far down the list at the moment. I’ve to finish my FF01 speed run build, my TA02 speed run build, my new Fast Attack Vehicle build and start getting the parts together for the FF02 I’m building out of spare parts Once that lot is sorted I’ll move onto the FF03 Accord Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobgoblin 1059 Posted October 24, 2018 Bit of a bump, but I had just tidied up my cave of blunders. (yes this is "tidy") Luckily my works is okay with my corner being populated by various hobby and RC cruft, alongside my regular tools! The other shop guy is the same, just with even more finished cars and quadcopters! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobgoblin 1059 Posted September 14, 2019 This thread coming back up made me a bit sad! Picture of my bench at my old works which went under last month. Everything's had to be thrown away, returned or boxed up for storage Oh well, at least I have time to plan the dream setup now! Everything vital (hand tools, stuff for working on the 1:1 car, and the "valuable" Tamiya bits) is moved to the spare room. My workbench is the tumble dryer and I can do all the painting down by the bins for my flats - where there's a will there's a way 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
