I'm in the box room of my house. Ikea expedit units are great for storing tanks!

Thanks Tom, great work space, those Ikea expedit units are a great space saving idea, think I might have to borrow it...

Cheers jake, I was pleasantly suprised how much I managed to get in. Unfortunately it's gotten rather messy of late :(

It's funny how stuff from idea comes in ever so handy for modellers needs.

I used them for all my corgi aircraft collection, until the Mrs moved them for her Disney snow globes, most dischuffed to say the least.

Hi Painless

Thanks for sharing the pics, you've got a pretty cool set up , don't think I'd be allowed to use the kitchen work top somehow..especially like the lay out of the tanks in the library ...you seem to have quite a collection there...very nice Painless.. :)

EF,
That is part of my 1/32 diecast collection. It is a Forces of Valor 'Desert Storm' era Marine M60 with reactive armor. Before I got back into RC tanks, I collected a few of those pieces from F.O.V. and U.S. They look great and serve as nifty research vehicles now. I'm much happier these days because money spent actually starts up and drives around, making noise and shooting. ;o)
regards,
Painless
