Interesting reading, as usual. Thanks for sharing your loving, painstaking work with us.

Can you tell us where you work on your models (basement, spare room, garage???) and where you display your works of art once you complete a project?

I just like to get a glimpse into your personal creative world....in other words, do you have a studio of some kind?...display shelves???

I used to do miniature wall art in cloth, felt and other materials. The kitchen table at night was all I had for a work place in those long-ago days.

Sure.

We have an area in our master bedroom, off to the side, that was intended for a desk and like an office area. We've turned it into my model shop.

I have a desk with a computer, and then along the rest of the length of the wall a long table with a glass top/cover where I build. Along the wall above that we have modular shelves installed where I keep the kits and things, and then along the table itself I have a bunch of organizers for parts, paints, glues, putty, tools of all types, etc.

Across the way, we have put in a bunch of shelves between there and the bedroom to display the models once they are finished...but I am running out of room there. Some to the ones my wife deems appropriate are therefore getting honored spots in other parts of the house.

I built models for a few years about 20 years ago, but when we moved and I changed jobs, it went to the side.

Now, since malignant bone cancer surgeries, recovery and rehab, the wife felt it would be a good thing for me to get back into. And she was right, it has been.
