Bil's New Modeling Workshop

[bilinvic]

Hey all.... It's been quite a while since I have posted here (I'm always reading the forums though), so I thought I would show y'all what I have been up to. I have been converting part of my garage into the ultimate automotive workshop. It was a long project, but it's completed now...below are some pics of my new "getaway" space!!!! There's more pics on my website:

Hi Bil! Looks bigger than a room on a ship... Very nice, I'd expect nothing less from you. Coming down my way anytime soon? - Mark

Incredible!
My parents never stop telling I take too much place in the basement, gonna show them your pics to show them I don't take this much space :-)
Everything seems perfect, I could never keep something clean like this for more than 2 hours.

Awesome. Just Awesome. I can only hope my garage and workshop end up looking something as good as this. BTW, what fan do you use to evacuate your paint booth?

Hey Mark...Yes much bigger than a space on a ship...in fact, this room is 11 feet wide by 16 feet long.

No plans as of right now to come down to the sunny south...perhaps this fall though.

John,

I used a standard bathroom fan that has, for the most part, a covered motor. I've been using these kinds of fans for years with no problems using all sorts of paints.

Wow that is simply amazing. You have more model kits than some of the hobby shops around here. Looks great.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. AWESOME!

I finally got a good space for building, but it's nowhere near as fancy as that! Now how about building something in all that space...

Ah ha! So this is what's at the end of the yellow brick road! Amazing.

Cool, thanks. Any idea where you got that particular one? Just any standard bathroom fan at Home Depot?

Amazing...

Bought it at Home Depot, but it wasn't with the regular bathroom fans, this one was sold in the area where they have the heat ducting, attic fans, etc. I don't recall the brand name and I can't see any ID on the back of my fan housing. I just threw the box out too....sorry I can't be more help. If I remember correctly, it may have been 110 cfm.
