Well, here's my work area. My basement is semi-finished so I set up a second living room/den area in it. Which is great since I basically have a living room set up for my daughter upstairs and a living room downstairs where my wife and I don't have to worry about our laptops getting smashed by said daughter. There's a big 'closet-y' area where the stairs cut in and I basically made this my Gunpla hole.
I happened to have this desk which fit right into the cubby made by the stairs. This is my primary station where I do just about everything. Recently I've been using a lap desk because a couple hours ago this desk was covered in clutter. The huge cutting mat was a gift from my brother. I threw the Assault Kingdom figures up there because I was constantly fiddling with them. So I stuck them up there out of the way but still in fiddle reach.
Random IKEA shelf I hung. I usually put the kit I most recently finished on it. Well that's sort of what's on it. The HGCE Strike Rouge was technically the last gunpla finished in my basement, even though my wife built it. And the Wing Zero is going to officially on that shelf as finished soon enough.
Side note here: I can say the Strike Rouge, and thus all the new Strike HGs, is an excellent kit. Everything from the balance to the aesthetics to the articulation. I was presently surprised while posing it after my wife had finished it.
Tool/Supply shelf. Also a holder of clutter and random spare parts.
There's an actual small walk in closet (bit of irony there I know) built just across from my desk. All the boxs are full of spare parts and other miscellaneous-ness. You can also see the feet of my wife's unfinished PG Strike Rouge up there -_-.
Well I thought I'd end this post with some close ups of my display shelf.
I use the top shelf for HG's because of the obvious height restrictions. On the left is a semi-forgotten Zaku kit-bash project, along with a semi-forgotten Hyaku Shiki. I don't remember why I took the DX's satellite system off... On another note, I mentioned a custom Sinanju in a previous post. Well there it is. It's a kit-bash mod mix of sorts. I'll start working on it again after the Wing Zero is done.
I like these kits so much I dedicated a whole shelf to them.
Shelf of MG's. The Exia is well.. yeah, I'm not even sure whats going on with that Exia at this point.
The Delta Plus has all sorts of problems. I put it on the shelf next to my desk in case I ever decide to fix it. The Stein is all laid out cause it's currently for sale on eBay (funding for a side project).
I took a couple more shots of the Nu and Sazabi because A) I think they look awesome, and B) The Sazabi. I've seen and read a lot of reviews of the Sazabi Ver Ka that say 'oh this guy's too heavy for an action base, don't even try'. Well I tried. It worked. It works, great. I find that the clip piece you have to use from the action base clips on super secure and the base arm itself can hold the weight. However, it isn't perfect. Sazabi is so big and massive and heavy that it's balance is easily shifted by just it's limbs. Especially those huge legs. That being said. It's very easy to set him up and see the arm start leaning. My base here is actually leaning ever so slightly. Basically I'm telling you Yes, you can get Sazabi aerial. But it IS a big, heavy kit so be careful balancing and getting the center of gravity just right. Like I said, it isn't perfect. But at least Char isn't just standing there while Amuro's flying around.
Well that's all for now. I think after I get my other room cleaned up I'll do a post about it too.
