Come share your hobby room and how did you setup it up?.
I see lots of people with lots of interesting hobby collecting and building their favorite stuff and keeping it nicely on their shelf and some even build a whole room for it. I see many Gundam, legos, watch collector, drinking can collectors, hotwheels, cloth makers, wood work, art work, scale plastic kits, sports stuff, Starwars collectors and etc have cool hobby space to show their collections. I've seen many of my friend who also both young and old, male and female have their special room setup dedicated for their hobby and spending positive and productive time yet creatively setup their room to make it more lively thus motivated thus passionate about thing they do. Like people used to say "Ambition and happines starts at home".

So if you have interesting room setup, shelf, table, workshop or mini space for your hobby feel free to show your space and let people know that you have a passion for your hobby, plus it might help other to give them ideas how to start setup up their own dream space for their man/woman's cave.

Here my man caves, collection of R/C models from years of R/C activity for more than three decades. It reflect my passion, ambition also also my present career related to my hobby. I have my mini workshop, hangar space for my planes, 3d design/printing, r/c models and hangout for my buddies and guess outside the room. Have all the inventory access to work on my project systematically. Library of videos and media to enjoy all R/C related stuff when i'm in lazy mode. The cost of setting up my cave is fairly cheap since i use recycled furniture, cheap shoe rack, iron board stand as deck, re-painted kitchen furniture as model shelf and mix match color of furniture with my model to make my living space looks harmony. No IKEA or any branded furniture around....only cheap RM$45 table from Court Mammoth and other $1 store for picture frame and etc to work on the decor. So everytime i get back home from airfield or activity i can just sit back, relax and feel the aura of my passion workmanship around me.
Btw i still need to work on room for my CAD design supercars collection and creating mini R/C racing indoor track. Will post some updates soon. Cheers.

omg...so packed...

I'm still working to rearranged it, i have another empty room to renovate another cave. Will make super cave.

how about you paint that new room ceiling resemble blue sky.

Nice! Is that your ceiling? Maybe its a good idea for my aircraft room. I did think about that idea, i need to improve the lightings to make the blue skies more vibrant. The one shown on my main hangar have crappy lighting. My android control LED lighting sets from Banggood.com is on its way hopefully brightens everything.

nope. i found this from Google.

yes, you should make your room brighter so that is will looks more spacious..

but dont put mirror, as it will doubles your aircraft and become more packed.

I'm a diecast car collector, but still havent got that fund to deco it into my room..

Ah yes very true about the mirror, almost go an ikea cupboard which almost have mirrored glass to store my 1:35 scale 4x4 micro models. Right now still looking for the perfect one. Let me know how yours look like if you get one since your diecast models usually share the same space style as my micros. My first concern is the colors of the shelf.

damn the planes are huge

wtf.. .so many feiji

I have a games room too. It is still a work in progress as i am adding new stuff to it whenever I come across something interesting.

I am a bit short on cash at the moment as funds have been redirected to my cinema room. Installing Bose SoundTouch system to the whole house is a huge money sink. And the worst offender is the Bose 650 which is to be installed in the cinema room together with a 4K projector.

Here are some pictures of the games room.

Thanks for sharing friedricetheman,
Btw i love the black cupboard very cubic/rubix (black) , it really fits my styling to store my R/c cars. Where did you get it?
I feel you too about budget. I have to resort DIY to solve my problem. Sometimes like using kitchen plastic rack to store my R/C stuff. Those frame picture around my room i used color printer instead of actual photo develop at photography shop to save money for wall decor. Show us soon when you finish your cinema room and your game room.




Wait till you see the monster size plane but the wall hanger.

Since wife took over the interior design for the whole house, I have control over two rooms in my home - cinema and games room. Even my kids playroom and the library are off limits.

My wife thinks that I have bad taste in interior decorations.

I will post pictures of the cinema room when it’s ready. I still need a lot of cash to buy proper furniture for the cinema room.

@SupermotoXL That’s might impressive

Thanks.


Show that you can decorate stuff like man How long do you think you can complete two room projects? Any photo of inspiration you might pick from online for your room design?


Relaxing in pilot lounge
Back from work straight away jump on sofa, turn on the music, relax and read some rc model books before cooking. Then back to my hangar to continue my projects and stuff. Having man cave improve man's mental health.

Photos: ...stealth sofa, lol



Btw anyone have cool hobby space to share here, i see some Gundam and Hot Wheels guys in this forum have cool collection and work space.

Don't really have a room to display them, both gaming/entertainment and Gundam is in the living hall

Still its manly stuff, you should show your proud hobby space. I used to have plenty of Gundamn that share same space with gaming center. Not sure where's my Gundamn now...and Patlabors.

Btw here how my space look like before renovation. Very messy and clutter in one room few years ago located almost attic side. Very gloomy and less moddy when stuff is thrown around back then.

Before renovation photos...messy and clutter attic hangar:














Then i do some DIY racks and some recycled wood stuff and cupboards to keep my things well arrange without spending to much money.

wooo..wonder how much u invest on it?
i quite toy & hobby collection, now already sold out 20% of my collection. trying to reduce my collection to 50% & allocate new space.

btw how u clear the dust???
just let it flying with high speed to fly off the dust??

The dust accumulated once each year, so i dust it every month of May. The room seldom have dust.
If i were you i wouldn't sell anything that i work hard on because sometime each stuff i build, create and enjoy bring great nostalgic memories and sometime represent that person identity and ambition. For some people they will look at you as if you're not grown up but if you look deep on what you do you actually did positive things in life despite people view it toys or cash thrown hobby but slowly it generate an ambition and career. If you look at youtube some people did and does generate career based on their favorite hobby.
All the stuff you see here i didn't even spent much cash..the max i spent was RM500 per-year, its all comes in almost free because i receive lots of sponsorship and support from various hobby agents and community for pioneering something i'm good at. I did throw away 20% but came back to me again 50%, lol. But right now i can no longer throw away because each and few of these plane already made its fame for pioneering the impossible in the world. With my hobby knowledge in R/C and aviation i also landed with many career, contract and part-time educational jobs. My other hobby also into 3d modelling and designing for gamers. So it looks like all these years designing, building , racing R/c, flying R/c and then DIY drone technology finally bring promising career and future. Now i'm a happy man, at least i don't to spend much to enjoy my hobby because it grows almost freely with almost no cost. So when you have a hobby you have a super bright future ahead. Yeah i have a cool life. That why you must have man-cave or she-shed to reflect who you are and your achievement.

My Display for Gunpla, not a lot of collection


Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice place to put the Gundams on glass shelf especially the transparent base on front row. Is the shelf holder you made or part of the house design?


Found some youtube that helps me to improve my room designs and also place to keep my stuff.









I'll make a my tour video of hangar soon.
