Hobby room clean up

I did a clean up of my hobby room and added a few new features(actually just 2) as a reward for myself for completing the angels sanguine and US paratroopers army last year :)

Feature number one is the the Ikea tabletop extension. It cost me $149 and is totally worth it!! It has a magnetic whiteboard, shelves for hobby stuff and space for books on top. Which i think is the coolest feature. Now i can proudly display my collection of space marine battles novels.

Second new feature is the Ikea table cabinet which cost me a whooping $280. But again i'm happy with this investment. For one, my vallejo game color set fits snugly into the drawers. And number two, i can now have a space to put all my paints, washes, pigments and most other chemicals in one place. I forgot to take a picture before clean up but it was not much difference from this pic which was taken in early 2010.

So new look room and a new year with so many deliciously tantalizing projects to look forward too :)
One of which i've already started and is on my table in the first picture above hehe.

Here's wishing all your projects for this new year gets completed on scheduled.

  4. Thanks guys. I was quite lucky that when i bought the house, the balcony had already been renovated into a room. So naturally it just had to be my hobby room hehe.
    I'm very happy with it. Gives me good vibe when hobbying and chiilaxing with my kids.
    But if u want to see a super awesome hobby room...ask Jeff for a guided tour of his hobby room. Mine's a dump compared to his...

  7. By the way Khairul, what is the effective wattage of your lamp light bulb that you use when painting and taking photos. I just bought a RM45 IKEA lamp ... at last, yea ... and was wondering how high do I need to go. I currently have a 15W energy saving bulb with an effective wattage of 75W.

    I actually had one when i was serving with the 1st Co Angels Sanguine....this was before i was married and had kids. Had to return it and my armor...it being relic and artificer u know.

    4EM - i'm using philips 11W cool daylight bulb. The shape of the bulp is unconventional. Its like 4 glass tubes attached to the socket.
