building update

jut a small update on the state of my room.
We got the walls and the door up yesterday, so now it looks like a room. All that is left to do now is to get the door to the storage room next door to my room in place, and build a new roof all over the basement. We will start on these tasks on friday.
Then after this is done, I can get the roof painted and put the carpet in to the hobbyroom, and then I can start to get my furniture back in. I will have to buy some new shelves, and I have an idea of what I want, but I will have to take some final meassurements before I go out and buy anything.
Then later on I will get the electrical work done, but this doesn't have to be in place before I start using my room.

Hopefully I can move in to my room in my holliday.

Why isn't there any updates?

These last few weeks have gone really fast. I have started on more Space Marines, this time it is a specialist Veteran force based on marines from the Dark Angels chapter. They will still fit in to my Second Ultras, as they have arrived to fill up the thin ranks and provide specialist expertise for the 1.st company. I haven't worked out all the fluff yet, but since they are mostly robed and mysterious looking and armed with either guns and chainswords or just with bolters they are probably there to provide expertise on hunting down a race that they know alot about. Don't know enough about the Dark Angels to say who that is yet, but I'm reading up on them and painting them in accordance with the secund Ultras fluff and adopting them into my unit. Hope the fluff is ready about the same time as the minis are finished.

If you are wondering about the picture in this post, wonder no more! This is the beginning of my new and improved workspace. The wife and I have been tearing down the old cellar walls, so all my miniature stuff (except for my mobile workstation with the above mentioned marines, two chaos knights and some paint and glue) is neatly stacked in our small sauna. I really didn't know how much 1:35 scale models and warhammer (Fantasy & 40K) miniatures I had until I saw it stacked in the sauna. Granted the sauna is small, but still it was a suprise!
Spent the last few weeks on clearing everything away and tearing down the old walls. The clearing things away is what really took time, 'cause where do one move it to? The solution was filling the sauna and neighbouring areas.
As you see, the re-building has started. My workspace will be in the room with the window (where the ladder is at the moment). It gives me a lot more space, and improved storage of both finished and unbuilt models and miniatures. The finished miniatures will be showcased in glass monters. I am looking to find a way to showcase the finished 1:35 dioramas as well. They do look really good in the glass monters, but because of their size that is out of the question for now. Guess I will have to see if I can get some glass doors on the shelves where I stack them (or something similar).

We start to install the walls tomorrow afternoon, and hopefully we will get quite a lot done on friday as well. Will keep you posted on the progress, and you can rest asure the new room will be presented properly in a post in here as soon as it is ready.
