Show Us Your Modding Work Space

I posted a pic of my newly created home work space in the Pro Series GT Classic thread.  Then decided to make a video to bring the details of the space into focus.  The display case in the video features several of the builds that I've entered over the last few years -some successful and some not so much.

All of the FTE's that gave up their lives for the JDC442 Racing cause over the years

I owe a lot of my racing success to my wife who helped me acquire a large number of FTE cars for next to nothing.  She found a hobby shop that was going out of business back in 2012, selling all of their Hot Wheels for 2/$1.  I went right for the 2005/2006 tubs and was soon in FTE heaven.  The shop was over an hour south of where we lived, but I ended up going back three times just to be sure I didn't miss anything :)

With some time off around the holiday weekend, I took some time to treat myself to a clean Hot Wheels project room. Long overdue. Don't underestimate the motivation rearranging and/or cleaning your space can provide.

...now I just need to organize my boxes and cases of cars!

It has taken quite awhile for me to get dedicated work space and track space. I am tuning the track so that I can mount it solid as I want to host a race this season.

I realise this is an old thread, but I'm new so here's my current workspace (although the track has encroached onto it a bit now. Lol

I had got into 1/24 scale cars more, until I rekindled a serious interest in 1/64 scale but I still enjoy both, just harder to race the big guys and more expensive :) The vehicles on the right hand side of the second shelf are all customs - wheel swaps, paint jobs, lowering etc
