Here are the Hutch units close up (actually, the left one is Starsky) - The left hand unit is 1/48 scale World War Two aircraft and jets in both 1/72 and 1/48. Up on top is the ol' "Cannonball" O-gauge train my great-grandfather built, serving out its retirement.
These hutch units came with only three shelves each, and I "upgraded" them by adding some custom-cut glass shelves.
And hey, how about that antique "Mister Machine" toy? |

The right hand shelf is all Nazi, all the time. WWII "Luft '46" models, plus some actually-built WWII German planes. A fairly even mix of 1/72 and 1/48 (but never on the same shelf!). The middle wood shelf is all Messerschmitt-109s. Note the Dickle "Saurian Brandy" bottle on the top shelf! It's an original, but the leather is in poor shape. The train is Great-Grandpa's Scratch-built O-Gauge Camelback. |

What? Oh, hi. My kitbashed starships are all on shelves right in front of me as I surf the Star Trek bboards. The top shelf has the only from-the-box plastic kits. |

Behind me, an ecclectic assortment of sci fi ships and figures looms. Okay, it's a big mess.
That's the 12" Mr. spock action figure from ST:TMP on the top shelf, and
a very old 12" Spidey. On top of the right hand glass cabinet
is another of Great-Grandpa's O-Gauge locomotives, a rather huge 2-6-6-2 articulated Mallet. The two glass cabinets were surplussed at work and I got them for free. They're a natural for keeping my figure models dust-free. I've completely covered the wall with shelves here so there's room for more models - barely. |

On the other end of the room is my drawing board (which, sadly, doesn't get used much any more), and - yes - more shelves! Some more aircraft on the far wall, and the shelves over the board are for the "canon" and "fanon" Star Trek ships, including Starcraft resin kits and Polar Lights Enterprise conversions. Again, I've gone for maximum wall coverage with room for plenty more models. Those empty spaces won't be for long.

| A bookshelf and cabinet divde the room, and I've made myself this handy little display shelf to go on top. I rotate the models displayed there to keep myself from being bored. |

Left picture - Viewed from the door: From my workbench on the right (with essential TV/VCR/DVD/Cable), the sci fi section extends to the back of the room. On the right side of the room are the airplane models.
