For your hobby materials, do you need more storage space?
robert piepenbrink	16 Sep 2023 5:20 p.m. PST
No, I need less stuff.
The Nigerian Lead Minister	16 Sep 2023 5:21 p.m. PST
But of course! Always need more space, not that I'm getting any.
79thPA	16 Sep 2023 5:26 p.m. PST
Of course.
pmwalt	16 Sep 2023 5:52 p.m. PST
I probably need to thin the herd a bit …
Perris0707	16 Sep 2023 5:53 p.m. PST
No actually.
FusilierDan	16 Sep 2023 5:56 p.m. PST
Absolutely!
Sgt Slag	16 Sep 2023 6:35 p.m. PST
No. I am good. Cheers!
robert piepenbrink	16 Sep 2023 6:37 p.m. PST
Actually, I need different storage space. I need 10' x 2' x 8' of miniature & terrain storage space, 6' of desk space with overhead storage for paints, brushes, files and suchlike, about 4' of bins for the larger hills and two book cases covering about 8' of wall for directly wargame-related books. These would form a L with the rest of the room being a table of variable size and shape. I have more space than that, but I don't have a room like that. Maybe someday, but probably not.

A man can dream Robert.
Egoodlander	16 Sep 2023 7:49 p.m. PST
yes
Titchmonster	16 Sep 2023 8:47 p.m. PST
Yep
Wolfshanza	16 Sep 2023 10:40 p.m. PST
50/50 less stuff and more room <sigh>
Old Contemptible	17 Sep 2023 1:15 a.m. PST
Yes
CeruLucifus	17 Sep 2023 1:36 a.m. PST
robert piepenbrink No, I need less stuff. This.
Louis XIV	17 Sep 2023 5:06 a.m. PST
Parkinson's Law of Miniatures is appropriate here: "Your collection expands to fill the space available for storage" As was noted people need less stuff not more storage
20thmaine	17 Sep 2023 5:49 a.m. PST
Yes – although the first response on this thread is the real answer.
Silurian	17 Sep 2023 7:27 a.m. PST
Definitely!
Tacitus	17 Sep 2023 7:50 a.m. PST
I need more desk surface
14Bore	17 Sep 2023 8:34 a.m. PST
Desk could be less cluttered, saw a paint rack Napoleonic Wargammer on YouTube had and thought to make one
blacksmith	17 Sep 2023 8:43 a.m. PST
Since the beginning.
Andrew Walters	17 Sep 2023 8:44 a.m. PST
That is literally what I need most. Not going to get it, so I need to figure out how to have less stuff. Sadly the trend is in the opposite direction.
etotheipi	17 Sep 2023 1:05 p.m. PST
Need doesn't really equate to hobby anything.
Oberlindes Sol LIC	17 Sep 2023 4:26 p.m. PST
I think I'm with Robert Piepenbrink on this one.
Striker	17 Sep 2023 10:11 p.m. PST
I don't need more storage but to get through what I already have.
advocate	18 Sep 2023 4:52 a.m. PST
I could use it, for sure. Less stuff is another, if harder, route to take.

I have recently determined and begun a change to 10mm. All 28mm going out for sale or donation. Storage space is an important topic on my house and the She Who Must Be Obeyed supports the change financially and pragmatically. It has had a positive effect to operations and opening up space that we both felt needed to be aired out and the load lightened. If any of this makes sense.
