Good grief! I thought the Microchip was cramped!

limited space

...in '82, spent 6 weeks making my way down from Tokyo to the Rykyu Islands. Stayed in hostels, micro hotel rooms with barely 1-1/2 tatami, minshuku, ryokan and even a 'love' hotel!

I was struck by the small spaces, but also how the architecture focused my experience on a more pleasant view, alcove or tiny garden just outside the room.

And the concept of a multi-purpose space seemed built into the Japanese psyche...

Wake up, roll up the futon and place it in the cupboard. Place a few cushions, a small table, and the space is now prepared for a meal, or work. After the evening meal, open another panel, and there was a TV, and the small heater under the skirted table kept you warm through the evening, until it too was put away, and out came the bedding.

Thanks for that great collection of small spaces!

I usually tidy up before I start a new model so this is the cleanest you will ever see this in the pictures of my next build.

All … that … space … (Thud … fainting with shocked envy)

It's just a room put to good use after my son moved out. Wait till I start building shelves all over the place

However it works that you can find space to build.

I have a shared space: Mon thru Thur Work-From-Home space; Fri thru Sun hobby space. Kind of a hassle but you do what you can.

Change. Adapt. Overcome.

Modeling actually gave me the incentive to be physically organized. When you have very little space, everything must have a place, and be in that space when not in use.
