Ok this took me 2 months last summer and is a big tick off my bucket list,the room is 15` long and exactly 8`1" wide i think ive used that space to the best of my ability and still have plans for another overhead storage and display case in there. Its pic heavy but i hope that helps you follow what can be done and how,the biggest challenge was the game table and i can lay it out as:
WIDTH
6`x 8`
6`x 4`L/H
6`x 4`R/H
5`x 8`
5`x 6`L/H
5`x 6`R/H
LENGTH
4`x 5`
4`x 6`
4`x 7`

Impressive! :o
-
Do you know this thread appears twice. My reply is on the other thread
-
Absolutely brilliant! :o :o I've seen shops and clubs that dont have displyay cases that nice. Makes me want to get busy on the room the missus told me I could takeover...probably won't be anywhere near as nice though.
-
I take it you are just out to turn us all green with envy. What with all the stunning boards and now this :o :o :o
What a stunning room :-* :-* :-*
Is it all your own work?
-
Sorry i post it says timed out try again i try again and get two posts keeps happening to me grrrrrrrrr.
Hi yes i designed it for myself by myself and built it all except for one of the show cabinets (the WW2 one) was an existing black cabinet but stripped it down re painted it and painted the background on it so it matched the new MDF ones i built.
Cheers AL
-
can I come over? :-*
-
Outstanding :-* I will have to steel some of your ideas when I finally get a room for myself
-
So much jealousy running through me right now...
That is fantastic...
-
Wowsers :o
-
That is superb - well done on maximising the space - I've certainly got a few more ideas for my garage conversion now!!

:o :o :o :o :o
WOW!!! Now that is a lot of work...game-wise, table-wise and room-wise. May the dice gods allow you to roll favourably.
Thanks for sharing.

impressive - is the table on casters?
-
Amazing. I need to shift houses now and convince my wife I need a room like this!!!
-
WOW
-
Amazing work, I think we all dream of what you have achieved!
-

No :?
-
ABSOLUTELY fantastic job!!!
-
Looks like the work of a pro, exremely good finish
-
Holy cow that's fantastic! The game room... and the shelves of miniature! :-*
-
What an incredible place :o :o. But if you think about it, it's logic, coming from the man who achieves such wonderful projects as those tables, etc.
We couldn't expect less!! :)
-
Holy Crap thats impressive! Apart from the excellent use of space and the massive amount of work put in how the bloody hell do you get rid of guests!! ;)
Cholly
-
I am seething with jealousy sir!
Excellent work - truly excellent!
-
is there anything you're not good at???? lol lol
simply stunning :-* :-* :-*
-
Very impressive work, I particularly liked the small features and attention to detail.
Thank you for sharing these images.

Wow looking at the first picture then the last well done for great vision to turn a fairly uninspiring space into something amazing.
At first I thought how is he going to fit the table in but the drop leaves are just genius.
I think i will go and buy a lottery ticket o_o
-
I especially like how they shelves next to the door are divided for the doorknob! I don't know if I missed this or not, but what do you think the room cost you to put together?

£1,300 i know it sounds a lot but imagine if i hadnt done it myself probably more like £4,000 and i allways say `done once , done right , done forever `
I really really wanted that room extended to 15` x 15` but that was a dream and a half,i never thoight after this fell through that i would get as much out of that space as i did,next is the pictures etc but i have to wait a while ,i spent enough .

You've done wonders with the space. As someone who just completed my own game room I really am jealous of a better use of space.

That really doesn't sound like all that much when you look at everything you accomplished with limited space. Talking about space, how much space is there between the two shelving units by the door?
-
Hi Tom
29"
-
Extremely impressive use of such a small space!
-
The shelves look professionally done did you buy a kit or are they completely build by yourself they look great. Ikea had some great cabinets once called billy and they where all glass I have 8 of them and wish I had bought more.
-
All designed and built by myself.
Cheers Alan
-
Incredible...would make me a little claustrophobic, and no "questionable" friends would be allowed to game in there. I have far too many buddies who would put an elbow or a head through one of those display cabinets while gaming...
-
Brilliant I think you have created the benchmark for others to follow.......now I just need my 4 children to grow up and move out lol
-
Amazing, outstanding and fantastic :-* :-* :-*
I'll steel some of your ideas, because I will redecorate my room too
-
Well first off simply amazing stuff! I am inspired to try something myself!
Next question in a few of your pictures I saw some parachutes, where did you get them?!
-
Hi Ninja
The flat ones are hand made ,pretty simple really tin foil and cotton.
Cheers AL

Where did you find the glass shelves and doors? I am moving to Bletchley and have to make a new hobby space. Yours is truly inspirational.

I dont think you wil be ordering your glass from Birmingham England will you?
All of the shelves are 6mm `clear float `with only the front edge polished,i used 6mm instead of 4 mm to stop any bend in the glass from the weight of too many figures,all furniture glass is polished d toughend safety glass but it was a lot lot cheaper to buy `clear float `instead and only the front edge can cut you so only the front edge got polished ,this saves as its priced by the meter when polishing(there is an awfull lot of glass there) :-O
The doors are all Toughend Safety Glass (this is automatically polished edge all round) then i bought some stick on handles off the internet and aproached a whole sale supplier also off the internet too to buy the black plastic running track, a company i know and use from Germany sold me the glass shelf supports.
Cheers AL

so mutch better than "renovation game"
well done

I dont think you wil be ordering your glass from Birmingham England will you?
I might. I am moving to Bletchley and will have to find the glass in the Milton Keynes area. Once there I have to re-establish my hobby space. Thanks for the information.

Ok well glass supply companies are ten a penny over here there will be a few in your area,u know where i am when the time comes and i will advise as best i can ok and good luck with your move.

That is fantastic! Would be so awesome to have a room like that ... I think I will keep this post as a 'to do' item for whenever we get a house! :-*
