Here are photos of my new workshop in a 93 year old historical home we recently purchased in Florida. 
This is a really good size, well organized and much equipped with tools, shipyard! I can see you have designated areas for milling\drilling, draft table, painting area, and woodworking bench. Not to mention we can see some of your models on the background. Can you tell us a bit more about your models' collection? A build log would be great, if possible.
Nice .setup
Having just joined the forum, I will get more info together for posting. I have always wanted a shop like this one. A dream come true thanks to an understanding wife.
I would get married just at least to have a shop like this...
Wow, very nice looking workshop.
Very nice shop and great collection of tools. Looking forward to seeing some builds.
I thought I had already posted pics of my hobby room but cannot find them,
I remember Maarten saying that I had plenty of room for masting my boats,
so here they are again, there have been so very nice hobby rooms posted, enjoy,
Here are a couple of pics of my main hobby room, it is 6 meters x 4.2 meters , I say
it is my main room as I used to do all my sawing etc in here, but the Admiral has not
been very well and the noise upsets her so I have converted half of my outside workshop
to do all the sawing etc, the noisy stuff and will use this area for general construction,
another view, the two table saws, band saw and the belt sander will go to the shed outside,
.

This is the shed I will be turning into an outside work shop, The broom is waiting for Maarten in case he ever vists,
so he can tie it to the top of his main mast and sweep all the sea's clean,
,
It will be the bottom end that I will use, from the beam that is across the roof,
I have the extra roof beams in place and one side of the wall is already boarded, I used 19mm ply with 100mm
of insulation behind it,
all the walls boarded and I relaid the floor pavers with 100mm of dolomite under them with a waterproof barrier
underneath,
Exterior view,
and with the drawers and benches fitted,
Panoramic view,
and a view through the window looking in, i am so pleased with it that I am going to move all my Radio controlled
boats out here, and I have renewed the benches in the other part of the shed and will do all my cutting sawing etc
in there,
a view of the other part of the shed, still has to be cleared of stuff and cleaned up,

G'day Jim, it's a Proxxon Milling Machine, hope this helps you,
Best regards John,
Thanks, John. I thought about it but have not seen this model in their line. What is the model number?
G'day Jim, it is the
proxxon bfw 40 e
here is a larger pic of it, I really like it, you can use it with fine feed as for in milling or just push a small
lever and use it as a drilling machine press, and it is very quite,

Thanks, John. Proxxon doesn't have this model for USA (110v). We have a different model MF 70
