).
Picture taken while leaning against the back wall. Computer is down to the left under the table/monitor. The pink stuff is inch and a half thick insulation in my vain attempt to cut down on the noise of that freaking jet engine under my table.
You into R/C? I spy an OS Engines box
Yeh, that one was for my plane. A trainer model my dad picked up for my sister like 10 years ago, but she never finished. So, I picked it up once I got old enough and finished it off. Funny thing was that my sister was still quite young when they bought it, so she chose the colors for the plane to be sky blue and red. Not really thinking when I was covering the damn thing, I used the sky blue as the base color and red to accent some crap. Big freaking mistake, lol. Got the damn thing up in the sky and couldn't see much after it got a tad away. It was my first plane, so I was newb at flying and took it to some guys that work at Ryders. They flew it first and then did two or three training flights. One guy was kinda being an ass to me since I covered it mainly in blue (guess I can't blame him, probably thought I was some retarded kid, heh) and I eventually said forget the lessons (they were free, so it didn't matter) and just took the thing out behind our barn and flew it. Did alright the first couple runs, doing crash landings into soft weeds. I think it was the ninth flight where It kinda got away from me and I flew directly into a tree - I tried to pull up at the last second and give it 100% throttle, but that didn't help. A tree limb ripped my wing in half and the plane smashed into the ground from about 200 ft. The body and half a wing hit the ground, the other half of the wing was stuck in the tree - I had to wait several weeks before it fell down, heh. I could get it back up and running if I had the time, but after a while I figured that if I wanted to do it again I would just build a new one and harvest the engine, wheels, radio equipment, gas tank, etc from the old one.
In the last picture, the two parts of my plane are on the very top shelf that is out of the picture, but my wood stand is just to the left of that Tango pop can and my gas is just to the right of that orange Fanta pop bottle, both on the top shelf in the picture. Plane has been sitting there, dead, for about 2 years now, lol

. I've done cars too, only electric motors so far though.
