My workspace is deathly boring.

On the desk.

On the wall.

I have a whole bunch I’ve been resisting bringing in. Currently, just a McDonalds MarioKart toy (Toad), a 1:24th scale two-door Range Rover diecast, a 1:24th Ford Ranger, a Hot Wheels Hurst Olds 442, and a Hot Wheels Hurst Chevelle wagon.

You do know there are two even bluer HW Ford GT versions? You could’ve had one of those to complete the color theme ;D.

Xyl0c41n3 > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht 05/06/2015 at 12:10

Oh yeah, I’ve got more I haven’t brought in. Including one of these:

A 1965 Mustang coup model made out of sheet metal. It's tiny and awesome. ^_^

Not a single one. I’m open to donations :)

The ‘stang isn't a HotWheel. It's a 1:64 M2 Machines die cast. ^_^

No toys or posters (yet), but I wear blipshift tees almost every day.

I do keep the hotwheels SL in the SL, and since Im using that as a DD currently, close enough?

Lol. That’s what I get for checking my notifications with one hand while messing around with what I’m actually supposed to be doing with the other. I cannot into multitasking, apparently. :P

Anyhoo.... How are ya, hon?

A coworker has a Vought F4U Corsair from one of those metal kits on his cabinet. I have none as yet.

That’s awesome! I had so many toys at my last office, but I’ve been trying to keep it toned down here. I may just finally give in, lol.

Here’s a Borg figurine I have, too. He was trying to steal the cupcake. ^_^

Busy with things lately, all that should clear out soon though. Also, it’s Hockey championship time! I’ll try to visit the chat sometime this week.

Oh boy, here we go.

Here’s a shot of my British cars.

And here are most of my Mopars.

And then there’s my smaller Ferrari collection.

I don’t have any cars at work :( But I am surrounded by posters of warships, namely DDG51 class and LCS Freedom Class. Here are two we have up at the moment:

DDG-113 U.S.S. John Finn - I did some of the structural inspections on her

LCS-5 U.S.S. Milwaukee - Currently undergoing builders trials

You win 10 internets! Talk to Wanda at the front counter. She’ll give you your voucher for your free internets.

Heh. But seriously, that's pretty awesome. ^_^

But what if your workspace... is a car?

Flat Six > Xyl0c41n3 05/06/2015 at 12:36

Haha, sweet. Your cupcake will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Its calories will be added to our own.

I think you should have enough toys on your desk to remind you that there is humor and life outside of the drudgery of work, but not so many that people are scared to go in your office :)

SHARPSPEED > Xyl0c41n3 05/06/2015 at 12:37

That first sentence is awfully familiar.

And my workspace is pretty much a parking lot so nowhere to keep things. Besides, my toys are bit fragile.

Post it! I posted photos of the toys I have in my car somewhere else here in the comments. ^_^

That's pretty much my philosophy exactly. ^_^

Is that a woody Dodge Magnum with a surfboard?

Alfalfa Romeo > Flat Six 05/06/2015 at 12:42

1

It most certainly is. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet, I may remove the surfboards and re-paint it.

Flat Six > Alfalfa Romeo 05/06/2015 at 12:46

The Magnum is a pretty ridiculous car to start with, so I think it suits it :)

As a student, my apartment counts as my workplace. From top to bottom: 510 Wagon, Lotus Esprit, E36 M3 Racecar, Civic EF, and 934 911 Turbo.

Also, the poster to the left is for LCD Soundsystem and the right is my college’s flag.

SHARPSPEED > Flat Six 05/06/2015 at 13:04

Actually it’s modeled after this scary-as-balls Customs and Border protection blackhawk. Like a Federal police or something.

Just a few ;) These are shots from a couple months back. There are more now, of course.

I saw a new beetle on the freeway the other day that was done up to look like Herbie. ^_^

Cah has mostly been replaced by irc. #oppocah https://kiwiirc.com/client

I have this guy on the window sill of my office. Also these Porsches I customized:

...And this on the dash of the car:

Well, I try to keep him on the dash, at least... :)

Hopefully you guys are aware there is a Kinja blog dedicated to diecasts: Live and Let Diecast!

If you are interested in authorship, please let me know!!

Cah servers started having some problems and people moved to irc and never really changed back.

I think the servers were partially down and the whole site was very slow and not working properly.

That looks like some kind of image editing program. You an illustrator?

Oh no way, that dirty mini Subaru is so cool! Damnit, they don’t sell them like that, how am I supossed to get one?

Xyl0c41n3 > PS9 05/08/2015 at 18:47

Nope. But that is something from the Adobe family. And I do do a fair amount of design in the course of my work. ^_^

Are you an illustrator? I feel like I remember you saying you do something creative work-wise.

No, I wish. I was working on something in Blender , but that was just a hobby. My real jobs are not worthy of public discussion lol

Justin Hughes > PS9 05/08/2015 at 18:59

Actually they do sell them like that now! I’ve had a clean one for years, and my girlfriend picked up the dirty version when she saw it.

Well, technically it’s not my workspace YET. Local Jimmy John’s needs drivers like crazy, but I need to finish the requisite ‘goofing off’ period of summer break for my sanity’s sake.
