The shelves and decor (including framing the prints) are hand made by the owner. This is not my shed, but rather that of one of my best friends, but it is he that first got me interested in this sort of thing. In the late 1970's he was in the military. And while he was gone all over the world keeping us safe from the red menace, his sister-in-law sold me nearly all of his comics and his Howard and Wagner books, etc for very little money. When he got back you'd think he would be P.O.ed but he wasn't. He loaned me whatever books that I hadn't already got and I have been hooked ever since. I have about 1/30th as many statues as he does, I just thought it would be cool to post pics of his shed and he said it would be OK.

It is about the size of a 1 stall garage but without a garage door, constructed wood frame on a concrete slab. I has a regular sized (36") door and a couple of windows. It has a pool table in the center, and as you can see, a TV and stereo system. It has a desk where he works on his models, because in addition to statues he loves to construct and paint models, mostly from things popular when he was young, such as sci-fi and horror movies of the late 50's through the 60's.
The outside has standard white siding. Next time I am over there I will take photos of the outside and maybe I can talk him into becoming a member of the forum.

Thanks for sharing, That is a great idea. We have a small beat up shed, but maybe I could put up a bigger, nicer one for all my hobbies. Hmmmmm...
I'd also like to see the exterior of the shed. Thanks again!

That's simply the most incredible spread I've ever seen! I see you've even got the four of the Hamilton Action Spider-Man battle scenes! I love those! I'm blown away by what you've done in "the Shed." Bravo!

only scary thing that got my attention was the fact that you have a pool table in the middle of all this.......
I can just see balls flying off the table and Q-sticks getting waaaaay to close to the statues
