New Man Cave Taking Shape Finally!

Alright a bourbon fan!  I just got this for my birthday.  Willett Pot Still Reserve.    I also enjoy the hot sauces also seen here.  
I hope the room brings you many years of enjoyment.

That's funny about Jose.  He hasn't been around here in years.

Tend to lean toward Jack and John, with 4Spirits tossed in since they're local and give a portion of profits to veteran support organizations.  I run from Jose.

Thanks guys! I'm so jazzed with how this has turned out.

Greg, I chose that ceiling fan because my son is assigned to the Flying Tigers wing. Keeps him in my thoughts that way.

Tony, I do wish that I had Fermis' skills and talent to build such things!

Wp, that's Sam Grant bourbon. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm definitely a bourbon fan.

Jim the workbench is in the garage.

Wow! Great cave! Lots of light too.

I have one question, if I may be so bold. Where's the workbench?????????

Jim 

Stay Safe.

What a great room!  I'm with Greg.  The ceiling fan is way cool.

Is that Johnnie Walker on the wet bar?

 

 

 

 

Great place to hide.

I'm thinking more in the line of Jim Beam.

Like I said elsewhere,you are getting into Fermis territory

Looks great

Wow!

Now thats a man cave!

That's a very cool room, Stik.

Hard not to love that propellor ceiling fan.

Looks great!

And now, it’s just about all done... (he forgot to bring the parts for the toe kicks under the cabinets. They are sitting in his garage cut, stained, and varnished, just needing to be installed)

  I’m happy with my hobby area, but I willl admit to the vicarious enjoyment I experience when forum members update or rebuild their man caves.   Your space looks great, and I’m sure it’s only going to get better. The shelves are beautiful. 

TJ, I know, these did fill up too quick. But they are holding quite a bit!

Chad, that is serious amount of display real estate indeed! Worth every cent that I payed for this!

CT, I truly respect the craftsmanship and skill that the guy put into this. He does fantastic work. Anybody in the Phoenix AZ area who needs something like this, I highly recommend him.

RG, it’s getting there. The next phase will really make the room killer.

Keyser, the second one is already in the planning stage. Once it’s done I can build and display some larger models again!

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Sometime after the new year, the next phase will start and I’ll get more photos up.

Your display cabinet is a fine piece of work. I think you might need a second one soon.

That new Man Cave and display case are sweet Stik!

That's some serious display real estate right there!

Thanks guys! 

Greg, I’m sure in time, plenty of good times will be had in there.

Tony, I had two big garbage bags overflowing with stuffing. Fortunately my neighbor sews stuff and she was overjoyed to take the stuff off of my hands.

Jim, I can’t believe that nearly all of my builds fit on this set up. I am so looking forward to getting the room completed.

Wow! Very nice cabinet. It's contents are great too. Good luck with the rest of the plan for the room. 

Jim 

Stay Safe.

That's an awesome display cabinet, Stik.

Actually, the whole room looks pretty awesome to me. Wish you lots of good times in there my friend.

Thanks Paul. Moving is a major PITA. This is my last one, our forever home. I’m leaving this place in a body bag on a gurney. 

Thankfully, aside from a few small things that look to have vibrated loose during the drive here, the aircraft unpacked so far have been remarkably intact. Cleaning off the last few stuffing fibers is more tedious!

Looks like a real labor of love.  Moving is such a pain in the a** I can't imagine the care taken to move the aircraft.  Enjoy the new home.

TJ, Wingy Thingies on the way today. Not sure that I’ll be able to get them all on there in the remaining space.

Brandon, yes, I’m gonna need more shelves. There are still lots more unbuilt kits to get done and displayed.

Very impressive.  How does someone move all those very delicate models?  Please forgive me if you addressed that in a previous post.  How do you decide what location the models go on the shelf?  The best ones at eye level and not so favorite ones on the bottom?

 

Thanks WP. I packed them all up starting in summer 2019. The armor builds were easy, just using foam padding in between and sheeting underneath in large low Tupperware bins, and very careful handling of the bins once packed. For the aircraft builds, I used Tojo’s method of polyfil fiber toy and pillow stuffing to suspend the builds within the Tupperware containers. 

These are the built kits in their containers plus a few larger kits from the stash in the same area of the room before the shelf unit.

Well that is super cool. I hope to start the same thing next year when we move. Your room is very nice and super cool. But, you will need way more space. Right?

Looking forward to the wingy things.

The guy who built this definitely loves what he does. This is awesome

Bill, 96 feet indeed! A LOT of shelf space. This guy does some seriously good work. 

Tony, nope, no glass. A bit out of my price range on what I could afford for now. So it will be the usual periodic dusting of these.

John, I’m working on filling them up now...

Nick, no need to buy more kits. I have a more than adequate stash. Now I just need to build them!

All of my armor builds have been placed on their new home! Aircraft start tomorow.
