not completely finished with cabinets, a few minor odds and ends to do.But enough to have moved all my collections into for now.
Still need another computer, desk/office corner.And a couch!
More construction coming this Spring.Right now, I've been playing with the sculpting putty making more Napoleonics.

Hi Fubar,

Thanks for sharing pictures of your Lair. It looks like a truly wonderful place to relax and engage in your favorite pastime. You have done a beautiful job with all the work involved. When is the open house scheduled? I know all of us Treefroggers want to attend!

As usual, your work is excellent. My compliments for a job well done!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Nice cave, lots of "treasure".

Are there any issues with temp or humidity down there? Assuming the environment is on the damp side, wondering if that could harm the figures?

Nice work Fubar: I am sure you will spend many hours there. You still got room for a few cows. They would like the TV. Take care. J

If I came over, I may never leave- that looks like it could be one of my alltime favorite places on the planet!!

Cool man cave I dream of having that much space. Looks like a fun place for war gaming.

Fubar, great Hobby room, I could see that place with built in custom shelves wall to wall. Here is an idea, make some rolling tables with drawers, you can then put your plywood table on top, then take it down and roll your tables up against the walls under your shelves.

Thanks Fub for following up on my request and it was well worth the wait. Knowing that your not finished with the lair yet I can't wait to see it when it's finish. Now got to convience Fish and Modwall to pool our resources and come up with a plan to visit the liar. It may be wishful thinking but it sure would be a fun time. Once again thanks for sharing your lair the Lt.

Harold thats one great looking play room! I like the wood you found its got a cool grain pattern. I could play in there for hours! Are we going to see some more napoleonic dioramas soon?
I wish I lived closer, I would invite myself over to play!

[Dickbuttons]

My compliments--what a beautiful place for your collection. Couldn't ask for a nicer and more spacious spot for the troops to gather.

Not too bad for an old corrall is it?Many a steer met their fate in there, I may be haunted by huge white Charlois bovine spirits!
We built my nephew a huge shop as well for his awning business.Dumb kid refused to insulate it. Figured he could tough it out all winter. He has but he regrets not doing it.
Have a good strong roof, I extended the hay loft , graveled the outside lenth of the place{120'} and am using that roof for storing pallets full of new plastic figures.
Front and back walls look like an old bunkhouse/ lineshack.Exactly like I wanted.Old antique logging gear, farm implements and Maritime stuf hanging on them.
It was fun.More rennovating the place this spring.
I still want some animals.At least some Pygmy goats and a shetlland pony!
Anyone from the forum that plans to be in Oregon are welcome to make arrangements to come by and see.

Fubar, that's a neat hobby area you have there. I have noticed that plywood is very popular in construction in the US, including the revamped US South Pole base. I guess you guys don't give it a second thought but to an Aussie it looks very unusual in external construction where we would use cement sheeting instead.

Here in the NW, we use wood as much as possible. I used as much old lumber as possible, not to be green, just hate to see anything wasted.Some of the timbers have been used 3 times. Once as dunnage on shipping vessals, once as part of the barn, now part of my hideout.

The inside is mostly new plywoodWalls and ceiling. I used a propane torch and burned each piece to show the grain.Sheetrock just doesnt do it for me and far more expensive.

I used old hayhooks for door handles and so forth, Welded them onto some stell with some holes drilled in them and lag screwed them in. I like it.
