Sharing a few photos of my "Man Cave". Does anyone else display their K&C Toy Soldiers along with the real equipment. Feel free to share your pics ! Great place to watch a good WWII movie. {sm4} Above the desk is a Battle of The Bulge print signed by 4 Bulge veterans who received the Knights Cross.

Wow! Now that's an impressive mancave!! Excellent interior design. I love the movie viewing area and all the fine artifacts/collectibles behind glass. The real firepower looks outstanding and adds an entirely different dimension. Thanks sharing the pics.

Nice man-cave..!! I also have a mix of items in my "Museum" Original WWII items. 1/6th Figures.1/30 scale figures, and just about everything in between. I love mixing stuff together and using one to spotlight the other. Unfortunately i am at this moment in time unable to post pictures as all my stuff is packed in boxes while i am making a new...(bigger)...room ready.

Mein Gott, Wayne, DAS IST Wunderbar!

Reminds me of my days as a WWII Military Collector. I had about 75 German WWII Daggers and Swords along with hundreds of Medals and Tinnies. I especially like the stranger items I found like large German Eagles that were on the sides of trains, documents to individuals, hats, belt buckles and more.

I kept some of my USMC and Japanese Items but they are not on display. YOU have inspired me to did them out.

See the site www.therupturedduck.com for an excellent collection of "Authentic" memorabilia. Bill Shea (owner) and I used to do shows all over the country.

Good times but it got VERY expensive.

Thanks for the fantastic picts.

I would love to have a room like that Wayne.
In my room I am surrounded by dioramas and DVDs and lots and lots of figures in and out of their boxes

Wayne, that's a magnificent cave you've got there. Plenty of TS eye candy, beautiful weaponry, top notch display cabinets, and a very cozy TV nook. Enjoy it well..................Joe

Thank You Gents !

Yes, This is my continued work in progress. Main collecting focus is Waffen SS and the U.S. 101st
Airborne, specifically 506th PIR. I started adding the helmets, weapons, etc a few years ago and have
not stopped since. As far as the Toy soldier items, I have the ability to change out vehicles and figures
on display every few months to switch things up a bit ! It is always fun to see the look on visitors faces
and their reactions when they set foot in the doorway !

Hey Wayne, I really like your Man Cave, I'd like to have WW2 weapons like your MG42 in my collection but gun laws are very strict in Australia. You can display certain items here but there's a lot of red tape and ongoing expense, especially for operational weapons.

I'd like to have one of these for vermin control ha ha, but not going to happen:

Hi Wayne,

I also have a “ work in progress” in my man cave, I enjoyed your pics! I also mix my ts with full size replicas, specially medals, a few weapons, military art and original signed photographs.
Nice inspiration for me!
