What does your man cave/bar/reck room look like?

Interested in seeing how much airplane nuts we really are! :lol:

Ok I am currently living in my first apartment and its small so most of my stuff is stored at my Grandmas. What I got is just my computer desk and most of my aviation art that I collect.

Note the book "Doomed at the Start", my "bible". 8)

The girlfriend likes dolphins. But she does know a few of her warbirds: B-17, P-40, PBY, and Corsair! :o

Nathan, I've got that same print of VT-8 !!!!!!!!

Although not really accurate, both Earnest and Ferrier
signed mine. It is displays well with photos of the
returned TBF and the medals they earned that day.

Does this count? My Wife and Kids this this for me a few years back, this is the Living Room by the way! There is still more stuff in the attic, that I need to clean up before it can be displayed.

Hey Holedigger, how do you find anything when you are working? :lol:

Here's a few of my stuff. Much to my wife's dismay, it's not confined to just 1 room. :lol:

It’s changed a bit since this photo taken. I have really nice book shelves now, much taller than those shown. The 1/18 scale stuff is all gone now but the planes are still there, both hanging up now. Some of the art has changed, most of it by Jim Deitz and all of it has me in the paintings somewhere (I posed for the artist on a few of his prints). The mannequin now has my original WW2 war correspondent uniform on it.

Chris,
I'm in fuc)(*&^ awe! That is an amazing job!
And you've had to move it how many times in
the last few years. If I ever get up your way
I want to see and examine that in person!

Blue skies,
Owen

I love Alan Alda's picture hanging next to the AR-15!
Nice job on the room Chris!
I'd hate to think of having to rebuild it everytime I move!

I have more stuff now, but I have a much larger room to display it in. We are painting next week, so I should be well into decorating in a week or so. It will look not so mushed together. I was going for the Pilot hang out bar look. Like Poncho's on the right stuff.
