My wife was getting fed up trying to clean etc around my "stuff".
,
She then suggested that we did away with the smaller spare bedroom and I convert it into my wargames room.
So now I have my wargames table permanently set up, my models safely stored, along with scenery and terrain pieces plus campaign maps etc up on the wall.
I have also got my small collection of minature helmets ranging from medieval pig faced bascinets to English Civil War Pikemans helmet and a Cavalry Lobster Pot helment, on display.
Even managed to fit in a full size replica medieval sword, a full size genuine 19th centrury Infantry Officers sword, and an old brass telescope.
Have a book shelf with all my wargame books, rule books and history books readily to hand.
She also insisted all my old RAF navigation equipment, Dalton Computer, Douglas Protractor, dividers, and an altimeter which I sort of "liberated" from a dead Shackleton along with its drift sight went into the "Man Cave". So they are displayed as well! I also have my old flying suit in there! Mind you it must have shrunk as I dont seem to be able to fit into any more!
Not to forget the tail fin from a Luftwaffe Incinderary bomb dropped on London in WW2.
Feeling a very lucky boy!
Just have this niggling voice at the back of my mind which keeps saying "What does she want"!
