Wargame Tables

When I spoke to my builder I told him I wanted my wargame basement to be lit up like a supermarket.

Here is the construction of the wargame tables.

My collection is in a couple hundred underbed storage boxes and so the collection will be stored on shelves underneath.

Here is Randy the Contractor building the tables.  He is building one table on top of the other because it's easier that way.

There will be a small support piece in the center of the shelves to help hold the weight of the boxes.  They get installed later.

Still lots of space in the basement.

First two items on the wargame table are a Tim Mee F104 and a F11 Tiger jets.  They are both just about 1/72nd scale.

The room is 60 feet long and the plan is to have two parallel tables, 44 feet long each.  There are walkways about three feet wide on both sides of the tables.  Tables are seven feet wide and 40 inches tall, with a four inch overhang around the edge.

The House

My wife and I are building our new home in Kentucky. 

It's not just a wargaming room.  We are going to live here.

Our kitchen, dining room, and pantry area has a Coca-Cola theme.

Looking out of the laundry room into the kitchen.

Breakfast bar space.  We retired, sold our home, paid off our debts, and used all the rest of the money to have a new home built for our retirement.  It's the home we always wanted.

Tim Mee Cold War Jets

Tim Mee Cold War Fighter Planes includes two fighters, an F11 Tiger US Navy fighter and this one, a US Air Force F104 Starfighter.

The US Navy only used 200 F11 Tiger jets but the Air Force.  Over 2,500 of these jets were built and used by 15 nations.

The model is about 1/72nd scale and works well with these Airfix soft plastic figures.

This is the packaging header card for these jets, and it shows the sticker placement.

Here are the stickers, one sticker for each upper wing is the norm for national insignia on US Air Force jets of the era and one on each side.  Thanks Tim Mee for the review samples.
